The article analyses the etiological legends, narratives associated with the biblical plots, as well as other stories with Christian motifs, recorded during field researches in Eastern Slovakia in 2014 and 2018. All of them have axiological focus. They offer a national assessment of the world formation, current events and people’s behaviour. Narratives are included in the wider context of similar folklore facts of other Slavic traditions, which afford an opportunity to understand the specifics of local Ruthenian micro tradition in the aspect of axiological understanding of the world.

The legends about mythological peoples constitute a vital theme of European folklore – the theme which has not been thoroughly investigated. The article presents the preliminary results of the study on beliefs related to cynocephali, i.e. people with the head of a dog and a human body, existent in folk mythology in the Byzantine and Slavic borderlands. The author also shows the relationship between the beliefs and the canonical and apocryphal texts of Byzantine and Slavic culture. The article is based on the qualitative research (analysis of ethnographic texts, interview, and observation) on cynocephali, while the results are presented in the perspective of historical and interpretative ethnography (sources from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries).

Before their arrival in Great Moravia, the Thessalonian brothers from Thessaloniki Constantine and Methodius lived in the Polychron monastery at Bithynian Olympus, which belonged to the most prominent monastic centres of the Byzantine Empire in the 9th century. There, they became acquainted with the Byzantine Hesychastic tradition, which served as the foundation for their own work and which they passed down to their disciples. The relative shortness of Constantine and Methodius’ stay in Great Moravia precluded the organizing of a monastic way of life in this territory. For this reason, Byzantine Hesychastic tradition only entered the Slavic cultural space with the help of their pupils, who transposed it to the Bulgarian Empire, where first monasteries appeared in the 10th century and became the centres of spiritual and cultural life. The first Slavic translations of ascetic texts The Longer Responses and The Ladder of Divine Ascent are directly linked to the period of establishing the monastic way of life in Bulgaria, on which Constantine and Methodius’ disciples significantly participated. These texts would become the practical handbooks on ascetic way of life for monks. Byzantine monastic practice and ascetic tradition had a marked impact not only on monks, but also on pious laypeople. For them ascetic texts became the models of virtuous life.

Florensky’s philosophy examines the notion of truth and, at the same time, the thought of a personal being and transcendence in the context of original themes of Slavic thought. The Christian concept of the person significantly enriches the noetic understanding of truth by the means of the interpersonal relationship characteristic for the context of Slavic cultures. Florensky understands truth as an existential relationship with a deeper meaning, actualized in a dialogue with a personal God. The main tendencies of the Russian personalist philosophy are the presence of verticality in relation to the horizontal relationship (relationship of one person to another) and the effort to link transcendence with factuality on the basis of which Florensky establishes his concept of a personal being. Only very intense love can overcome the contradictions in human life. There is no unity, no freedom and no truth outside love. Genuine understanding of Truth can take place only in love and it is further conceivable in love only. Basic characteristics of human being (freedom, love) cannot be categorised by means of rational thinking. Human being cannot be defined in terms of reasoning. Man can only be understood by means of intuition and by means of revelation through the symbol.

The paper presents some remarks on the chronology and spatial distribution of the Late Avar, Carolingian, and Great Moravian finds in selected areas of the Western Slavic Territories. The main subject of this paper is to analyse a particular item found in Haliczany, Chełm County in Poland. The fitting from Haliczany has already been subjected to typological and chronological analyses twice. In each case, however, it led the authors to entirelly different conclusions and since the space for its interpretation remains broad, it requires some clarification. The purpose of the study is to indicate possible origins of the fitting from Haliczany in terms of both typology and the route it travelled to finally reach the areas of today Eastern Poland. There are two competing explanations that are examined in this paper concerning either Carolingian or nomadic origins of the item in question. In the methodological dimension the paper provides arguments in favour of considering even single finds in a context broader than only stylistic speculations, including also cultural, historical, and when possible also ‘geopolitical’ determinants.

The study tries to grasp a phenomenon of the early 19th century when the Slovak nation and national literature separated from the Hungarian cultural tradition. However, many of its traditional features continued to exist in modern national literatures. The author focuses on the phenomenon of exodus as one of the defining organizational factors of Kollar's life. He tries to reconstruct Kollar´s relationship with the world in his childhood and youth from individual chapters of his memoirs Pameti z mladsich let zivota (Momoirs of my life's younger years), he mentions his priesthood in Pest, whose most important moment was Slovak church's independence struggle against the German majority. The parts dealing with Kollar's Citanka demonstrate the impact of exodus on his personal life and priest's and teacher's careers. The concept of Pan-Slavism in his works is interpreted as an imaginary home, which refers to Old Testament's paradigm system of Promised Land. There is some symbolism in Kollar's travels around Italy, which played an important role in Slovak national exodus. This phenomenon is naturally associated with many sonnets in Slavy dcera (Fame's daughter), which by activating the Old Testament's symbolism in a creative way also played a major role in establishing new Czech and Slovak ethnographies.
