Pagans in Russia
You may find a couple of pagan traditions in modern Russia. They exist among the locals in Siberia, Volga region, far North and even in central regions. You may find pagans not only among Tyva locals or Mari people. They may also live in megapolis such as Moscow or St.Petersburg. Recently we face a huge interest towards rodnovers moment, or as they say - religion. We can try to describe it as a reconstruction of before-Christian pagans beliefs of ancient Slavic tribes. The goal is to rebuilt ancient Slavic beliefs and rites. It is also possible to say that modern Slavic paganism is a try to unite people in a kind of subculture based on pagans ideas.
Some rodnovers do their rites of purification and naming. The main sense of it is to receive a new name. They even have built a pagan temple in one of Russian regions.
