Cons Brief. The Bottom Line A glimpse of pre-literate Rus. Full Review Storytelling is what makes us human. Other distinctions have been proposed. But birds, otters, chimps, and many other animals use tools. And animals communicate at least as well as we do. Not only can birds imitate the human voice, but other methods, posture, proxemics, pheromones, color, can all be just as useful as vocalizations, often leaving less ambiguity. And religion? Souls? Who can say. The one thing humans do have a monopoly on is storytelling. The ability to tell of events or thoughts occurring in distant or unseen places, of words spoken long ago, or never. Of people who lived before, or never. The ability to communicate deeper than words. This is what makes us human. The family album of Rus, the tales of old Russia, provide a link to the past, to a Rus separated from its European destiny by the Tatar (Mongol) Yoke. A past distilled to us through the evolution tales experienced under the Yoke and after, until transcription began to claim them in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These tales take different forms. Myth. Legend. Folklore. Sung epics. A survey of these creatures is entombed within

23. Team I 1) Russian mythological stories (house and nature spirits) January 15 interviews with villagers about russian mythology in Talashkino and other nearby http://www.russianexpedition.net/team_i-2004.htm

Team I, January 11-22, 2004 A winter road is a road also. Under the accompaniment of the monotonous tapping of spinning wheels and cracking wood in the hot burning stove, we are led to the parallel world of sorcerers, house spirits and forest masters. The snow clearly squeaks under our tireless feet. The new snowflakes slowly come down to the earth from the milky white sky covering our footprints. A broom with which we sweep the snow from our boots (before crossing a cherished threshold) “guards” every door in a peasant log house. Maybe a gray hear witch or a funny tailor or a skillful lace maker lives inside this threshold. We have an honor to invite you in our January expedition. The work of this team will be mainly focused on three basic programs: Russian mythological stories (house and nature spirits) Rituals: The Old New Year and Fortune Telling (January, 13) Folk Art (working at the Smolensk museum of Folk Art) We will have an expedition documenting unique winter rituals - songs, dances and the special ritual of kaliadovanie where people (women dressed as men and men dressed as women or animals) go door to door to bestow good luck and solicit treats. And nobody dares to reject giving them food and small money, because everyone knows that family happiness, health and future harvest depend on the blessing of strangers. At the evening of January, 13 the old ladies conduct a ritual of fortune telling – kol’tsa zakidyvat’. If you are interested in knowing what will happen next year, this is the place where you will get the answer.

25. Dazhdbog In Russian Mythology EDUCATION PLANET 122 Web Sites for MythologyDazhdbog in russian mythology (cached) * - Dazhdbog in russian mythology or Hisstory Sergei Naumov , 1994. Based on Russian folklore and personal research. http://metalab.unc.edu/sergei/Dazhdbog.html

Dazhdbog in Russian mythology or His story by (c) Sergei Naumov , 1994. Based on Russian folklore and personal research. An Internet version adopted for the WWW server "Dazhdbog's Grandchildren" The picture at the end is taken from the book "Yazichestvo drevnej Rusi" ("Paganism of ancient Rus") by Boris Ribakov. Roll 10 "Tell, Gamayun, prophetic bird, tell about the birth of Dazhdbog the Kind, the son of Mighty Perun and beautiful mermaid Ros. And about the combat with father of him, as they fought and fraternized, tell about Dazhdbog's victory..." "Of what that know, hide nothing I will..." In the ancient Russian mythology Dazhdbog appears as a son of the Almighty Perun and a mermaid named Ros Perun is a son of Svarog (Vedic Isvara ) who is a top God in Russian pagan beliefs, a kind of an analogue of Cronos of the Greeks, although he did not actually create the World, he only created the living Universe but... this is the different story of cosmological beliefs of Russians. Perun symbolizes a victory (not the war as he is not Mars , and ancient Russians did not have this kind of god) over enemies, lightnings and things of that sort (looks like Zeus of Greeks but not exactly as he shares some other functions). Basically

