WThe Slavic Native Faith, commonly known as Rodnovery and sometimes as Slavic Neopaganism, is a modern Pagan religion. Classified as a new religious movement, its practitioners harken back to the historical belief systems of the Slavic peoples of Central and Eastern Europe, though the movement is inclusive of external influences and hosts a variety of currents. "Rodnovery" is a widely accepted self-descriptor within the community, although there are Rodnover organisations which further characterise the religion as Vedism, Orthodoxy, and Old Belief.
WThe swastika, which is found on Slavic and Baltic patterns, has pronounced features of the solar cult.
WThe Book of Veles is a literary forgery purporting to be a text of ancient Slavic religion and history supposedly written on wooden planks.
WThe Russian Religion, also termed Russian Vedism, is one of the earliest doctrines of Rodnovery in Russia, founded in 1992 in Saint Petersburg by the psychologist and esoteric scientist Viktor Mikhaylovich Kandyba — revered as "Prophet Kandy" within the movement, whence the latter is also known as Kandybaism — and his son Dimitry Viktorovich Kandyba. It is a monotheism based on Slavic heritage, and as such it has been compared to Ukrainian Sylenkoism. The concept of "Russian" in the name "Russian Religion" does not identify an ethnic identity, but a spiritual one, being used as a synonym of the concept of "Aryan". The adherents of the doctrine are simply called Russians or Vedists, while rarely known by the less ambiguous term Kandybaites.
WNative Polish Church, Rodzimy Kościół Polski (RKP) – a West Slavic pagan religious association that refers to ethnic, pre-Christian beliefs of the Slavic people. The religion has its seat in Warsaw. Temples gathering local believers are spread throughout the country, The RKP was registered with the Polish Ministry of the Interior's registry of denominations and churches in March 1995.
WThe Native Ukrainian National Faith, also called Sylenkoism (Силенкоїзм) or Sylenkianism (Силенкіянство), and institutionally also known as the Church of Ukrainian Native Faith or Church of the Faithful of the Native Ukrainian National Faith, is a branch of Rodnovery specifically linked to the Ukrainians that was founded in the mid 1960s by Lev Sylenko (1921–2008) among the Ukrainian diaspora in North America, and first introduced in Ukraine in 1991. Sylenkoite communities are also present in Western Europe and Oceania. The doctrine of this tradition is codified into a sacred book composed by Sylenko himself, the Maha Vira. Sylenkoite theology is characterised by a solar monotheism.
WPeterburgian Vedism or Peterburgian Rodnovery, or more broadly Russian Vedism and Slavic Vedism, is one of the earliest branches of Rodnovery and one of the most important schools of thought within it, founded by Viktor Nikolayevich Bezverkhy in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in the 1970s. Early Peterburgian Vedism developed independently from other Rodnover movements in the inland of Russia, due to the distinguished culture of the city of Saint Petersburg itself, and represents one of the most cohesive right-wing nationalist Rodnover movements.
WPraskozorje is a Bosnian panslavistic movement. As noted on the official website, the movement was founded to promote cultural revival of the Bosnian people and disappearance of ethno-religious hatred among different (south) Slavic ethnicities.
WPrillwitz idols is a large number of bronze figurines and bronze relief plates allegedly found in late 17th century. The first publication about them, in 1768, further claimed that the figurines found by the village of Prillwitz came from a pagan shrine in Rethra, a major town of Polabian Slavs, and Prillwitz is the location of Rethra.
WAnastasianism or the Ringing Cedars is a new religious movement, often classified as New Age, that started in central Russia in 1997 and has since spread across the world. Ringing Cedars' Anastasians are sometimes categorised by scholars as part of Rodnovery, and often as a modern Pagan movement of their own. The Anastasians also define their life conception as Russian Vedism and themselves as Vedrussians (ведруссы), and Anastasianism has therefore often been classified among the various self-styled "Vedic" religions arising in post-Soviet Russia.
WOther than the many gods and goddesses of the Slavs, the ancient Slavs believed in and revered many supernatural beings that existed in nature. These supernatural beings in Slavic religion come in various forms, and the same name of any single being can be spelled or transliterated differently according to language and transliteration system.
WRodnovery is critical towards what Rodnovers call the "mono-ideologies". By "mono-ideologies", they mean all those ideologies which promote "universal and one-dimensional truths", unable to grasp the complexity of reality and therefore doomed to failure one after the other. These mono-ideologies include Christianity and the Abrahamic monotheisms in general, and all the systems of thought and practice that these religions spawned throughout history, including both Marxism and capitalism, the general Western rationalistic mode of thinking begotten by the Age of Enlightenment, and ultimately the technocratic civilisation based on the idea of possession, exploitation and consumption of the environment. They are regarded as having led the world and humanity to a dead-end, and as destined to disappear and to be supplanted by the values represented by Rodnovery itself. To the "unipolar" world created by the mono-ideologies, and led by the American-influenced West, the Rodnovers oppose their political philosophy of "nativism" and "multipolarism".
WIn the Russian intellectual milieu, Slavic Native Faith (Rodnovery) presents itself as a carrier of the political philosophy of nativism/nationalism/populism (narodnichestvo), intrinsically related to the identity of the Slavs and the broader group of populations with Indo-European speaking origins, and intertwined with historiosophical ideas about the past and the future of these populations and their role in eschatology.
WVseyasvetnaya Gramota is a Rodnover movement based on an elaborate doctrine of esoteric linguistics or natural philosophical linguistics, holding that there is a continuity between language, script, the cosmos and God, corroborated by the etymological relation that in East Slavic languages exists between yazychnik, "pagan", and yazyk, "language". The movement was begun in Russia by Anany Shubin-Abramov (1938–2019) in the 1980s, and was later incoporated as a homonymous public organisation.
WYnglism, institutionally the Ancient Russian Ynglist Church of the Orthodox Old Believers–Ynglings is a direction of Rodnovery formally established in 1992 by Aleksandr Yuryevich Khinevich in Omsk, Siberia, Russia, and legally recognised by the Russian state in 1998, although the movement was already in existence in unorganised forms since the 1980s. The adherents of Ynglism call themselves "Orthodox Old Believers", "Ynglings" or "Ynglists".
