Slavic mythology, especially the Eastern (Russian) Slavs, remained poorly studied until the 19th century. It was as if she didn't exist. This is due both to the Christianization of the Slavs, as a result of which the myths were consigned to oblivion, and to the consequence of this process - the loss of the original mythological texts. The present time is marked by a rapid surge of interest in folklore, ethnography and mythology - not only Russian and common Slavic, but also Proto-Slavic, which, having largely adapted to Christianity, continued to exist in various forms of oral folk art. The ancient pagan cult presupposed the deification of nature, and man’s first knowledge of it was at the same time his religion. Therefore, to a certain extent, beliefs, superstitious signs, and ritual songs, folk tales, and legends. Slavic mythology is comprehensive, it covers all aspects of human existence - from the belief in goblins and goblins to the agricultural calendar, from ritual rites to the identification of pagan Perun with the Christian saint Elijah the Prophet. Therefore, it continues to live - in images, in symbolism, in rituals and in the language itself. For primary and secondary school age. Contents: Fragments of a broken world.
