Abstract

The paper is concerned with a detailed consideration of one of the most well-known and frequently mentioned Slavic pagan deities: Dazhbog (or Daž(d)bog). Historiographic stereotypes full of contradictions and problems have been fixed in research concerned with the deity, for example, defining Dazhbog as the deity of the sun; its proximity to another solar deity (Chors) and vagueness, why are there two solar deities; Dazhbog’s relation to the deity Svarog/Svarozhich; Dazhbog’s belonging only to the East Slavic area; the etymology of his name as a “giving deity”. An alternative view on Dazhbog (overlooked rather than new) that can solve these problems is given in this paper.

达兹波格：闪耀天空中的古代斯拉夫异教徒神

本文详细介绍了斯拉夫最著名、最常被提及的异教徒神之一：达兹波格（Dazbog，或Daž（d）bog）。在对神的研究中，充满矛盾和问题的史学刻板印象已经固定下来，例如，将达博格定义为太阳神；它与另一个太阳神（Chors）的接近和模糊，为什么有两个太阳神；Dazbog与神Svarog/Svarozhich的关系；达兹波格只属于东斯拉夫地区；他的名字的词源是“给予神”。本文对Dazbog提出了另一种观点（被忽视而非新的），可以解决这些问题。

The journal is dedicated to interdisciplinary studies, and one of the main aims of this journal is to present comparative research that defines and determines (i.e. establishes) Slavic culture in the context of the wider European and non-European world (cultures). The journal intends to throw light on the belief systems and religions of older Slavic, Eurasian, and other civilisations. Moreover, it encourages the research of contemporary phenomena in the field of spiritual, social and material culture, and their transformation. The character of the publication is both international and interdisciplinary, covering the themes from the field of ethnology, anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, religious studies, history of literature and philosophy. It also brings new interpretations of historical sources and presents new discoveries, material, and field research. The journal was first published in 1998, and since then it has been published once a year in a multi-language edition, in print and on the internet. Each year, it is distributed in exchange for hundred scientific publications from around the world. The articles are published in English, Italian, German and all Slavic languages.
