The mysteries of the Slavic past disturb not only our contemporaries. They have been the subject of significant scientific controversy throughout the 20th century. Scientists from all countries of the Slavic and non-Slavic worlds took part in the research, arguing about the Slavic historical heritage and criticizing opponents.

Scientists in a certain way competed in the search results, as well as in assessing the belonging of archaeological cultures to the Slavs or other peoples.
And although the assessments of such searches often do not coincide, they have one rational kernel, that which is indisputable in science.

In their conclusions, researchers from all countries invariably pointed to the basic lands of the ancient Slavs, their central part, in fact, to the place that was the most sacred and important place for the Slavs.

If you superimpose maps of archaeological cultures, Slavic burials, maps of historical hydrology, historical toponymy (from the end of the 1st millennium BC to the end of the 1st millennium AD), then the contours of such a historical center located in the Volyn-Carpathian region.

In this region, from Pripyat to the Carpathians, from the Vistula to the Dnieper, over the course of 1 thousand BC. - 1 millennium AD the signs of Slavism never disappeared, the living connection of the Proto-Slavic and Old Slavic cultures, leading the history of the Slavs to our times, did not disappear.
Here, in fact, the Slavs were born, as a kind of community, which appeared to the world with its own special culture and humane vision of the universe.

Many famous historians, archaeologists, linguists, ethnographers, philosophers from different European countries were engaged in the study of ancient Slavic history in Europe, the origin of Slavism, archaeological and historical interpretation of the process of Slav formation, among which: Rybakov, Sedov, Kobychev, Artamonov, Shakhmatov, Petrov, Shafarik, Niederle, Fasmer, Toporov, Trubachev, Tretyakov, Danilenko, Rusanova, Baran, Ler-Slavinsky, Kostshevsky, Lovmyansky, Werner, Godlovsky, Shchukin, Filin, Kozak, Terpilovsky, Braichevsky, Vinokur, Smilenko, Zhivka, Shimanski, Hensi, Hensi, Popovich, Sukhobokov, Fedorov and many others.

Maps, created by many scientists, clearly speak of one thing - the Volyn-Carpathian region played the most important role in the birth of European Slavism. It was the center of the formation and development of the Slavs.
But the stumbling block for most researchers remained, and remains, the question of identifying the force that stimulated the process of Slav formation, which gave him internal strength and ideological direction.
Photo 7. Early Slavs according to Sedov / from the book edited by B. Rybakov /
The lack of understanding of the nature of such a force leads the scientific world to rather simplified interpretations of the process of Slav formation.
The explanations boil down to the philistine level of a certain material interest of the early Slavs in hoarding, the desire for power, to the interpretation of the expansion of the Slavic area as a chain of seeding aggressive wars.
But was it really so? And who, in fact, are these mysterious early Slavs?

From the moment the science of the Proto-Slavic cultures of Europe was identified in the 3rd - 1st centuries. BC, the spot of Slavic settlement (area) on the maps of many scientists is constantly increasing, right up to the historically significant 7-8 centuries AD, when this, still unified and undivided area, grew to the maximum in size.
What is strange here is that some Slavic centers arise in distant territories, separated from the main nucleus - in the Balkans, on the island of Rugen-Ruyan, on the Volkhov, and much earlier than the general wave of "resettlement" of the Slavs penetrates there.
But why is it so? How can this happen at all?

An amazing fact is that the course of Slavization in the vast expanses is quite peaceful. There are almost no traces of lingering wars and signs of destruction of the local population.
The Veneds, Thracians, Balts, peoples between the Vistula and the Oder, under the influence of some strange factors, quite quickly (after 100-200 years) become Slavs.
Everything indicates that Slavization is not the result of mass migration of peoples, not a consequence of aggressive wars, but something else. But what?
Photo 10. Slavs across the Jordan / Gothic historian 6th century AD /
The answer can be very simple if you take into account that the process of Slavization could be a consistent spread of new attitudes, the movement of a new way of life, the reorganization of local communities according to the Slavic type.
We are talking about a world outlook transformation, familiarizing the local population with a different worldview as a result of the influence of an external (Old Slavic) factor!
But why did the local peoples want to become Slavs, moreover, definitely voluntarily, without violence and military? What motivated them to do this?

