Such was the world, when for me ability of him appeared to remember.

On Easter the inhabitants of Ukrainian Carpathians and Prikarpattya not only glorify rosening Khrista but also arrange games and funs sense of which is covered in heathen beliefs. Our ancestors said goodbye a tank and singing with the winter, welcomed a spring, in form games socialized with forces of nature, asking in them a good harvest, happy fate, health on throughout the year.

In July, 1015 in Birch-bark Vladimir Velikiy died under Kyiv. Heirs there was much for him - a fight for the Kievan «table», which princes always conducted without the special moral principles, began. Yes, Svyatopolk (in history remained under a nickname Damned) began with that which sent the hired killers to the brothers of Boris and Gliba. Afterwards they were kanonizovani and became the first christian saints of Kievan Russia.
