Hello everyone. I am a Greek Orthodox Christian and have the Byzantine eagles tattooed on my chest as it is the symbol/flag of the church. I was at the pool and was told by someone that served in the Ukrainian foreign legion that some could think it is Russian and find it offensive? Is that true?
I've decided to create my own pan-Slavic flag, as i am unsatisfied with the current pan-Slavic tricolour due to its lack of creativity, coming from a Slav, and i also have decided to avoid using the Kolovrat, which those versed in Slavic history or symbols in general may know that it is a symbol with Slavic ties.
Why did i avoid using the Kolovrat?
It's simple:
The Kolovrat is a symbol which had sadly been appropriated by a number of extremist groups, tarnishing any use of it.
Instead, i used three stylized oak leaves.
Why the oak leaf specifically?
Legend says that Perun, one of the ancient Slavic Pagan Gods (think Slavic Zeus), had struck an oak tree, and it was said the oak tree was the only thing to have survived his lightning.
From then on, the oak tree became heavily associated with Perun.
There are three oak leaves for the three main Slavic branches:
The West Slavs, the South Slavs, and the East Slavs.
The flag features three white oak leaves, separated by three blue lines of the same width.
The flag uses the standard Slavic colours (blue, white and red).
Thoughts?
Альбом «Міжсьветы» - гэта гук, які нарадзіўся дзесьці паміж палескімі балотамі, старадаўнімі матывамі і тым, што звычайна прыходзіць толькі ў снах. Гэта падарожжа праз туман, агонь, памяць і цішыню.
Асаблівае месца ў альбоме займае сумесная праца Цішыні Успамінаў і Belle Morte «Шлях» - для тых, хто хоча пачуць беларускую музыку за межамі чаканага.
Гэта момант, дзе альбом «Міжсьветы» канчаткова перастае быць проста фолк-эмбіентам.
Трэк пачынаецца як туманная фолк-балада, але паступова ператвараецца ў цяжкую, амаль тэатральную містэрыю ў чатырох актах. Тут славянскія матывы сустракаюцца з дум-металам, чысты жаночы вакал - з гроўлам, а лірычная прыгажосць - з адчуваннем, зямля сыходзіць з-пад ног.
Im from Sweden and was messing around with a radio and came across this channel on the AM radio. Could anyone translate what she is saying. She might not say anything special, I know. But I’m just curious. Thanks in advance! (Apologies if the voice is static)
Obviously not interested in any recommendations from russians (Turn off your vpns and keep scrolling, it's easy if you try) or any people rotten by ivans' doublespeak, but all the other suggestions are welcome and really appreciated.
#‼️NO AI. ONLY REAL MUSIC.
Step into a world shaped by ancestral memory, sacred traditions and the spirit of the Slavic lands.
This playlist blends Slavic folk, dark ambient, ethereal and neofolk music into a deeply atmospheric journey through forests, rivers, forgotten villages and ancient wisdom passed from generation to generation.
Inspired by the cultural heritage of Slavic peoples, these songs carry echoes of old beliefs, seasonal rites, lullabies, laments and the quiet relationship between humans and nature. Wooden flutes, ritual percussion, layered vocals and immersive ambient textures create a sound that feels both ancient and timeless.
Perfect for introspection, reading, traveling, meditation, creative work or moments when you want to feel closer to your roots and the living memory of the old world.
I narrowed it down to these four languages that seem to appeal to me the most. If it helps you decide, I'm a native European Spanish speaker, fluent in English, almost fluent in French and learning German, Italian, Norwegian and Levantine Arabic.
I'm interested in a language most intelligible with languages from the same family (slavic), and from a country with a rich and open culture. It doesn't matter to me whether the country is small or has little population, but I would prefer a language that I could learn for free or for little money, so no expensive online tutors (I would love to interact with natives but I just can't afford it).
Thank you in advance for your time! :)
Hello everyone! :)
I am a native russian speaker and I studied belarusian at school. Now I am learning polish and I want to reach B2 level as fast as possible.
I have a problem. I can understand words and speech, but I struggle with grammar. I often make mistakes in cases and verb endings.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot for help! :)
I don't know if i am allowed to ask this in the group. I will explain it quickly
My great-grandfather and his family were from Poland. They had to flee to Holland because they were Jewish. Their plan was to go to America but because they lacked money, they couldn't and decided to stay there. He married my great-grandmother who was an Dutch woman.
Unfortanaly second world war reached Holland in the 1940's. All of them expect for my grandfather (who managed to escape) were arrested and killed by the nazi's. I never knew my grandfather, he died when i was very young.
Now i will come to the case. Nobody can tell me anything about my family and i just realised that not only them but also an whole culture was ripped away from me and my family. I would love to learn more about the slavic culture, since it is an part of my dna. I look more Slavic and maybe act like it at times. I would love if you guys can tell me more about the culture or have book suggestions or whatever. Thank you in advance!
My grandparents came to Canada because of WWII. At that time our last name was shortened, they assimilated pretty heavily into Anglican Canadian culture, and I think survival and fitting in became more important than holding onto old traditions.
I grew up knowing we were Czech/Slavic, and I have a deep desire to connect with my culture more than just passively.
I think what looking for is human connection from people who still carry some of this culture in their everyday lives.
If anyone else has gone through this, do you feel the same way? Or does anyone have advice on how I can reconnect with my culture outside of passive ways?
