What is Slavic Paganism? What do we know about the religious beliefs, myths, and ritual practices of the East Slavs? Who was their primary deity? This review talks about religious practices of Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians and Rusyns before the Christianization of Kyivan Rus by the Great Prince Volodymyr. You will learn about their gods, culture, and other divine beings they worshiped (such as domovoy, vodyanoy, ovine, polevoy, leshy, etc.)
