Mike asked this question about The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1):
Is Morov (Frost) an authentic deity in the pantheon or pagan Russian Gods? If so does the average Russian know of their pagan past.
Elizabeth Fernandez Morov is not part of the Russian pagan pantheon; it's just an alteration of a Russian fairy tale character. We don't know much about Russia's pagan pa…moreMorov is not part of the Russian pagan pantheon; it's just an alteration of a Russian fairy tale character. We don't know much about Russia's pagan past since their written language is a direct result of Christian missionaries. We do know some of their main gods (Perun, for example) thanks to the Primary Chronicles, but that is the only source I know of that tells us about Slavic mythology. I don't know how much the average Russian knows about their pantheon; there's really not a lot to go on.(less)
