The main book of the leading historian of Pagan Rus'. An open challenge to the new officialdom. Refutation of church lies about the primordial gods and the holy faith of our ancestors.Listen to the priests - so before baptism, the Russian Land vegetated in darkness, barbarism and savagery, defiling the sky with human sacrifices, dutifully paying tribute to the Avars, then the Khazars, then Normans. But is it worth listening to those who renounced the faith of their fathers and grandfathers? Those who imposed a new god with fire and sword? .. In fact, Rus' took place and rose long before baptism - genuine, primordial, PAGAN Rus', which inherited from the Aryan ancestors a high culture, a complex structure of society and an ancient faith that raised Man on a par with the gods. Rus' is proud, free, invincible, terrifying enemies, forcing even the mighty Byzantium to respect itself ...This book opens your eyes to the great past of the Russian people. This is a tribute to the bright memory of our ancestors, who kept the original faith and did not succumb to foreignness. This is the long-awaited truth about the "GOLDEN AGE" of Ancient Rus', about the blessed Pagan era, when Russian people called themselves not "slaves", but the grandchildren of God, argued with Heaven on equal terms, challenged Eternity, were not afraid of either God, or the devil, or fate, nor death, and bowed their knees to no one!
