Many of you have heard the tale of how Spartans took on the Persian army of virtually limitless size. Reality, however, is somewhat different from movies that are made to entertain the masses.

In reality, it is believed that Spartans joined forces with approximately 7, Greeks in order to hold back the Persian army of approximately , to , strong which could seem as if a limitless force. Very few of you, however, heard the story of Slavs Russians take on the force of 40, Persians.

This battle did not take place in a narrow canyon; it did not take place in ancient history; and this battle was not fought with spears and swords. This tale is of the military campaign of Colonel Karyagin and his 17th Ranger Regiment against the Persians in Let me start at the beginning. In , the Russian Empire was engaged in war with France and was suffering from many defeats.

Even the great military genius Kutuzov could not help the situation. Meanwhile, in southern Russia, the Persian BabaKhan was reading the summary of our European defeats with joy, and an idea was born.

Baba-Khan again went against the Russian Empire, hoping to pay back for the destruction of the previous year - Therefore, learning that the town of Shusha the current town of Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan , where Major Lisanevich with 6 companies of rangers was located, was being approached by a 40, Persian army under the command of the Crown Prince Abbas Mirza, knyaz Tsitsianov sent all the aid that he could send - all soldiers with officers and weapons: hero Karyagin, hero Kotlyarevskiy and Slavic warrior Spirit.

Before they ever reached the town of Shusha, they were attacked by Persians in route, by the river Shah Bulakh on June 24th. The Persian vanguard of 10, soldiers. Without being confused, Karyagin dug in his regiment in a square formation, and for the entire day reflected the fruitless attacks of the Persian cavalry, while Persians were ruthlessly massacred. Then he marched for 14 more kilometers and stood as a fortified camp, when the line of defense was built from supply wagons.

The Persians continued their attacks in the evening and fruitlessly stormed the camp until nightfall, eventually having to stop in order to clear piles of Persian bodies, for funerals, to weep and to write postcards to the families of those who fell in battle. Russian response was of gorilla tactics. They made their way to the Persian artillery and blew it up, throwing the remains of the cannons into the river.

However, the situation was not saved. After battling for another day, Karyagin began to suspect that he cannot kill all of the Persian army. In addition, problems began inside the camp: Lieutenant Lysenko and six traitors defected to the Persians; the next day, 19 or so more soldiers joined them.

Thus, our losses from the cowardly pacifists began to exceed the losses from inept Persian attacks. Again: thirst, heat, bullets … and approximately 40, Persians.

The only problem, there were still tens of thousands of guards. It was decided to push through the Persian forces. It led to the chase, shootout, another chase. Finally, our soldiers were able to break away from the Persians in the dark Caucasian forest. Then, they finally came out to the fortress, named after the nearby river - Shah Bulakh.

Do you really want to try it? The Persian garrison understood the hint and fled. In the process, two Khans were killed, and the Russians were able to fix the gates just in time, before the main Persian forces arrived. But it was not the end. It was not even the beginning of the end.

After inventorying the remaining supplies in the fortress, it was discovered that there was no food. The wagon with food had to be abandoned during the break through of the encirclement, so there was nothing to eat. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely nothing to eat!!! Karyagin addressed his soldiers. Of the , were left.

Nearly all soldiers were wounded, dehydrated, exhausted and in the utmost degree of fatigue. Cannonballs and cartridges were ending. In addition to everything, the heir to the throne of Persia, Abbas Mirza, sat right in front of their gate and repeatedly tried to take them by storm. You will not die. I, Colonel Karyagin, forbid you to die. I order you to gather all the nerve which you have, because tonight we leave the fortress and invade another fortress, which we will again take by storm, with all of the Persian army on our shoulders.

On July 7th at hours, Karyagin left the fortress in order to storm another, an even bigger fortress. It is important to understand, that by July 7th it was day 13 of the endless battle. With cannons, wagons full of wounded, it was not a walk with backpacks, but a large and heavy movement.

Karyagin slipped out of the fortress as a night ghost, and even the soldiers left as guards were able to slip away from the Persians and catch up with own forces, even though they already prepared to die, realizing the absolute lethality of their objective. As they moved through the darkness, gloom, pain, hunger and thirst, the detachment of Slavic Russian soldiers encountered a ditch, through which it was impossible to move the cannons; and without cannons, the assault of the next fortress, the even better fortified fortress Muhraty, had no meaning, no chance.

There was no forest nearby to fill the ditch. The Persians could catch up at any moment. Four Slavic soldiers one of them was Gavrila Sidorov quietly jumped into the ditch.

They laid down as logs; without bravado, without arguments, without anything. They jumped down and laid down. The heavy cannons went right over them. Only two rose up from the ditch. On July 8th, the squad entered Kasapet. For the first time in many days, they ate and drank normally and moved on to the fortress of Muhrat.

Three miles from the fortress, the squad of just over a hundred men was attacked by several thousand of Persian horsemen, who managed to make their way to the cannons and capture them.

