Draft:Nikita Tolstoy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikita Tolstoy [ru] is a Russian folklorist who studies Folk Orthodoxy.

Folklorist Nikita Tolstoy [ru], noting the primitivism of dual faith, proposed the term troeverie ("triple faith"). The third component of the worldview of the Russian Middle Ages was the folk, "non-canonical" culture of Byzantium, the Balkans and Europe, which came to Russia with Christianity in the form of skomorokhs, Foolishness for Christ, and koliada.[1] It has also been applied to the mixture of Russian folk beliefs with those of other cultures such as Chinese folk religion.[2]
