At the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair, where Vladimir Megre drew a large crowd, [112] it was claimed that The Ringing Cedars of Russia had been sold in twenty million copies worldwide and had been translated into twenty languages. [113] Anastasian communities have been established all over the world. [13] Starting from spreading in Russia and post- Soviet Eastern Europe, the movement has then spread to Western Europe and Scandinavia, North America, Australia, South Africa, and elsewhere. [114] The Anastasians believe in the interconnectedness of all being, and therefore they greatly emphasise the moral responsibility of individuals and humanity towards the surrounding world; they believe that human thoughts and feelings actively, magically influence the surrounding world, having the power to affirm or disrupt natural harmony. [66] The surrounding reality is actively shaped by human thought and speech, which is read and realised by the universal mind; therefore it is important that humans have good thoughts and good speech, avoiding any negative and destructive word. [42] Pranskevičiūtė reports the following excerpt from Megre's first book, Anastasia: [67]

The central aim of Anastasianism is "to escape from the urban miseries and find God's presence, good ecological environment, have a family and reconstruct national values". [55] The 2000s–2010s Great Recession contributed to the strengthening of Anastasians' eschatological beliefs about the downfall of the evil technocratic Western civilisation and the rise of a new Vedic Golden Age. [120] In 2012, Julia O. Andreeva reported that Megre's books and Anastasians themselves were expecting a law in Russia according to which everyone might get one hectare of land for free. [121] Although in principle Anastasians refute the very idea of party politics, by 2016 some of them had founded the "Native Party" (Родная партия, Rodnaya partiya), which was registered by the Russian Ministry of Justice, and proposed a bill "About kinship homesteads" (О родовых поместьях, O rodovykh pomest'yakh), supported by the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia and by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (which drafted their own versions of the bill). [122] On 1 May 2016, the president Vladimir Putin enacted the Law on the Far Eastern Hectare. [123] Fedotova, I. N. (2008).

She's the same as a million other girls-certainly no one to be cherished. But special or not, she smiles every day, never imagining that someone would rely on the simple gesture as if it were air to breathe.

Anastasianism proposes a whole new model of social organisation, that of the "kinship homesteads", many of which constitute larger "kinship settlements". [15] The Anastasian movement has become one of the most successful new religious movements in Russia, [16] and from there it has then spread to other Slavic countries, broader Eastern Europe, and communities have also been established in the West. [17] In Russia, Anastasians have faced the hostility of the Russian Orthodox Church. [18] Overview [ edit ] Sun Birch Tree, by the Russian artist Lola V. Lonli, 2000. In the Anastasian doctrine, God, Rod, is the eternal spiritual flow of life; its thought manifests itself as the spiral of time, of the year and the solar day, and concretely as the cycles of nature, of never-ending birth–death–rebirth. [19] This continuous creation, or spiritual emanation, is symbolically represented by the tree of life, of which all entities are branches; the term Anastasia ("resurrection" and "incorruption") means being conscious of being eternal-living branches of the tree of the eternal spirit of God. [20] Etymology and definition [ edit ] Born in 1969 to parents who died in a forest accident shortly after her birth – Anastasia has since fended for herself, watched over only by her grandfather, her Is it a dream when he inks his name on her skin? Is it a delusion when she puts her hands on his face and says she loves him? Nothing has ever felt more real. Anastasians pay great attention to health, and especially to the health of children, often rejecting the treatments of modern medicine, as Anastasian anthropology conceives man as an integral entity, existing only as an inextricable interconnection of the spiritual and the physical. [74] In this vein, many Anastasians practise home birth or birth at sea, body hardening, herbal medicine, treatment with honey and bee products, and refuse vaccines and drugs. [75] Natural childbirth is emphasised, and well explained in Megre's books even with the description of the childbirth rite of the ancient Vedrus, while medical support in childbirth is completely rejected as the "main crime of civilisation against humanity", as "it is a vivid illustration of the loss of ability in women of the generative instinct, and the loss in modern people of the knowledge not only of the primary sources, but also of the elementary culture of feelings". [76] The reasons for Anastasians' refusal of medical treatments for illness and childbirth are primarily esoteric, as they believe that medical intervention violates the integrity of the body and the spiritual essence of the human being. [77] Vladimir Megre's The Ringing Cedars of Russia manuals define the ideas they expound as " Vedism" and " Paganism", implying that the latter is a continuation of the former, and at the same time they explain that Paganism, and even more so Vedism, may not be defined as a "religion" but more correctly as a "culture of the way of life". [31] Megre's books often make reference to specifically "Slavic" traditions, [31] and most Anastasians identify the "Paganism" of Megre's books as the pre-Christian Slavic religion. [32]Except Wolf refuses to deliver on that guarantee for himself. He doesn't find love until Hazel Lavender's best friend pushes her through his front door. Now all he wants to do is make sure Hazel is 110% satisfied... in his bed. Which, ironically, would break the very rules Wolf demands of his employees--no dating clients, ever. Meanwhile, having wormed his way into Heaven, the corrupt Everett has trapped God in Hell and has designs on unleashing evil everywhere. Fortunately, if there's one thing Emma can't do (in addition to minding her language), it's give up. and superficial limitations that seem to separate us one from another – they simply go straight to the very core of our being.

A very important thing, according to Anastasia, is that Nature materialises thanks to the thoughts of God. God invented grass, trees and animals. These are the thoughts of God, and through communication with them, we communicate with God. And this is not an esoteric position. [...] Thoughts are read with great attention by a person with good imagination. [...] In this way there is an opportunity to speak with God.Your distant, very distant ancestral mother was Pagan. She loved and understood nature. She knew the Universe and the meaning of the rising Sun. [...] They were Pagans, they
