Slavic Runes. Anton Platov

“Slavic Runes” is a book with a telling title. It will open up before you the history of the ancient Slavs, their culture and writing, which our ancestors used even before the arrival of Cyril and Methodius. These Greek enlighteners brought literacy to the ancient Russian tribes, but could not completely deprive the inhabitants of the runes they were accustomed to. Since then, the runes have survived only in traditional amulets and existed alongside Christian icons for several more centuries. Why couldn’t the Slavs completely abandon these ancient signs? Why are they relevant even in the modern world? You will find answers to these and many other questions in this book. The updated edition of the famous book “Slavic Runes,” supplemented by the author in 2022 with the latest research findings, is part of the “Anton Platov Library” series. Read the entire series to get a complete picture of the life of the ancient Western and Eastern Slavs!
