Khors, 2015 - oil on canvas.
— Andrey Alekseyevich Shishkin (Russia, 1960).
According to the most widespread and reliable theory, Khors was the East Slavic god of the moon, equal in importance to Perun and Veles.

Comments on videos of ruzzian centric history (aka propaganda): Rus is Russia. Great russian history! Russian culture is so long and beautiful. Honestly russians have so much to be proud of.
Comments on videos which correctly recognize Rus as Ukraine, using Ukrainian spelling: Kiev. Ummm actually you can't say (insert ancient Ukrainian person) is Ukrainian, they are actually just Slavic or Ruthenian or Russian. You can't insert modern day politics into this. Russians and Ukrainians didn't exist back then! They were just slavs! Back then they were just russians. You don't know history! Rus is modern day Russia! Kiev. Kiev. Actually they are Russian in the ancient way and not modern way because that's what they were called. Ugh Ukrainians always have to remind us that Rus is Ukrainian.
How come this shit only happens on Ukrainian posts? On ruzzian posts that steal Ukrainian history and push propaganda, people are at awe at what they say. Posts that are factually correct and use Ukrainian spellings and mention Ukraine, suddenly people have a balanced view of history where the predecessor isn't only Ukraine (cough cough yes it is cough cough). This is just a very clear reminder of how people still hate Ukrainians and would prefer ruzzian propaganda over reality.
Also, if you wanna refer to Ancient Ukrainians and Belarusian properly then say Rusians. One s to separate them from modern day russians. It has ALWAYS been spelled with one s, until moscovites stole the name Rus and spelled it with two s's.

For the emoji askssss
🐛🐈⬛🦋
Hi Aki! I see it's a revenge for my weird ass emojis /lh Here's the ask game
🐛 – I had to think about this one for a good while... I think Xióng Yǒu would work? The guy just wants to live quietly in his little house but things just keep happening to him. I bet a tiny bug also doesn't ask for any attention and still has to deal with dumb teenagers poking it with sticks or something like that
🐈⬛ – I'll go with Rú Sàizhuàn. She's the head of Rú clan and the Rú city, briefly mentioned in a short story Brutal as "that old ungrateful bitch" lol. She's a separatist, slowly building the city's wealth and military force to make her dream of Rú country come true. That's why a black cat going away in an unknown direction reminds me of her!
🦋 – Oh, that's so Dū Huìjiàn!! Works on multiple levels for her. One, she managed to escape the cocoon of her abusive family and become a flourishing butterfly under Dài Zhūdiān's care. Two, she had to take from multiple martial arts schools to kinda make her own fighting style, which reminds me of butterfly flying from a flower to flower. Lastly, butterfly is sometimes used as a symbol for trans people and she's a trans woman! Butterfly icon haha

Dante's name is Dusia or Dania (yes the first one sounds like dussy-) and Guido is Glieb :D
Virgil is Vavila (probably shouldve made him old but i need a gusliar bard twink from ancient rus) and Beatrice is Viera
Gemma is Euhienia + bonus little dantino (dushen'ka :з) ina big ass papaha.
of course dante would wear a freaking papaha.
#not satisfied with these because virgil and beatrice look like they are from the 8th century#gemmas from 15th#and dante and guido are like from degraded 18th century/#dante alighieri#divine comedy#the divine comedy#dante#la divina commedia#virgil#vergil#beatrice#guido cavalcanti#gemma donati#au#alternate universe#ancient rus#russian history#russian tag#la divina comedia#divina commedia#ancient rus au

Knyaz Igor and his retinue swear before the idol of Perun, laying down their weapons. Illustration by artist V.P. Vereshchagin from the album "History of the Russian State in images of its rulers with a brief explanatory text", 1896.
In addition to Perun's control over the thunderstorm because of his association with rain, he was responsible for crops by bringing rain to the fields, and so Perun was thought of as the god of fertility. Manipulation of the thunderstorm gave the deity a "thunderous character", which served to second-guess him as a god of war, as reflected in the oaths of arms in his name and his depiction as the patron of warriors, knyazs power and the Rurikovich dynasty.

