The article deals with the problem of renaissance of pagan beliefs and archetypes in the culture of post- USSR countries and its impact on political and ideological processes. The author describes and analyses the fundamental principles and mechanisms of mythological renaissance, a typical tendency of transitive cultures in the situation of social changes and globalization. The article provides an integral vision of National Bolshevik ideology, including its historical, philosophical, political and ideological aspects. It stresses the necessity of viewing National Bolshevism as a well-developed doctrinal theory and practice of the right-wing totalitarianism, or Russian neo-fascism. The author explicates ideological principles and projects of global reconstruction of society, which are the most typical of National Bolshevism. The article makes a point that that the National Bolshevik movement takes a Neo-pagan ideological turn that can be described as a synthesis of Neo-pagan ideas and neo-totalitarian tendencies at cultural and social levels. The author proposes two models for understanding the Neo-pagan framework of the National Bolshevik ideology. The first model provides an understanding of Neo-paganism as a special type of mentality shaped by an unconventional interpretation of three temporal modes – the past, the present and the future. The second model understands it as a unity of two fundamental conceptual programs intended for the reconstruction of ontological status of the world and the individual (“Neo-pagan metaphysics”) as well as the reconstruction of social order (“Neo-pagan meta-politics”).

The paper presents etnographic research results in Russia in 2008 in Altai Krai and in 2010 in its European part. The author observed the popularity of the new social movement - the Ringing Cedars of Russia. Its formation was inspired through The Ringing Cedars Series. The author - Vladimir Megré chronicles his meetings with Anastasia, a mysteriously powerful woman in Siberian taiga. She led Megré into a world of cosmic consciousness. She is able to solve even most complex social, health and environmental problems. The author refers to the old Russian, spiritual tradition, this is the institution of starets influenced by Greek monasticism. It's related to the deep-rooted tradition of Russian apocalyptic and messianic elements, the idea of Russia's great mission as the Holy Russia, and then the idea of Moscow - Third Rome. Anastasia is presented as an allien, too. She came from another planet by some space vehicle in order to render to people the saving massage. Anastasia's teaching is focused mostly on ecology which is strictly connected with feminism. A recurring theme throughout all of the books is creating 'Kin's Domain,' or 'Space of Love,' that is a hectare of family-land which is developed into a self-sustaining type of mini food-farms. The series inspired many readers worldwide to cast away their old lifestyles in pursuit of a purer existence. These developments are commonly undertaken as part of an eco-village and celebrate freedom from the unnatural pressures and stresses of modern life. The aim is also a reconstruction of Slavic tradition (holidays, customs and habits).
