Levashovism

Dragon-pronged swastika, a guise which was common in cultures of central Eurasia, emphasised by Nikolay Levashov.[1] It is a symbol of Svarog, that is, the universe itself and especially Svarga, the supreme north pole of Heaven with the rotating constellations of the Small Chariot and the Great Chariot.[2]

Levashovism is a doctrine and healing system of Rodnovery (Slavic neopaganism) that emerged in Russia, formulated by the physics theorist, occultist and psychic healer Nikolay Viktorovich Levashov (1961–2012), one of the most prominent leaders of Slavic Neopaganism after the collapse of the Soviet Union.[3] The movement was incorporated in 2007 as the Russian Public Movement of Renaissance–Golden Age (Russian: Русское Общественное Движение "Возрождение. Золотой Век"; acronym: РОД ВЗВ, ROD VZV).[4] Levashovite doctrine is based on a mathematical cosmology, a melting of science and spirituality which has been compared to a "Pythagorean" worldview,[5] and is pronouncedly eschatological.[6] Levashovism is influenced by Ynglism, especially sharing the latter's historiosophical narrative about the Slavic Aryan past of the Russians,[7] and like Ynglism it has been formally rejected by mainstream Russian Rodnover organisations.[8] The movement is present in many regions of Russia, as well as in Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova and Finland.[9]
