Russia is where the East and the West-and where indigenous spirituality and Christianity-coexist. Although Orthodox Christianity contributed much to the history of Russia, traditional religions constituted an inseparable part of the historical heritage of Russia's peoples. Replete with rich historical memories, Russia provides endless inspiration for the future of humanity. The indigenous faiths of Russia have their origins in Hwanguk. The people of Hwanguk used numerals, geometric shapes, and mythological symbols to express nature's harmonious principles. Learning to interpret these symbols will enable you to unveil the mysteries of the ancient history of Russia and, by extension, of the ancient history of the world.
