This book reveals the origins of the folk worldview of Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians, tracing the periodization of paganism: dualistic animism, the cult of fertility deities, the warrior cult of Perun, followed by Christianity. It analyzes the origins of pagan gods, ideas about the world and the forces that govern it, dating back to the hunting societies of the Paleolithic and Mesolithic. The worldview of ancient landowners of the 4th-3rd millennia BC is examined in detail. in Ukraine and its echoes in the Slavic worldview. The ethnogenesis of the Slavs, as well as the sanctuaries and burial rites of the Proto-Slavs, are examined.
