Russian term or phrase: богатырские подвиги
Современные сказочники, эти творцы и носители русской сказки, чрезвычайно разнообразны по своему репертуару, по характеру творчества, мировоззрению и по манере рассказывания. Одни из них идеализируют патриархальную старину, другие резко критикуют старые устои. Одни любят эпические повествования о богатырских подвигах или волшебные сказки о борьбе чудесного героя с темными силами сказочного царства, другие предпочитают ловкого солдата и сатирические рассказы о жадном барине или сластолюбивом попе, которых беспощадно высмеивают.
Roman
heroic deeds
Explanation:
In your text "bogatyrskie" is an adj.(kakie) and not noun (kto bogatyr) So, I would say "heroic" instead "hero.".

богатырские подвиги
heroes' feats


Explanation:
epic tales of heroes' feats (deeds)
Или warriors' feats.
Или даже warrior heroes' feats.

Здесь "богатырские" в смысле "подвиги богатырей", поэтому не heroic, a heroes'
