So far, works on the influence of Christianity on mythological beliefs of Slavic and non-Slavic peoples have most often turned to book and artistic culture. The present article attempts to analyse the areas of interference and cultural flow between official Christianity and Slavic folk demonology. Only three such areas have been considered in more detail: the genesis of some mythological characters, the plots and heroes of demonological narratives, and terminology (demononymy). As the far from complete material has shown, folk demonology also experienced a noticeable impact of Christian ideas (e.g., the dichotomy of good and evil), adopted Christian spiritual values (e.g., the concept of sin) and church realities, and introduced Christian (biblical and evangelical) terms and names.
