Information About

Slavic Neopaganism




In Poland , Jan Stachniuk (born 1905) founded the pagan magazine "Zadruga" in 1937 . A group of former members of "Zadruga" lives now in Wrocław and publishes a series of books on paganism in their own publishing house "Toporzel". One of members of this group is Antoni Wacyk.

A neopagan group influenced by "Zadruga", "Association of Indigenous Faith", has been founded in Wrocław by a right-wing pagan Jerzy Potrzebowski.

The legacy of "Zadruga" can be also found in the journal "Zywiol" appearing in Warsaw. Its editor, Andrzej Wylotek, belongs to the nationalist brand of paganism, claims to be close to the ideas of the French New Right with Alain De Benoist and is active on the political scene as a member of a nationalist party "Social-National Union".

In Ukraine , Volodimir Shayan (born 1908) in 1934 he experienced a religious illumination on Grekhit Mountain in the Carpathians . He emigrated to London after WWII, where he lived until his death in 1974. His influence is tangible in the contemporary Ukrainian neopagan groups. The "Union of Ukrainian Indigenous Faithful" is the largest neopagan association in the Ukraine, with chapters in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa, Borispol, Chernigov, Mikolaev, Lvov and Yuzhnoukrainsk. The Kiev Group of Ukrainian Pagans "Pravoslav'ya" publishes a magazine called " Svarog "
