Essay

The dissertation examines pagan and Christian artefacts of the Upper Popruttya and Middle Podnistrovya (religious objects and constructions, burial grounds, habitations, separate categories of findings etc.). It systematises known by today data on pagan and Christian archaeological findings in the region, characterises the stage of their examination. Pagan religious objects have been defined and classified; the time of penetration, as well as the degree of expansion of the Christian religion in the given area has been identified. Much attention is paid to the displays of syncretic religious beliefs in the material and spiritual culture of the old-Slavonic habitants of the region. As a result of the multifaceted analysis of the sources at our disposal (archaeological ones are considered to be of primary importance), we can trace a complete picture of the evolutionary development of the set of the religious ideas of the Slav-Slavonic habitants of the examined area during the 8th - first half of the 13thcentury.
