Biography
Paraskeva Nikitichna was born into a family of serfs , an Izhor of the Orthodox faith in the Miskunmyaki farm of the village of Mäkienkylä of Lempaal parish. From childhood, she listened and remembered the ancient runes (songs) of her people. At 15, she remained an orphan.
In 1853, Nikitina married a peasant, Gavrila Stepanova, and moved to live with her husband, in the village of Vaskela, on the other side of the Russian-Finnish border, where serfdom was not known. Gavrila had to pay a landowner ransom for his wife - 24 rubles. The house in which the rune-singer’s family lived in Vaskela was called, according to Finnish tradition, “Larin Tupa” or “Izba Lari”, hence the name of the rune-singer - Larin Paraske. The family had 9 children, six died in childhood.
The discovery of talent Larin Paraske happened in 1877 when a strong need forced her to come to the folklore collector A.A. Borenius. Later, the cries and runes of Paraske were recorded by local pastor A. Neovius. Folklorists and ethnographers paid her little money for performing folk songs [3] .
The real popularity came to the rune singer in the 1890s , when she was invited to Helsingfors ( Helsinki ) and other cities of Finland to perform Izhora runes. Her portraits were painted by painters E. Järnefelt , E. Nordlund, B. Lagerstam, crying Larin listened and recorded by composer Jan Sibelius , newspapers wrote about her. In 1893, the first collection of songs by Larin Paraske was published.
Paraskeva Nikitichna ended her days in illness and poverty on January 3, 1904. She was buried in the Orthodox cemetery at St. Andrew's Church in Palkeala (now Zamosc ) [4] .
Memory
In 1911, seven years after the death of the famous rune-singer, her grave was decorated with a monument erected by the Youth Society of South Karelia and the Finnish Literary Society. Larin's poetic lines were knocked out on it: “The wind brought me songs, // Icy spring gust, // The sea pushed them to me, // They drove their sea waves”. In the 2000s, this monument was restored.
In 1931, in the anthology published in Finland, Suomen kansan vanhat runot (Ancient Songs of the Finnish People), a separate volume is dedicated to the work of Larin Paraske. It included 1152 songs, 1750 proverbs, riddles and lamentations.
The sculptural image of Larin Paraske is also installed in Helsinki .
A commemorative plaque saying that Larin Paraske lived in the area is on the wall of one of the shops between the village Vaskelovo and Lembolovo.
The Finnish public organization annually awards the prize “Larin Paraske” for “word mastery” [5] .
