'''Rodnovery''' is rodnovery, also called Slavic Native Faith, is a modern Pagan religious movement inspired by pre-Christian Slavic religion, folklore, ancestors, land, and traditional culture.

== Overview ==

Rodnovery seeks to revive or reconstruct Slavic polytheistic and ancestral religious traditions. Practices and beliefs vary by country, organization, and ideology.

The movement includes both inclusive and ethnonationalist currents, so neutral documentation should distinguish religious practice from political appropriation.
