Slavic paganism is the polytheistic religion that was practised by the Slavs before Christianisation. The religion possesses many common traits with other religions descended from the Proto-Indo-European religion. Old Slavic religion evolved for over a thousand years and some parts of it were from neolithic or possibly even mesolithic times.  In English resources the religion is often called Rodnovery and its followers Rodnovers ( an adaptation of Russian terms Родноверие Rodnoverie, from Russian родная вера rodnaya vera, "native faith"). Also term Ridnoviry, from Ukrainian is in use