Russian version ON THE SARMATIAN FEAST KOLYADA by Sergei V. Rjabchikov One can decode the record on a fragment of a vessel discovered at Malaya Zemlya near Novorossisk (the Krasnodar Territory, Russia) (Onayko 1970: 75, figure 30 [5]), see figure 1. Figure 1. This Scythian/Sarmatian text reads ga (ka) bera (bela) 'the bull/cow - the bear', cf. Old Indian go 'bull; cow', bhalla 'bear', Russian berloga 'lair', German 'bear', English bear Let us examine the Kerch slab from the ancient town Panticapeum, the capital of the Bosporan kingdom (modern Kerch, the Crimea, Ukraine), now it is in the Kerch Museum of local lore. Some Sarmatian signs depicted on this slab (Drachuk 1975: table XXXV) are presented in figures 2 and 3. Figure 2. Figure 3. One can distinguish several words in figure 2. First of all, the names read Tabe Ma '(the sun/fire goddess) Tabiti Makosh' ', and according to my theory, the Russian fairy-tale personage Baba-Yaga (the old woman Yaga ) and mythological personage Makosh' are equal to the Scythian/Sarmatian goddess Tabiti (Rjabchikov 2001). The words

Eng.Islam.Ru New muslim converts / Does Russia have future without Islam? Does Russia have future without Islam? Manifesto of the Russian Monotheism* If a Russian person could to speak with God directly, without any intermediaries, as any Muslim does, it would have increased his pride and dignity. J.Nikitin. ‘Rage’ The dialectics of political history In the history of various nations one can observe the same cyclical recurrence: the beginning of a complete cycle of political development is the primordial natural democracy; later on it leads to the dictatorship of the ruling elite headed by the representative monarch, which gravitates towards the absolute monarchy, to stagnation, and the end of the statehood comes as the result of the attempts to establish actual autocracy. Thus, Ancient Shumer priests assembled a public meeting on the sacred territory (the territory of a temple) chaired by the High Priest - ensi, and the people made their own decisions on all the major issues of their life. At wartime there was a rise of lugal’ – the military leader, who later usurped the power and ordered that the priests should create a new mythology, which would say that his power "had been given to him by Heaven". The image of the major military leader transformed into the image of the God-man, the deputy or the anointed sovereign of God on the Earth. But when the Shumer king Naram-Sin proclaimed himself the incarnated god and autocrat, his kingdom collapsed and disintegrated, and his people were exterminated by enemies. The ashes of the Shumer and Akkad Empire gave birth to Babylon which followed the same historical turn.

NEWSLETTER of the Slavic Interest Group 10 January, AS XXXI (1997) Volume II, Issue 2 (#5) From the Nachalnik Greetings all! The first thing of importance is to note that my address has changed. The new address is: Paul Goldschmidt, 755 Siemers, Platteville WI 53818. Phone and e-mail remain unchanged. And this musing brings two very different thoughts to my mind. One, the importance of being careful with our jests and humor. And two, the sheer miracle of having a group that supports and encourages all Slavic cultures. SIG is a panslavist's idea of paradise þ a place where we can explore common threads that tie all of the Slavic cultures (and their non-Slavic neighbors) together. I challenge all of you to look for these commonalities and not to simply reject others' activities as "that's Polish, and I do Hungarian" or "why can't we have a group just for Russian personae?!" Finally, we are now up to a membership of 88 people and have grown exponentially in activity. The fruit of this growth is this much larger newsletter which features four articles written by our members. The downside is that increasing expense is forcing me to prune the mailing list. I have enclosed a corrections and confirmation form at the end of this Newsletter. Please fill this out and send it to me (or copy the information to me by e-mail) as soon as you can. Also, if you do not need to receive the newsletter in hard copy but would still like to be a member, now is your chance to indicate such. My special thanks to Leszek z Szczytna for his generous monetary contribution this month which is underwriting a portion of the expense of the mailing.
