Slavic mythology
The publication of the art encyclopedia "Slavic Mythology" from the "ARTMIF — World Bestiary" series covers a large stratum of beings from lower mythology that do not have divine status: spirits, evil beings, animals, which most often are characters of the most popular folklore genres, fairy tales, myths, and most vividly reflect the culture and traditions of Slavic peoples. The art encyclopedia presents a unique registry of 75 beings, many of which are found only in academic literature. Many mythical beings have not preserved images and for the first time have received an artistic form corresponding to canonical descriptions. I reproduced all descriptions of the creatures from academic sources so that the artists could preserve the ethnic flavor. The descriptions are largely a compilation of ethnographic data and my personal research. And more, you can see my illustration on pages of this book!
At the Slavic Culture Festival, I gave a lecture on Slavic culture, and later spoke at the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation on the topic of "Actualization of Cultural Heritage." My presentations were well received, and I received diplomas and certificates of appreciation.
Since my creative works and my books were included in exhibitions, and I traveled with performances and lectures, I received many diplomas and letters of thanks for my project on Slavic mythology.