Explanations are given by the "Veles's book" - an ancient Slavic chronicle-volkhovnik of the 9th century AD.
She points out that for each Slav, the most important was the primordial earthly faith, the worldview of earthly forefathers who approved the bright life on Earth according to universal laws.
These laws, transmitted by the most ancient Forefathers to mankind, were carefully preserved and handed down by the ancient Slavs from generation to generation.
And so for tens of thousands of years !!!
Knowledge allowed the Slavic spiritual Fathers to have constant contact with the Creator of the Universe, Light Iriy (the governing power in the universe), and the Slavs to live a bright life, without aggression and war, slavery and humiliation, greed and money-grubbing, diseases and ailments.

The most ancient forefathers of mankind said - a bright person must believe in the Creator-Svarog, Bright Iriy, light forces, among which are the souls of the most ancient earthly ancestors.
He must live in Rule, know Rule, praise Rule (that is, be Orthodox).
A person with a bright soul (Slav) is the one who honors the forefather Slava (Slavian, Slav-Yanya), the one who cares about his enlightenment, is engaged in the dissemination of knowledge of the laws of Rule, Yavi, Navi (spiritual, explicit and after the explicit worlds), who honors the earthly spiritual ancestors.

The Slav must resist everything dark, occult, cruel, lonely and magical, associated with violence against the light and righteous (corresponding to the law of Rule).
He must distinguish between light and darkness, even if the darkness is hiding behind white veils (like magic, loneliness, Yahvetianism, pseudo-Slavism).
He should be free from the dark.
This gives an answer to why the ancient Slavs never tried to build states (unions) on the basis of slavery and cruelty. Why weren't they tempted by undeserved social elevation, meaningless material accumulation, greed and boasting.
The priorities of Slavic ancestors in the material world (in Java) are modesty in everything, reasonable self-sufficiency, respect for a bright soul, attention to personal spiritual growth, craving for the protection of all living things, rejection of materially excessive, fulfillment of the laws of the Creator-Svarog.

In addition, the Slav, as a person, was interested in the spiritual perspective, which was regulated in the Universe by the laws of Prav, Yavi, Navi.
It was the law of Rule that determined the possibility of repeated incarnation of the bright human soul in the manifest world.
This is reincarnation necessary for light souls (re-incarnation, successive rebirth in Java, pakibenie) - the road to the universal eternity of the soul.
Such a road demanded from those who wanted to follow it, spiritual growth, understanding of the essence of Slavism, reaching high irian levels, their own improvement, care for the spiritual education of children and grandchildren, who will then carry this to the next generations.

It is for this reason that the Slavs never captured anyone, did not enslave, forcibly resettled or exterminated the sprouts of the light.
They taught the laws of the Creator, defending the worldview of the earthly ancestors - the Aryan First Fathers and their entourage.
They spread a bright worldview in the name of spiritual brotherhood, sending to their neighbors special groups of confessors, experts in Prav, Yavi, Navi, those who were ready to carry the knowledge of the universe, to teach contact with the Creator and higher light forces.
They were looking for a common language with neighboring peoples - the language of the laws of Prav, Navi, Yavi, the laws of the Creator-Svarog, the language of spiritual understanding, the language of earthly ancestors.
The Slavs shared the highest spiritual knowledge with all light peoples, even if they temporarily (under the influence of occultism and magic) lost touch with the Rule and the Creator-Svarog.
Enlightenment helped the neighbors defeat the influence of dark forces and take the path of spiritual purification and growth, the path to the eternal soul.

The spiritual labors of the Slavic envoys, Starottsov-Rakhmanov and the Magi, gradually changed the understanding of the world among many peoples of Europe.
This knowledge gradually became familiar and intimate in the Slavic environment, for all who left the path of enlightenment.
The Spiritual Fathers of the Slavs put love, soul and ability to communicate with light forces into their activities.
They had healing, treatment of ailments, the science of spiritual hygiene, the ability to destroy the machinations of occultism and black magic.
People believed in the spiritual Fathers and followed them. They wanted to know more about their origins and be closer to the knowledge of the First Fathers of mankind, to an understanding of the universal role of man. They wanted to deserve initiation in the Slavs.

