Russian youngpagan discourse in the pentalogy"Night of Svarog"
One of the most actively developing genres of modern literature, actively used by the modern pagan community in Russia, and having a significant impact on the spread of this worldview, should be recognized as the genre of Slavic heroic fantasy. This article, based on the study of the pentalogy «Night of Svarog», examines the key elements of the newpagan discourse. As a result of the analysis of the content of the cycle of V.I. Sakharov, comparing the author's fantasy loci with the characteristics of subjects contained in program statements, utopian projects of the ideologists of Russian paganism of the 20th-21st centuries, it was established that the basic components of modern nativism include: firstly, the construction of one's own chronology and cosmogony, rejection of official history, life in the realities of the modern world and, as a result, the projection of their own history and a tendency to escapism. Secondly, a stable, pronounced rejection of extra-pagan religiosity (in this case, Christianity), multiplied by the «national» factor and conspiracy theories. Third, the idealization of the magician estate and the caste of professional warriors within the framework of the projections of building a theocratic ethno-oriented state.
