The Russian Religion (Russian: Русская Религия), also termed Russian Vedism (Русский Ведизм), is one of the earliest doctrines of Rodnovery (Slavic Neopaganism) in Russia,[1] founded in 1992 in Saint Petersburg by the psychologist and esoteric scientist Viktor Mikhaylovich Kandyba — revered as "Prophet Kandyba" within the movement — and his son Dimitry Viktorovich Kandyba.[2] It is a monotheism based on Slavic heritage, and as such it has been compared to Ukrainian Sylenkoism.[3] The concept of "Russian" in the name "Russian Religion" does not identify an ethnic identity, but a spiritual one, being used as a synonym of the concept of "Aryan".[4]
