about

The album is dedicated to the bravest and the youngest Slavonic tribes Union – vyatichi. In the chronics indicate that vyatichi not occur from the eastern Slavs, but from the western, "Poles, of “lyashski” race."

Vyatichi was honored Stribog individuality, in Slavonic mythology he is the god of winds and fates. From the first centuries of becoming Russia Vyatichi tried to attach to their state Kievan kings, but without success. Oleg took things in campaigns against Constantinople Vyatichi as allies, not subjects.

Since the beginning of the Christianization of Russia by Vladimir, vyatichi reflected new raids of Kiev. But in the future were subdued, after a cowardly way their leader was killed – Hodota, King of Vyatichi.

Paganism in these forest lands remained until the XV century. Vyatichi has their own kingdom as much as 200 years old. In Arabic sources it is mentioned like Vantit. The Arabs were told that next to the Kievan Rus (Kujawy) there is a separate independent state. The people of this country were no different from the Rus in appearance, and their women always wore a variety of jewelery.

All the same, the people were rich. Half of the treasures of the Slavic tribes belong to vyatichi.
