The article analyses the essence and reasons for the 'neo-pagan turn' of Russian culture and philosophy of the 19th-21st centuries to the theme of 'corporality,' which is presented in a wide range of approaches from Russian romanticism to modern Russian projects of 'new metaphysics' and 'progressive archaism.' The author exemplifies the actualization of the corporality theme as the renaissance of neo-paganism in philosophical discourse by phenomena of the Silver Age, Russian philosophy of the first part of the 20th century represented by V. Rozanov's, N. Berdyaev's and L. Shestov's concepts, Soviet natural philosophy prose of the 1960s-1980s (Ch. Aitmatov, V. Rasputin, V. Astafyev), modern Russian political philosophy (National-Bolshevik project by Alexander Dugin). It is concluded that neo-paganism is an invariant cultural phenomenon laying claim to modern problems solving of both the society and personality. It, therefore, acts as a new ideological strategy, new philosophy and new religion.
