The bird Sirin is a symbol of happiness in ancient
Russian mythology, a mythological creature
of Russian legends, with the head and chest of a
beautiful woman and the body of a bird. The legend
of Sirin might have been introduced to Rus'
by Persian merchants in the 8th-9th century.

4. In 2014, the year of the 130th anniversary since the birth of N. Klyuev,
in the city of Vytegra was created an arboretum named after Nikolai
Klyuev, in which planted trees, flowers and shrubs, often referred to by
the poet. Creation of the Park is an interesting experience that allows
to perpetuate the memory of one of the most talented Russian poets,
and an instrument of shaping the moral attitude towards nature

Sirin

The heavenly creature Sirin is a "hybrid" of a virgin and a bird, a
character in ancient Russian legends. There is a version that this
is the direct "heiress" of mythical sirens, owners of marvelous,
but destructive voices. However, the reputation of the Sirin bird
is much better: it was believed that she sings songs of happiness
and joyful songs about heavenly bliss. Very often people lost their
minds from her songs. The second character is an unsightly,
slightly funny Blue Bird, with a human face, symbolizing the
freedom and unpredictability of that very happiness

The main idea of the composition is that a person who has locked
his Sirin in a cage and thereby protected himself from imaginary
happiness is able to see and experience real happiness.
In ancient Russian legends, Vyacheslav Smirnov continues, Sirin is
usually depicted together with another bird of paradise -
Alkonost, who is believed to sing songs of sorrow. In Western
European mythology, Sirin is the embodiment of an unhappy soul.
