   Extractions: The picture at the end is taken from the book "Yazichestvo drevnej Rusi" ("Paganism of ancient Rus") by Boris Ribakov. "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).

   Extractions: Chernobog. (A. Fantalov, picture in Indian ink). In specific development stage the Slavs borrowed in Persians dualistic system. Good, creative beginning symbolized Belobog (Dazhdbog), evil, destructive - Chernobog, surrounded by Navs (perfumes of dead persons). In this image of Chernobog it has common features with Veles, god of hunting and the Other world in the Slav mythology. Vey. (A. Fantalov, picture in Indian ink). Vey, apparently, in the myths was initially the judge of the other world, "ruling above the infernal countries, where among the boiling sea of ashes stood its throne", to its idol, forged from iron, "they sacrificed not only blood of animals, but also human, especially during any public mishaps" (G.A. Glinka). Fatal view twisting it was hidden by enormous eyelash, which raised by pitchforks its assistants.

    Extractions: Stribog. (A. Fantalov, the image in Indian ink). Stribog, probably, was considered in Slavic myths as the god of a wind. Veles. (A. Fantalov, picture in Indian ink). The problem does not appear with the identification of the Slav god of terrestrial forces, since eastern Slavic Veles (hair) is extremely close to Balt Vels (Veln). It enjoyed popularity and he was considered the god of "entire Russia" in contrast Perun - the patron of princely guard. In Kiev Perun's idol stood on the mountain, and the idol of Veles on the hem, in the lower part of the city. In the Old-Russian sources of Veles it comes out as the god of cattle and wealth. "Word about the regiment of Igor" calls legendary poet Boyan possibly, lived with the court Russian prince Yaroslav by "Veles grandson", what reflects the connection of the god of terrestrial forces with the ritual and, in the genesis - by priestly functions. Veles left rich track in the folklore of Slavs. In the winter Christmastides, from 25 December through 6 January (from 7 January through 19 January by the new style), and also to the carnival - on 24 March (on 6 April) was conducted by men with the beast (bool and bear) masks and reversed mechanical ohm outside sheepskin coats, with cattle bells in belt. This custom remained in Bulgarians to the second-half of 20 centuries. With the name of this deity is connected the custom of the leaving of last ears in the field, " to the Veles's beard". Legend about the fiery snake. (A. Fantalov, picture in Indian ink).

    Extractions: Simonovs collection of Russian myths is extensive, covering several topics. The stories are written in an interesting, entertaining way, easy to read aloud if desired. Some Russian myths are very confusing, though, for those who are used to the coherence of Grimms fairy tales. In my opinion, the best part of the book arent the fairy tales themselves, but the informational paragraphs that precede them. Most stories have some explanatory introduction, teaching readers about such things as house spirits called the Domovoi, and the ways that the spirits of girls who died young have of tormenting the living. Overall, this book gives a wonderful look at Russian folktales and mythology.
