The Sixteenth-Century "Account of Muscovy" Attributed to Don Felippo Prenestain
Medicine as Reflected in the Laws of Early Rus
The One-Day Votive Church: A Religious Response to the Black Death in Early Russia
In 1892, as Moscow prepared to celebrate the five-hundredth anniversary of the death of Saint Sergei of Radonezh, an article appeared in the Moskovskiia vedomosti which suggested that one appropriate way to mark the occasion would be to erect a replica of the small wooden Church of the Holy Trinity built by Saint Sergei at the site of his famed monastery north of Moscow. The article further urged that the project be a cooperative effort and that …

Witchcraft and Medicine in Pre-Petrine Russia
The Ordeal by Water (Swimming of Witches) in the East Slavic World
During the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, much of Western Europe was caught up in the phenomenon known as the witch craze. Before it finally ended in the early eighteenth century this mass hysteria had claimed a goodly number of victims, mostly women, who were seized, tortured, tried, and executed, sometimes on the flimsiest of evidence, for alleged maleficia against their neighbors and heresy against the church.Once the accus…
Bylina and Fairy Tale: The Origins of Russian Heroic Poetry
The Pagan Priests of Early Russia: Some New Insights
The year 1071 was a particularly difficult one for the relatively young Christian church in Kievan Rus. In a lengthy entry the Primary Chronicle details the activities during 1071 of the volkhvy (pagan priests or magicians), who seem to have embarked upon an intense, widespread campaign of subversion and active opposition to the new faith. Appearing in such major cities as Kiev and Novgorod, they sowed confusion and discord among the people, many…
Origins of the Russian Puppet Theater: An Alternative Hypothesis
The Russian puppet theater (kukol'nyi teatr or Petrushka) is not well known in the West. There are passing references to it in general histories of puppetry and the like, but unfortunately these are more often confusing than enlightening. One learns, for example, that the Old Russian version of the Polish marionette theater, the szopka, was the "bertep [sic] meaning Bethlehem," or that the first known description of a Russian puppet show appears …
"Kievan "Byliny: Their Enigmatic Disappearance from Kievan Territory
Skomorokhi: The Russian Minstrel-Entertainers
Numerous sources, both secular and ecclesiastical, attest to the widespread popularity in Kievan Rus' and Muscovite Russia of the professional minstrelentertainers known as skomorokhi. To the folklorist these curious jacks-of all- trades, reminiscent of the French jongleurs and German Spielmänner, have become identified primarily with the singing, composing, and eventual transmission to the peasants of the north of heroic tales and historical son…
