Paganism, Traditionalism, Nationalism: Narratives of Russian Rodnoverie

Kaarina Aitamurto's Paganism, Traditionalism, Nationalism is a scholarly academic study of Russian Rodnoverie, the modern Slavic neopagan revival movement, examining its varied and sometimes internally conflicting relationships to Russian nationalism and to Traditionalist philosophical currents. Aitamurto's authority rests on direct fieldwork and interviews with Rodnoverie practitioners and organizations across Russia, work published by Routledge with standard academic peer review. As a study of a genuinely diverse and decentralized modern movement, the book is careful to distinguish explicitly nationalist and ultranationalist strands of Rodnoverie from other adherents who reject that political framing, a distinction worth preserving in any use of this source rather than treating Rodnoverie as a single politically uniform movement.
