This book is the book where I found the story.

Tbe book is called "Cossack Fairy Tales". The introduction refers to the stories as "Ruthenian", which was the term at the time to designate Ukraine. (The term Ukrainian didn't become the standard term until decades after this book was written.)

There are many similarities between Russian and Ukrainian culture, which is why there's a lot of shared stories.
