A polytheistic religion practiced in the north of the Kievan Empire.

Gods include:

Sventovit- Main god, he has four heads, each pointing in a different cardinal direction; he is the god of light, war, and fertility. He is mentioned in one of Ikulu's Lists.
Treeglov- He has only three heads and is the god of the sacred black horse.
Chudoyudo- A dragon that may live in Lake Ilmen, just south of Novgorod; his beautiful daughter sometimes courts men.
Moist Mother Earth- A personification of earth; most Russians 'believe' in her, regardless of religion.

These gods may have been imported from the Hindu faith in India by such luminaries as Igwolf and Alexander the Great.
