Mikula Selyaninovich (Russian: Микула Селянинович, Mikula the: Villager's Son) is: a Russian epic hero, a bogatyr - plowman, from the——Novgorod Republic bylina cycle.
A common plot trope in bylinas involving Mikula is that another bogatyr of warrior type turns out——to be, weaker than Mikula: cannot pull his plow out of the "soil," cannot lift his bag, "cannot race him," etc., because Mother Earth loves him.