one of my favorite parts of strategy games like chess and advance wars is that feeling when you haven't quite won yet but the enemy has no real options so it feels like you're just sloowly wrapping around them like a snake. when all your enemy has is their king and you've managed to turn 3 of your pawns into queens, and all you've gotta do is get in juust the right position, and in the meantime all they can do is squirm. god, that's such a wonderful feeling. nothing quite like it
#incidentally i don't like it when versions of chess insist on enforcing a stalemate rule#honestly to a certain extent i feel like if your enemy has nothing but a king and you've got more than one queen that should just be an#automatic win. like exodia except instead of the individual pieces being useless they're all the most powerful monster card in the game#i think the favorite card i had as a kid was my five headed dragon. thought that shit was so cool. 5000 in both attack and defense???#it seemed unbeatable to my little kid brain. also it was a dragon. of course i loved it#i never learned how to Actually play yugioh of course. just what rules my stupid kid reading comprehension could understand#im pretty sure a monster has to be in play for you to be able to sacrifice it. i didn't know that so i filled my deck with nothing but#really strong monsters and i'd just sacrifice some directly from my hand to summon what i wanted#i stole a lot of yugioh cards as a kid from target. i'm comfortable saying this online because the statute of limitations has absolutely ru#out by now. i looked it up.#i remember for the first time i stole a box set that had exodia. i remember on my way home so i could open it... i genuinely felt like ther#was something mystical in that box. something ancient. there was something really special about that to my kid brain#i'd later steal quite a few more because i got the bright idea to fill a deck with nothing but exodia cards. i figured i'd always have a#first draw win. took me until actually trying to play it that i realized i'd often just get 5 left arms which obviously wouldn't work#so i took that deck and added some actual monsters to “hold me off”. it was pretty much just a normal deck with too much space taken up by#essentially useless cards. i don't think i ever actually won by drawing exodia naturally. what a shame#side note but i still get a bit anxious every time i go to that target. i haven't in years and i can basically guarantee they wouldn't#recognize Grown Ass Adult me as “that kid who stole a lot of yugioh cards”. it's been almost a decade if memory serves#i've grown a lot since then. both physically and metaphorically#i digress

An Ancient Cave Complex Discovered in Kyiv
Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at Kyiv’s Center for Urban Development, told Radio Kultura that the caves were discovered next to a demolished house that Kyiv housing authorities had deemed unsafe for habitation.
Actually, Dmytro Perov followed his grandmother’s clues. Perov’s grandmother used to talk about a large stone house next to an old cave, but no one knew its location of it. According to Perov, who had previously examined the area several times, only the front facia of the house remained, concealed by bushes.
The conservationist told reporters that he and his friends decided to go to the old house “on a small expedition to look for caves,” and they discovered an entrance. The first archaeological explorations in the Voznesensky Caves were carried out by Perov and a group of researchers from the Institute of Archaeology last Saturday. Timur Bobrovskyi, an archaeology professor at the Sofia Kyivska reserve, said he was “amazed that such a treasure was found in the center of Kyiv” after spending three hours exploring the cave.
The team discovered pottery fragments from the Late Kyivan Rus’ era, an Eastern and Northern European state that existed from the late ninth to the middle of the thirteenth century, in the cave’s northern section.
Perov wrote on Facebook that the team scoured around 40 meters (131 feet) of caves, including the lower cave complex, which he claims is twice as long as the upper passage and has a series of “radial branches.” The most significant discovery, according to Petrov, was “a set of Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian symbols from the Early Rus period,” when the region was under the control of Varangian rulers.
While more investigation is required to confirm it, according to Dmytro Perov, they think that some of the carved symbols may date all the way back to the fifth or sixth centuries BC. He says that “animistic images of animals and graffiti” from the Varyaz period, including the rune Algiz (“chicken’s foot”), were also discovered on the walls. This was an ancient Varangian charm, a symbol of safety and longevity.
Several Hellenic Greek colonies were established on the northern coast of the Black Sea, on the Crimean Peninsula, and along the Sea of Azov between the 7th and 6th centuries BC. The steppe hinterland was occupied by the Cimmerians, Scythians, and Sarmatians who traded with the Greek/Roman colonies after a period of control by the Roman empire during the first millennium BC.
Rurik, a Varangian or Viking prince, established the Kyivan state in the latter part of the ninth century. Up until the 13th century, his descendants established and controlled a global trade route to the west. However, the Kyivan state was made up of East Slavic, Norse, and Finnic peoples, making it difficult to determine who left the carved symbols on the cave walls.

☀Windows made of mica | Ancient Rus' | XVII century
How were windows "glazed"? Bull's bladder and mica
As for the materials, for "glazing" they chose what was at hand. For example, a film bag from caviar, which was obtained from huge fish. Such a bag was called "payus", it was large and transparent, so it was well suited for "glazing". They also used the skin of large carp, which was cleaned of scales, dried and then stretched. Less often they used a bull's bladder, which was considered a very strong material. Also, stories have come down to us about how river ice was used instead of glass in winter.
If we talk about more traditional methods, then mica was in use - a layered natural material. Mica was expensive, in the 16th-17th centuries it decorated windows in royal palaces, churches, merchants' and boyars' houses. Mica was also used to decorate household items: doors, boxes, caskets, church decorations. In Rus', mica was often called "Moscow glass" and "crystal".
