A new collaborative project by the leading artist of Vedica Rus and the author of the bestsellers "10 Thousand Years of Russian History," which has broken sales records. The long-awaited truth about the origins of the Russian people and the superhuman feats of our great ancestors—who trace their lineage back to pagan gods. The history of Ancient Rus, whose founder is considered to be Prince Rurik, is like the tip of an iceberg visible above the surface. But this is only 10% of a colossal block of ice—the greater part of it lies hidden beneath the water’s depths. So the Russian civilization is many times older than the Rus of chronicles, and the Russian people came to Slavic lands many thousands of years before Rurik. Where is our Primordial Homeland, and where did our ancestors come from—west, south, or north? How to find the secret source of Russian blood, where the Russian language comes from, in which snows and ice its native faith was tempered—so that even a thousand years of scorching iron could not burn it away? Natalia Pavlishcheva’s new book uncovers the mystery of Velesian Rus’ origins, and the mesmerizing paintings of Vsevolod Ivanov will open your eyes to the divine world of our ancestors.
