Paganism and Ancient Rus

The book represents the reissue of classical labor on the problem of pagan heritage in the history and culture of Russia. The author E.V. Nynichkov, who worked in the first third of the 20th century, was not fond of romantic speculation and scientists with reconstructions inherent in domestic science of the second half of the last century. He sought to comprehend the pagan heritage on the basis of sufficiently miser data of the sources, relying on the recognized methods of comparative historical and texture analysis of documents. The book contains an analysis of authentic pagan sources. The understanding of this heritage contributes to the understanding of the foundations of Russian culture
