Everyday Life of Pagan Rus

Is it possible to restore in detail the everyday life of the inhabitants of Russian lands during the pre-Christian era? To reconstruct their mindset, to learn how they perceived the surrounding reality, and why they acted in one way or another in various life situations? After all, there are almost no sources left that narrate this. The author of the book finds a way to solve this seemingly impossible task by searching for echoes of pagan views in folk perceptions, in customs and rituals that have been preserved by Russians up to the 20th century, as well as attracting other materials, including archaeological ones.
