This article is the author's response to a recent paper by N. A. Kutyavin, in which he set out his views on how to study the Russian neopaganism (“Rodnoverie”). The author agrees with N. A. Kutyavin that Russian neopaganism has no historical continuity with ancient Slavic paganism, but does not agree with many his comments. Although the Kutyavin’s article is devoted to neopaganism, its author focuses primarily on what the ancient Slavic paganism was. In doing so, he relies principally on the theoretical constructs of some Western philosophers, religious scholars, and sociologists, which have little relevance to the Slavic material. This article demonstrates the vulnerability of many Kutyavin’s theses and the need for a more thorough study of specific factual material before proceeding to the formulation of generalizing theories
