Maria Semyonova is a great master who has made her mark in Russian literature. She created her own "quasi-Slavic" world, earning the gratitude and sincere admiration of millions of readers. Her works include "The Swan Road," "Duel with the Serpent," "Where the Forest Does Not Grow," "Valkyrie," "The Sword of the Dead," and many other novels. Her most famous work, "Wolfhound," has become a bedside book for many, which they reread and take with them on their travels, as if it were a piece of their own home. However, "The Last of the Gray Dogs" would not have come to light without its unnamed alter ego, a Vyatich or Krivich, a hero from the popular encyclopedia "We Are Slavs!" According to the writer, both of these books were created in parallel. Thus, the great mythmaker Maria Semyonova dispelled the myth that our ancestors silently disappeared into oblivion. Memories of them have been covered in the dust of centuries and archives, yet there is enough information for more than one volume.
Strictly speaking, the encyclopedia cannot be classified as a result of scientific research, primarily due to its emotional, lively presentation - but perhaps this is what will be remembered by the reader? Nevertheless, this book contains a serious factual material, mostly dedicated to paganism, in which the author sees the keys to understanding the spiritual and material world of the ancient Slavs. Mythology and pantheon, everyday life and customs, household items, weapons, crafts - this book can be read from any chapter and in any order with consistently increasing interest.
The edition contains over 300 illustrations based on ethnographic sources.
