The new book by the famous researcher of Slavic paganism M. Seryakov is dedicated to the cult of the sun among our distant ancestors and, to a certain extent, is a continuation of his work “Dazhbog - the progenitor of the Slavs.” Among the Slavs, the sun was one of the main objects of worship. On the eve of the baptism in the pantheon of Vladimir in 980, ancient chronicles even record two solar deities - Khors and Dazhbog, occupying second and third place after the supreme thunderer Perun. According to many researchers, Khora was borrowed by the Slavs from their southern Iranian-speaking neighbors and is an example of Scythian religious influence on the beliefs of our distant ancestors. Dazhbog, according to “The Tale of Igorevo’s Campaign,” was the ancestor of either only the Russian princes, or the entire Russian people. The author is convinced that the great solar myth was just an abstract idea; over the centuries it manifested itself in a variety of ways in the lives of our distant ancestors , being its spiritual core.
