41. Scythian/Sarmatian Influence On Slavonic Mythology And Decorative Art By Sergei has a direct relationship to the goddess Tabiti known as Makosh' (Mokosh'), BabaYaga(the old woman Yaga), Rozhanitsa in the russian mythology and fairy-tales http://public.kubsu.ru/~usr02898/sl37r.htm

English version Here I study Scythian/Sarmatian inscriptions which shed new light upon the Slavonic pagan mythology and plots presented in the Slavonic decorative art. 1. First of all, one can decode several Scythian/Sarmatian texts relying on the readings of syllables of Linear A (B) (Rjabchikov 2000a). Let us examine a Sarmatian record on a vessel (4th century B.C.) discovered in a Sarmatian (Sauromatian) barrow in the neighbourhood with Volgodonsk, Rostov-on-Don Territory, Russia (Moshkova 1977: 211, figure 1a). Here the two zigzags (thunder/lightning signs) are inscribed. Sign pa and a rhomb ( ay ) give the name Pai Papai ) of the sky god of the Scythians and Sarmatians (Rjabchikov 2001a). Now one can study the second fragment of the record (Moshkova 1977: 211, figure 1b). Three crosses (signs ay 'life') (1) are inscribed above a horizontal line (the earth). Above them the sign of the sun with sign ta , seven (initially eight?) dots, and the sign of the crescent with the word tama are presented. The word

42. On The Sarmatian Feast Kolyda By Sergei V. Rjabchikov - English The Scythian and Sarmatian Sources of the russian mythology and FairyTales.AnthroGlobe Journal http//anthro-globe.com/bin/artdetail.cgi?ID=26. http://public.kubsu.ru/~usr02898/sl40.htm

Russian version ON THE SARMATIAN FEAST KOLYADA by Sergei V. Rjabchikov One can decode the record on a fragment of a vessel discovered at Malaya Zemlya near Novorossisk (the Krasnodar Territory, Russia) (Onayko 1970: 75, figure 30 [5]), see figure 1. Figure 1. This Scythian/Sarmatian text reads ga (ka) bera (bela) 'the bull/cow - the bear', cf. Old Indian go 'bull; cow', bhalla 'bear', Russian berloga 'lair', German 'bear', English bear Let us examine the Kerch slab from the ancient town Panticapeum, the capital of the Bosporan kingdom (modern Kerch, the Crimea, Ukraine), now it is in the Kerch Museum of local lore. Some Sarmatian signs depicted on this slab (Drachuk 1975: table XXXV) are presented in figures 2 and 3. Figure 2. Figure 3. One can distinguish several words in figure 2. First of all, the names read Tabe Ma '(the sun/fire goddess) Tabiti Makosh' ', and according to my theory, the Russian fairy-tale personage Baba-Yaga (the old woman Yaga ) and mythological personage Makosh' are equal to the Scythian/Sarmatian goddess Tabiti (Rjabchikov 2001). The words

49. NewsletterTeam-I June 16 interviews with villagers about russian mythology in Kostyri and othernearby villages. June 17 - recording of folklore songs from Kostyri chorus. http://www.russianexpedition.net/team_I.htm

Team I, June 12-24, 2003 W e plan to conduct an expedition in the research area, before beginning the fieldwork with our volunteers. We are going to record using video and audio our current list of performers who have a rich folklore repertory. Since these performers are elderly, we cannot count on their participation each year. That is why we may substitute some villages on our itineraries for others. However, the area will always remain the same. The work of this team will be mainly focused on two basic programs: 1) Russian mythological stories (house and nature spirits) 2) Rituals: Whit Saturday (June 14), Whit Sunday (June 15) and Fasting Day (June 22) Whit Saturday (June 14) is dedicated to all of the deceased. People go with their children to their local cemetery. They sit near or on their relatives’ grave, which serve as tables with food and drink. Sharing this funeral repast symbolically unites the entire family including deceased relatives. You will have a unique chance to listen to the ancient lamentations. Whit Sunday (June 15 - the seventh Sunday after the Orthodox Easter ) is one of the merriest folk holidays. Many local versions of this rite still exist. The most interesting is the following; on Whit Sunday in the afternoon women go into the forest. There they make wreaths of birch branches, which they place on their heads. One or two women cut a young birch and form a woman's body out of it. Then women put a festive costume onto this birch “woman's body”. This doll is a personification of the erotic nature of women. Then the villagers carry this ritual doll to the nearest river, while signing special ritual songs (usually of erotic content). Next they stop near the river and sing short songs (in Russian called

