Extractions: The South Slavic languagesSerbo-Croatian, Slovene, Bulgarian, and Macedoniandescend from Slavic dialects that were brought to the sub-Alpine and Balkan regions of southwestern Europe ca. 500 C.E. by waves of westward migration along and across the Danube, Drava, and Sava River systems. In their new territory, the South Slavs encountered and undoubtedly mixed with Latin-speaking peoples, probably descendants of older Indo-European-speaking peoples, such as Illyrian and Thracian. The exact relationships among the dialects at the time of settlement is uncertain, but we do know that there existed at that time no nascent Slovene, Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, or Bulgarian dialects. Rather, these formed over the subsequent millennium. The South Slavic group may now be defined by its geographical discontinuity to the remainder of the Slavic-speaking world. To the north, Slovene is bounded by Friulian and Italian in Italy, by German in Austria, and Hungarian in Hungary. Croatian and Serbian are also bounded by Hungarian as well as Romanian (Romania). Bulgarian is bounded by Romanian, and each is separated from Ukrainian by the Black Sea.

" " Are seized by enemies we may in Russia, but Svarog - the God ours, instead of other gods, and without Svarog we have no anything, except for death ". " The Veles book " The Slavic world is an endlesly fascinating, troubling, dramatic, and dynamic one. Slavic mythology has a strong focus on the sun, warmth, light, birds, fire (and firebirds), epic victories, and brightly painted cosmic bird-eggs. The opposing polarity, the dark, the dead, the cold, the gloomy forests, snakes, drowned spirits (usually female or children), and ruthless hags are feared, even demonized (especially under the influence of Christianity), yet many fairy tales indicate that if this darker world is treated with cautious respect, one will fare well. . . . PAGANISM Paganism is a religion of festival with an ethical component on how man should live in concert with nature and each other. By necessity, living provokes anxieties. Paganism is not a soteriological ("governed by a dogmatic code") religion, and therefore it could not reassure people by organizing their lives in this world on the pretext of securing salvation in the next. Pagans rejected the servile model as exemplified in the Religions of the Book (Christianity, Judaism, Islam).

84.02.01: Looking North Of The Greek World: The Slavic Folk Poetry Of The Balkan
Curriculum materials comparing ancient Greek and slavic folk poetry.
http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1984/2/84.02.01.x.html

Extractions: Henry J. Brajkovic A student might say, referring to the Iliad and the Odyssey; That kind of stuff they did then, nobody does it anymore! This paper is written to refute such a thought. Another student might wonder: Where could we find plain folks making up poems? Another might quip: As to reciting them, forget it! Yet, are there today any tribes or nations that have such a tradition? Where could we find an uninterrupted living tradition of uneducated people or persons with only an elementary education creating their own folk poetry? The answer is: in divided Macedonia. Most of Macedonia is located in the southernmost part of Yugoslavia. The remaining parts of Macedonia are in northern Greece, Bulgaria and Albania. The material in this paper could be used for the study of geography, ancient or medieval history, folk poetry, story-telling, or for a study about heroes. Therefore, it is usable in all grades and on all levels. Objectives Can one say that the spirit of creativity lives within each nation? Can one say that ordinary folks (distinguished from literary, educated writers and poets) make poetry that many accept? What is one to say about the lyrics of popular songs, for example, in the standard pop tunes, early rock, bluegrass and urban folk tunes, protest songs, etc. There seems to be a spirit at work among the people seeking an outlet through song. What about poetry readings? Isnt it true that people want to hear jokes, anecdotes or that children recite rhymes and riddles, passed on from generation to generation of children? Children teaching children: no adults involved!

Over the next 25 years, he was the outstanding ideologist, though not the most influential political leader of Menshevism. In Stockholm when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917, Axelrod elected to remain abroad, and died in exile. The material in the Axelrod Collection dates from 1878 to 1924 and consists of autographs of his published and unpublished articles, correspondence, including that with other leading politicians, and photographs.
