Slavic mythology was no less magnificent than the myths of ancient Greece, Rome or Egypt familiar to us since childhood. But from thousands of legends, crumbs have reached us - and for several centuries, historians have been restoring the lost bit.
Perun and mokosh, choir and stribog, Veles and Dazhbog, Svarog and Lado - all of them had to disappear from the memory of the Slavs after the adoption of Christianity. But even the strength and determination of Prince Vladimir could not destroy the ancient faith: in Russian fairy tales and legends of peoples there are no, no, the shadows of old deities flickered.
In the work of the outstanding historian of culture, professor Alexander Damntsyn (1841-1896), one of the first researchers of Russian folklore, all known information about the faith, rites and gods of the southern, western and eastern Slavs.
The book is richly illustrated by rare engravings and paintings of masters of Slavic painting