Free Web site hosting - Freeservers.com NEWSLETTER of the Slavic Interest Group 10 January, AS XXXI (1997) Volume II, Issue 2 (#5) From the Nachalnik Greetings all! The first thing of importance is to note that my address has changed. The new address is: Paul Goldschmidt, 755 Siemers, Platteville WI 53818. Phone and e-mail remain unchanged. And this musing brings two very different thoughts to my mind. One, the importance of being careful with our jests and humor. And two, the sheer miracle of having a group that supports and encourages all Slavic cultures. SIG is a panslavist's idea of paradise þ a place where we can explore common threads that tie all of the Slavic cultures (and their non-Slavic neighbors) together. I challenge all of you to look for these commonalities and not to simply reject others' activities as "that's Polish, and I do Hungarian" or "why can't we have a group just for Russian personae?!" Finally, we are now up to a membership of 88 people and have grown exponentially in activity. The fruit of this growth is this much larger newsletter which features four articles written by our members. The downside is that increasing expense is forcing me to prune the mailing list. I have enclosed a corrections and confirmation form at the end of this Newsletter. Please fill this out and send it to me (or copy the information to me by e-mail) as soon as you can. Also, if you do not need to receive the newsletter in hard copy but would still like to be a member, now is your chance to indicate such. My special thanks to Leszek z Szczytna for his generous monetary contribution this month which is underwriting a portion of the expense of the mailing.

Even throughout the nineteenth century, certain creatures were believed to have magic powers, gods and sub-gods roamed the forests, streams, and fields of rural Russia. Thanks to Russian mythology, today we have unique, magical fairy tales such as the Frog Princess. The scene depicted on this box is at the beginning of the tale. The Tsar has decided that it is time for his three sons to get married. He calls them together, telling them each to shoot their arrows, and whichever maiden their arrows should land by will be their bride. The eldest son draws back his bow, shoots his arrow, and it lands next to a nobleman's daughter. The middle son then draws back his bow, shoots his arrow, and it lands by a merchant's daughter. The youngest son, Ivan Tsarevich draws back his bow, shoots his arrow, and it flies off into a swamp. To Ivan's surprise and dismay, his arrow has landed next to a frog!

In the icon-style composition painted on this box, Sadko has descended into the undersea world of Tsar Morskoi, as a live sacrifice to save his stranded ship. Sadko falls to the bottom of the sea and finds himself in the palace of Tsar Morskoi. The King and Queen of the Sea have heard about Sadko's musical talents and ask him to play and to sing for them. They are overjoyed by his music, and decide to keep Sadko in their Sea Tsardom, to be their daughter's bride. But Sadko tells their daughter, Volkhova, that he can't marry her, as he is in love with his wife, Lubava. Volkhova understands that Sadko's devotion to his wife is too strong to be swayed, so she helps him to sneak away, back to Novgorod. Still amorous of Sadko, Volkhova tenderly kisses Sadko 'goodbye' and turns into the river Volkhova which flows from Lake Ilmen to the sea. The famous Russian poet Alexander Pushkin also wrote a famous rendition of this fairy tale. This excerpt from Pushkin's poem Sadko illustrates the last moments before our hero sacrifices himself to Tsar Morskoi (Sea King).

Index Individuals Group / Teams Alien Races Miscellaneous ... Back Information Supreme Soviets The Supreme Soviets are a Soviet team of costumed champions who operate under the supervision of the Special Powers Committee of the government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The team's membership consists of the fifth Crimson Dynamo; Fantasia; Perun the storm god of Russian mythology; the third Red Guardian; and the android Sputnik. The origins of the individual members of the Supreme Soviets have not yet been discovered. The current Dynamo, Dmitri Bykharin, is the fifth man to be known by that code name, and joined the Supreme Soviets after being expelled from another team, the Soviet Super-Soldiers. The third Red Guardian is the successor to the original Soviet operative by that name, Alexi Shostakov, who is now deceased. The second Red Guardian, Dr. Tania Belinskaya, was actually a vigilante operating without the approval of the Soviet government. Apparently, the gods of Russian mythology are actual superhuman beings, presumably from another dimension, like the gods of Egyptian, Greek, and Norse mythology. The circumstances by which the gods, Perun, came to work for the Soviet government have yet to be disclosed. In their first documented mission, the Supreme Soviets went to Avenger Island to punish the Soviet Super-Soldiers for their attempted defection, Fantasia used her ability to cast illusions to disguise the Red Guardian, Perun, the Crimson Dynamo, and Sputnik as the Avengers Captain America, Thor Iron Man and the Vision, respectively. Fantasia used her power to render herself as an invisible onlooker to the ensuing battle. Thus, disguised, the Red Guardian challenged the Super-Soldiers to combat against himself and his fellow Avengers to test the Super-Soldiers' superhuman abilities. Battling ruthlessly agains their unsuspecting opponents, the Supreme Soviets defeated the Super-Soldiers, leaving all three in critical condition. The Supreme Soviets then departed, believing the Avengers would be blamed for what had happened to the Super-Soldiers.
