I'm trying to write a novel, or a short story, in Medieval Russia (and Ukraine). Do they have legendary epics, such as Roland, St. George, and the dragons, etc? What about legendary creatures such as elves, dwarves, goblins, dog-headed men, werewolves? Who were their main theologians? What was their cosmology like? Did they believe in the Ptolemaic universe? Is it true that Orthodox theology rejects Aristotle and is more Platonic? Was there a dialectic relationship between Christianity and Paganism as there was in the Christian West (Christmas tree, some Pagan gods becoming saints, etc.)? In short, Russian Middle Ages? Wussup wit dat?

Why is God always talked about in such patriarchal terms?

It is clear God is a female. A male could never have given birth to the Universe.

/his/ I'm at a dilemma. It turns out that I have Nazi collaborators (now dead) in my family, and much of my family is unaware of this. My mother's grandfather was part of a provisional government in Nazi occupied territory during the war, and fled when Russians took it back. An international committee cited him as a war criminal complicit in the holocaust. He escaped justice by fleeing the country, bringing his family as refugees to where I live today.

I've been learning more of my family's life, and talking to my Grandmother and reading her journal about her time as a refugee. Some deeper digging online and through archives led me to what I learned. I'm sure she knows about his role, but might be unaware that this government committee labels him as a war criminal. My mom doesn't know about his crimes or status and she just thinks he "was some kind of government official", not even aware he was working with Nazis. She even gave my brother his middle name after him. I'm unsure about my uncles.

I don't know if I should break the news, or just drop it all together. I don't want to press my grandmother about it since she's old and doesn't need that kind of stress.

I'm going to keep details fairly vague because I'm sure some savvy /his/torian could put together the pieces and find out who it is/I am.

Thoughts /his/?

One of the topics I find most interesting in history is the appearance of these Christian 'heresies' (i.e. deviations from supposedly orthodox thought) since the very beginning.

The Carpocratians, the Borborites/Barbeloites, Valentinians, the Marcionites, the Paulicians, the Bogomils, the Cathars and you could make stretch and even include the various gnostics and even Manicheans into these.

What makes these so fascinating to read about is that we know so very little about them since all their books were their destroyed, and most of what we have are polemics written against them by their enemies. However, we can see most of them had some kind of dualistic worldview, and they seemed to have shared at least a basic belief that the material world was evil and had been created by a demiurge (the 'God' of the Old Testament).

We don't seem to know much else, though, and the Church establishment makes accusations that could certainly be fabricated, but that could also be true (though this isn't very likely).

The Cathars seemed like an interesting bunch. Rights for women, no marriage, vegetarianism. Too bad they viewed the world as evil.
>>
>>758514
We tend to get the worst aspects of them promoted or even exagerated because the church would not want to portray them in a positive light.

If you look at the stuff that comes out of the Nog Hamadi Library the Gnostics saw the material world as no more 'evil' than the Christians. It was more like a neo-platonic view. The material world is in imitation of the divine, salvation comes through knowledge of the perfect divine realm, allowing complete union with the divine. It's also somewhat similar to a lot of Orthodox theology.

There's nothing in scripture about having a pope vested with the luxuries of royalty and golden idols conducting bizarre rituals using the mummies of saints either.

Nearly all Anti-Capitalist sentiment comes from those living under Capitalism and taking the liberties it offers for granted. Alternatively,
some the most Anti-Socialist attitudes come from those who have actually lived in Socialist or Communist countries.

Yes, that's why people in the former USSR are overwhelmingly glad it fell, with only a small majority nostalgic for the Communist days.

Because a certain someone united the german people.

Because France underwent a period of high political instability starting with the french revolution. They didn't have a population explosion during the 19th century like the rest of Europe.

Here is an autistic map I made in another thread.

I believe oceanic climate and flat land was the best environment for grain production in the medieval era. New technology opened up more land to cultivation later on.

They could have. In many battles they had every excellent terrain and deployment. That they lost is another story.

Does Napoleon III deserve all that bashing he's getting?

He seems to presided over the very last period during which France was considered Europe's preeminent power. He also did much to improve the economy.

Also, I've heard that he's the archetype of modern depictions of the Devil from the way in which he was depicted on numerous caricatures.

He lost the war against Prussia so he deserves bashing in that way.
>>
>>756979
>much to improve the economy

He pursued free trade policies with Britain that actually hurt France and benefitted Britain, because he had this fear of getting napoleon'd like his uncle did.

>Europe's preeminent power
This is debatable, France may have certainly been considered Europe's preeminent power after the Crimean War but that was a problem of perception rather than reality, France never really recovered from Napoleon 1's wars.

He played his hand poorly in Italy, poorly in Germany and ultimately poorly in France.

Shit leader.
>>
>>756997
I know that it might sound like crazy conspiracy theory, but wasn't the war just a trap on him by the Republicans? Many wise heads, including Napoleon himself, knew that France was woefully unprepared to face the modernized Prussian army. Yet his hand was pretty much forced by mob emotions, for which the Republicans were largely responsible. It was easy for them to argue for war, since it was Napoleon who would bear the whole responsibility.

Can you all "red pill" me on Jesus Christ.

Is it true that in Rome, during the era of Jesus, the Romans reserved crucifixion for the most abominable criminals? Which implies that Jesus wasn't that great of a guy and was causing lots of disruption in Rome?