The activity of the Slavic confessors at that time was of a permanent nature and was based on the system of spiritual centers that they created in various regions of Europe.
The framework of the entire system was created in the 3rd-8th centuries AD. a system of spiritual centers: the Rakhman and Magi monasteries.
The main center in this system was the modest Peresopnitsa in Volyn, which operated in conjunction with the spiritual capital of the Slavs - Sourenzh (Surenzh).
Around Peresopnitsa and other centers of Europe in the 5-8 centuries A. D. about three hundred of the Magus monasteries arose!
The creators of such monasteries were actually those mysterious confessors (dews) that were discussed earlier. It was they who settled in small groups among the Wends, Balts, Thracians and other peoples, creating conditions for the process of enlightenment and Slavic education.
The system of spiritual centers created by them was that mysterious force that stirred up Europe in the 5-8 centuries AD. the rapid growth of the Slavic area.

Above is a selection of maps that are present in the writings of famous Soviet scientists (Rybakov, Sedov and others), as well as in numerous works of scientists from other countries.
Additionally, for ease of reading, they highlight the vastness of the Slavic area, or zones of Slavic influence (blue, yellow or blue).
The red oval shows the central part of the Volyn-Carpathian region, the holy places themselves, where the concentration of confessors (dews) was the highest (Roksolan, Roskolan).

The last two maps (mid-end of the 1st millennium AD) reflect the time when the Slavs reached their maximum boundaries, but have not yet begun to divide into parts (principality and country) under the pressure of ideological blows by adepts of occultism and magic, irreconcilable to the laws of the Creator.
The return of a part of the European peoples to a state of unenlightenment became possible as a result of the active struggle of external and internal forces against the centers of the Rachman-Magi system, first on the borders of the Slavic world, and then in its middle.
Such actions came from ideological forces hostile to the Slavs, hostile to the Slavic worldview, Byzantium, Khazaria, Franco-Germans, Vikings, Yakh-Yags, Varangians and others, especially in the period of the 8-13th centuries AD.
The conclusions that can be drawn from the presented material are as follows:
1. Slavic education is a process of spiritual enlightenment, training, knowledge of the light laws of Rule, Yavi, Navi, light rituals, by ancient European peoples who lost this knowledge as a result of aggressive penetration into Europe 3-1 thousand BC. adepts of black magic, carriers of Egyptian and Odinsky, and then, in the 1st millennium AD, and Yakhovsky occultism.
2. Enlightenment was of a peaceful nature and was carried out by the bearers of the knowledge of the Rule, the Old Fathers-Rahmans, the wise men, priests and confessors (dews), in the form of healing, spiritual help, constant teaching of peoples to the knowledge of the universal law, light spiritual rituals, reverence for the Light Iriy and his hierarchy.
3. The process of European enlightenment was carried out by the Rachman-Magus system of spiritual centers and sub-centers, which had a ramified structure and its own system of training spiritual cadres.

Nowadays we know too little about the Great Slavic ancestors, who by their labors created the greatest spiritual community of Europe, called the Slavs.
As a result, the concept of Slav has lost its original spiritual meaning and ceased to reflect the state of a bright person who has passed the path of enlightenment and initiation, who knows the laws of Rule, Reality, Navi, who rejects the occult and magic, who fights for the lordship of the soul, ready to serve the Creator-Svarog and Light Iriy.
Proceeding from this, the Slavs, as a spiritual community based on the laws of the Rule, after the destruction of the Rakhman-Magus system, no longer exists for more than three hundred years.
The system of spiritual enlightenment, which all Slavic peoples tried so hard to protect, also lost its strength.
So do we need now the knowledge of the spiritual greatness of the Slavic ancestors? Are we ready to accept as a baton all the precepts of the Forefathers?
The answer remains with us!
