So grateful to bump into your brilliantly detailed presentation. My father was born in Riga. In 1936 it was Russia. I have been intrigued with Russian and Baltic folklore, as well as their history. Paldies! ❤🔥
Would really love anything else you can dig up on the folklore and mysticism of Russian and Slavic history. Because of the actions of the past it is so hard to find large sources with in depth explanations. Love the channel and the work you have done here though. Thank you very much.
Out of the subject but I was watching many videos in rural Russia lately and I was always amazed by all those wood's "lattice like" house decorations on all the wooden houses . I was wondering if someone at one point took the time to repertoriate all those wonderful decorative art pieces and make a book about them . I think they deserve to be archived ....I can't see the younger generation keeping that beautiful tradition somehow . :(
You might want to look into the photographs of Prokudin Gorsky, a pioneer of color photography who traveled throughout Russia and photographed much architecture before the revolution. His collection is now at the Library of Congress: www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?st=grid&co=prok. A contemporary architectural photographer is Dr. William Craft Brumfield, who has done amazing work documenting Russia's rich architectural heritage. Here's the link to the lecture he presented for our museum: ua-cam.com/video/_CP1Ul6gVJw/v-deo.html.
They say that an acceptable amount of birchbark letters have been discovered in Russia that pre-date Christianity in Russia and go back to pagan Russia to prove that Rus people were in fact literate even before the coming of Christianity. So many pagan Rus birchbark letters have been discovered that it not only proves that the Rus have been literate even during their pagan days, but also that the amount of birchbark letters suggests that they even had some kind of a mail system established. The letters have been made not only by men but also women and even children
Thank you, very interesting Funny to hear you say, “the wealthy peasants” as my grandparents were peasants and never heard that connected with peasantry, although they seemed to have had enough My grandmother used to tell me fairytales when I was small.
Yes, there’s were peasants who were wealthier than others. You may have heard the term “kulak,” which Brittanica describes as “kulak, (Russian: “fist”), in Russian and Soviet history, a wealthy or prosperous peasant, generally characterized as one who owned a relatively large farm and several head of cattle and horses and who was financially capable of employing hired labour and leasing land. Before the Russian Revolution of 1917, the kulaks were major figures in the peasant villages. They often lent money, provided mortgages, and played central roles in the villages’ social and administrative affairs.”
The charm for love (for a particular person desiring) is black magic. For it not to be black magic one would list all the traits one wishes in a romantic partner and THEN that person appears. One cannot or should not ever name a particular. That is interfering with free will and has karm results. But before christianity was paganism......so this is a pagan charm.
Yeah, yeah there is. Keivan Rus is basically Russia’s (as a nation) ancestor. If you want proof, refer to the history of Novgorod. That used to be apart of Keivin Rus.
@@jonahulichny9874 Don't you see, even that what you've just written, is silly :) So you've just proved there's no relation between those two at all! ;) Of course apart from fact, that some far away part of later Moscow state (far from both Moscow and Kiev) used to be covered by the Kievan Rus centuries before it became ... part of Moscow state (yes, Moscow state, not Moscow Rus!!!)

You need a podcast. These talks would be great to listen to.
Thanks for the suggestion! Our speakers do use a lot of illustrations that are quite helpful, so that would be challenging to replicate in a podcast

There are many books about wooden art in Russian. In English it can be called Hilto Alison Ruusian Folk Art
Thanks!

Hmm, great, but why everybody mixes up Russia and Kievan Rus - there is no relations between them, at all!!!
