About the book From ancient temples to the whisper of herbs: Slavic myths in which the memory of ancestors comes to life. Why does the wolf act as a messenger of another world in our fairy tales, and the stork brings not only children? Where did the beliefs about pitchforks, mermaids and flowering ferns come from, and how did they transform into lines by Pushkin, Khlebnikov and modern authors? Behind the images that we used to consider "Slavic fantasy," there is a coherent, albeit fragmentary picture of the world of our ancestors. Candidate of Philological Sciences, Associate Professor at the Pushkin State Institute of the Russian Language and professional translator of Slavic languages Alexandra Matrusova invites the reader on a journey through the mythological atlas of the Slavic world. Based on the works of the classics of Slavic studies (O. N. Trubachev, N. I. Tolstoy, S. M. Tolstoy, V. N. Toporov, L. Niederle) and many years of experience working with original folklore and chronicle sources, the author carefully separates scientific reconstruction from armchair fictions and neo-pagan falsifications. The book consistently examines the pantheons of the southern, western and eastern Slavs, explores in detail the "lower mythology", as well as the magical properties of animals, herbs and sacred places. Written in warm, confidential language, the book combines academic rigor with a lively, almost conversational narrative. There is no dry theory here: only proven sources, vivid literary illustrations, author's translations of ritual songs in Slavic languages and understandable explanations of how ancient mythologems live in our speech, omens and culture today. It is a reliable compass in a sea of near-scientific legends and an honest conversation about what the Slavs really believed in. Alexandra Nikolaevna Matrusova is a candidate of Philological Sciences, associate professor at the Pushkin State Institute of the Russian Language, philologist, translator, writer. Born in Moscow in 1983, she entered the Pushkin Institute of the Russian Language in 2000. From 2006 to 2010, she worked in Serbia, in Belgrade, and taught Russian at Belgrade State University. Since 2011, he has been teaching Slavic philology, Serbian and other subjects at the Pushkin State Institute of the Russian Language. He is also a simultaneous interpreter: he works with English, Serbian and Croatian languages.