In vain. The wagons were splashed with red, this time Persian. It rained and flooded the wagons, and the ground around the wagons, and carts and uniforms and rifles, and sabers. It rained, and rained, and rained up until Persians fled in panic, not being able to break the resistance of our hundred.

Muhrat was seized easily, and the next day,. The Persians are by the river Tartar. On July 15th, knyaz Tsitsianov broke and drove the Persians away, and then joined with the remnants of the detachment of Colonel Karyagin. Colonel Karyagin received a golden sword for this campaign; all the officers and soldiers received awards and salary; Gavrila Sidorov who silently laid down in the ditch received a monument at the headquarters of the regiment. The Ritual of Naming When does a child turn into a grown up and begins to be responsible for own actions?

According to most, adulthood begins when a child reaches the legal age and receives a passport. Our Slavic and Aryan Ancestors had it very differently. The name, which was given to a child shortly after birth, served as a name only for the first several years.

Also, before a certain age, for our Ancestors there was no distinction between genders. Only later, when a child was able to take responsibility for own actions before that parents were responsible for all actions of a child , a child became an adult and there was a distinction between genders. The ritual of transfer from childhood into adulthood was called the ritual of Naming. The ritual of Naming took place at the age of nine for a child that displayed mystical abilities, at the age of twelve for all children who displayed warrior abilities, and at the age of sixteen for all children who displayed love for peaceful labor.

From the name of the ritual itself, it can be seen that a name was given to a child or children who went through this ritual. This ritual was of utmost importance for our Ancestors, for a name is not only the Fate of a human, but is also his keepsake.

The priest also entered this trance, in order to be able to help the child understand what he saw; his purpose was that of a guide. Truth was revealed at the end of this journey. The child was given two names: a communal name and a secret name which was known only to the child, the priest and sometimes to the parent of opposite gender. The communal name became his personal name, which was used in his community for the rest of his life.

It was not rare for miracles to happen during such a ritual, but the result was always the same - the learned names helped to determine the Fate and the Purpose of the human. The ritual of Naming was one of the most important steps in the lives of our Ancestors. Natural or Not? There are many structures on our Earth, which raise many questions. Most of all, structures that are said to be of natural formation, yet appear to be of artificial origin and cannot be explained by science.

More than that, the origins of their creation as put forth by science cannot even be called hypothesis, or even a theory. The statements put forth by science are nothing more than a best guess, a version at best.

As can be seen even in this photograph, this formation is of magmatic origin. Each year, thousands of tourists and mountain climbers visit this location. Such is the nature of man, he is drawn to what he cannot explain. The formation is made up of dark-red sandstone and siltstone shale layers. Immediately, any reasonable. It is not even granite recrystallized from sandstone rock.

There is not a single word of that in the official version. At the foundation, these tubes are bent, as if spreading outward and to the sides as if under the influence of gravity. Very strange. At the foot of the cliff, there are many smaller segments, that fell off from the formation. I went a step further and asked several individuals without telling them anything of the structure as to how they think the following structure formed.

In any case, I will leave for you to decide, whether this structure is of natural origin, or if it was made by an advanced civilization or culture as a biproduct of mining perhaps hundreds of millions of years ago.

Masleevskie Poles in Krasnoyarsk Do not confuse the tradition of using different kinds of fermentation in baked goods to using dry yeast, which usually comes prepackaged. So why did many people around the world switch to dry yeast for all of their baking needs? The answer to that is easy - convenience;. In this article, you will find five different recipes for creating a leaven for sourdough breads without yeast.

These are recipes for leaven only, and before baking, leaven should be turned into dough. The recipe of a dough for baking bread is a very individual thing. Before baking the bread, let it rise in a warm place for at least 2 hours. I prefer to leave overnight. Step 2 - Day 2: I usually do this step in the morning. Check the mixture; sourdough bubbles should appear. If there are few of them, do not worry. Again, add g. Once again, leave it in a warm place.

It is suggested to leave overnight, but if you do this step in the morning, you can do step 3 in the evening again hours.

Step 3 - Repeat step 2. After the mixture stood for hours, it is ready for use. It is good to begin Place the mixture in a jar, cover with a cloth and put in warm place. Step 2 - Day 2: Strain the mixture, add 4 tbsp of flour and warm water until the mixture is thickened to the consistency of sour cream, again put in a warm place. Step 3 - Day 3: The leaven is ready. Separate the mixture into two halves: to one half add 4 tbsp of flour and water until mixture is of sour cream consistency ; use the second half for making dough and baking bread.

Step 2: This step is to be done as soon as the grain has sprouted. Grind the sprouted grain, mix with 2 tbsp of rye flour and with 1 tsp of sugar or honey.

Put the mixture in a warm place overnight. Step 3: The mixture can now be divided. One half mix with flour and water and place in the refrigerator. The other half can be used for the preparation of sourdough. Recipe 4 - Kefir Leaven Take yogurt or old kefir preferably homemade , age it several days until bubbling and water separation, and odor, which is consistent with sour kefir or yogurt. Add rye flour until the consistency of liquid sour cream. Stir well and cover with a gauze and leave for a day.

The leaven will begin to actively sour, it may even sour excessively. After a day, add rye flour to the consistency of the dough for pancakes, stir thoroughly. Again, cover and do not touch until the mixture matures. It takes several hours, but the leaven will begin to actively bubble and rise. During this active state, it is to be added to the dough.

Recipe 5 - Hop Leaven Step 1 - Day 1: In the evening, fill the thermos with 1 tbsp of dry hop cones and 1 cup boiling water. Close the thermos and leave until morning. Step 2 - Day 2: Strain the infusion into a 2-liter jar, add 1 tbsp of sugar or honey, stir well, add the rye flour to the consistency of thick cream.

Put in a warm place and cover the jar with a cloth. Step 3 - Day 3: The leaven will become liquid and foamy, the scent may be unpleasant. Add flour until the consistency of thick sour cream, cover and put in a warm place. Step 5 - Day 5: Repeat step 4. Step 6 - Day 6: Use part of the leaven for the preparation of sourdough.

To the rest of the leaven add flour and water until thick sour cream consistency and place in the refrigerator. As you can see from the recipes above, it does take quite a bit of effort before the much desired result can be achieved. The good news - a skillful baker has to prepare leaven only once, for leaven can be constantly separated: part is used in the preparation of the sourdough and part is increased in volume by adding flour and water and is left in the fridge until next time.

Have fun with it! And one last advice - It is important to start baking homemade bread in a good mood! If you examine the data from around the world in regards to life expectancy, expect to find a drastic increase in life expectancy in the past years. On average, according to official sources, the average life expectancy has approximately doubled for most countries around the world. And if we are to believe the official sources, we should be thankful to our governments, scientists and so on for living as long as we do.

But really, who are we kidding?! To believe official sources is to only fool yourself! I always say, if in doubt … ask your Elders.

So, I did! I came to find out, that in my own family, as little as several generations back, ALL, I repeat - ALL lived to past one hundred years old, unless of In the past year, fate brought me to Lake Baykal from Buryatia. I am a hydrographer, and we worked on the river Barguzin. Almost untouched Nature, cleanest air, good simple people - everything fascinated us. At first, we could not understand what it is.

Then, we were told that they are followers of the Old Faith. These families live as separate settlements, and they have very strict customs. Women, to this day, wear long dresses to their heels; and men wear kosovorotkas long shirts. These are very calm and friendly people, but they behave in such a way, that you will not approach them unless necessary.

They do not waste energy on empty talks, we never saw this. These are very hard-working people, who will never sit down idly. At first, all of this stressed us, but then we got used to it. Later, we noticed that they were all healthy and beautiful, even the elderly. Our work took place just on the territory of their settlement, and so we would disturb the residents as little as possible, we were given one grandfather, Vasily Stepanovich, as an aide.

He helped us to take measurements; it was very convenient for us and for the residents. In a month and a half of work, we became friends with him, and that grandfather told us many interesting things, he even showed us. Of course, we also talked about health. Stepanych said it more than once, that all diseases are from the head.

Once I clung to him with and required explanation of what he meant by this. He said, that if a person has strong smelling feet, than his strongest desire is to postpone all of his business until later, to finish everything tomorrow or even later.

He then added, that it is not necessary to explain anything to him, but rather to honestly answer to yourself, if it is so or not. This magazines features articles on different rituals, events in Slavic heritage and many different aspects of Slavic life. Rodnoverie was one of the first new religious movements to emerge following the collapse of the Soviet Union, its development providing an important lens through which to view changes in post-Soviet religious and political life.

Rodnovers view social and political issues as inseparably linked to their religiosity but do not reflect the liberal values dominant among Western Pagans. Indeed, among the conservative and nationalist movements often associated with Rodnoverie in Russia, traditional anti-Western and anti-Semitic rhetoric has recently been overshadowed by anti-Islam and anti-migrant tendencies. Providing a fascinating overview of the history, organisations, adherents, beliefs and practices of Rodnoverie this book presents several different narratives; as a revival of the native Russian or Slavic religion, as a nature religion and as an alternative to modern values and lifestyles.

Drawing upon primary sources, documents and books this analysis is supplemented with extensive fieldwork carried out among Rodnoverie communities in Russia and will be of interest to scholars of post-Soviet society, new religious movements and contemporary Paganism in general. This book of The Slavic Way series features many tales of Slavic heritage, old and new.

Open this book and discover the Slavic heritage that has been hidden from Slavic people for many years. The resurgence of religiosity in post-communist Europe has been widely noted, but the full spectrum of religious practice in the diverse countries of Central and Eastern Europe has been effectively hidden behind the region's range of languages and cultures.

This volume presents an overview of one of the most notable developments in the region, the rise of Pagan and "Native Faith" movements.
