Alexey Dobrovolsky

[1] Dobrovolsky's father was a descendant of Zaporozhian Cossacks and studied at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, and his mother was a native Muscovite and an engineer-economist.

In prison, he became friends with former collaborators, Nazis, associates of Pyotr Krasnov, Andrei Shkuro, and Andrey Vlasov, and members of the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists (NTS).

If he has even a shred of conscience, thirty pieces of silver (a total of two years of punishment) is too little compensation for the contempt and rejection that await this slanderer.

The stigma of a scoundrel who ruined his comrades, slandering them out of base interests; our punitive organs bear a large measure of responsibility for this moral deformity of Dobrovolsky.In early 1969, Dobrovolsky was released.

At the end of 1987, when Orthodox sentiments prevailed in the association, he moved with a group of neopagan followers to the Pamyat World Anti-Zionist and Anti-Masonic Front, which was headed by Valery Yemelyanov (Velemir).

At this time, he actively gave lectures organized by Konstantin Smirnov-Ostashvili, the leader of the Pamyat Union for National Proportional Representation.

In the same year, Belov expelled Yemelyanov and his supporters, including Dobrovolsky, from the Moscow Slavic Pagan Community for political radicalism.

[8] Since the early 1990s, Dobrovolsky retired to the village of Vasenyovo, Kirov Oblast, where he carried out educational work, performing naming ceremonies and organizing neopagan holidays; during the latter, there was often heavy alcohol consumption and demonstrative destruction of icons.

In 1994, Dobrovolsky tried to create a political organization, titled the Russian National Liberation Movement (RNOD), an idea that his student A. M. Aratov later also unsuccessfully tried to implement.

On 22 June 1997, Dobrovolsky convened the Veche Unification Congress of Pagan Communities, which proclaimed him the leader of the Russian Liberation Movement.

In July 1999, Dobrovolsky was elected Supreme Volkhv of the Union of Slavic Native Belief Communities (headed by Vadim Kazakov from Kaluga).

On 1 March 2002, this case was heard in the Svechinsky District Court of Kirov, where Dobrovolsky was sentenced to two years of suspended imprisonment.

Dobrovolsky's historical and mythological concept contains ideas about time and its attributes similar to Wirth's: in nature and the universe, examples of "revolving spheres" and "a series of ideally coordinated cycles" are abundant.

Dobrovolsky viewed women as divinely chosen ones, keepers of ancestral memory: “The Mother was more of a Deity than a superior… all family and social life was built around her.

She is also the heir to the witchcraft knowledge and the mediator with the world of Spirits, for she, as a woman, is genetically endowed with a heightened intuitive susceptibility to occult influences...".

He interpreted the concept of blood and soil literally, believing that some powerful material force emanates from the graves of the ancestors and influences the fates of the living.

[1] Having borrowed the idea of vegetarianism from esoteric teachings, Dobrovolsky believed that the harmonious relationship between man and animals was first undermined by the introduction of cattle breeding.

He considered the Jews ("Zhyds") to be a qualitatively different civilization, experiencing absolute hostility to nature, unlike all the “native peoples” of the world.

In accordance with the principles of the German Nazis, he contrasted "two mutually exclusive worldviews: solar life-affirmation and pernicious obscurantism".

At the same time, he borrowed the idea of the "Synagogue of Satan" from Christian antisemitism, associating with it the pentagram, or five-pointed star, which is supposedly a symbol of evil and Freemasonry.

Allegedly, the pagan Slavs were peace-loving until Prince Vladimir introduced the custom of human sacrifice, as Christians are distinguished by their bloodthirstiness.

He denied the patriotic activities of Sergius of Radonezh and tried to prove that the Russians defeated Mamai not with the support of the church, but in spite of it.

Dobrovolsky repeated the first part of this myth without changes: Vladimir was the son of Prince Svyatoslav from Malusha, the housekeeper of his mother, Princess Olga.

The result of the prince's reign was the spiritual disarmament of the Slavs, a reduction of their numbers, and their inability to resist the Mongol-Tatar hordes.

According to his claims, the statues of Perun and other gods were erected in Kiev during the time of Vladimir Svyatoslavich at the instigation of the Jews in order to discredit paganism with bloody sacrifices and prepare the people for the introduction of Christianity.

[1] Dobrovolsky saw salvation for the Slavs in "a return to the very core of the bright pagan worldview — to the highly moral attitudes of the ancients, primarily in relation to Mother Nature".

"[19] According to the historian and religious scholar Roman Shizhensky, Dobrovolsky took the meaning of the swastika from the work of the Nazi ideologue Herman Wirth.

The main symbol of paganism approved by Dobrovolsky - the eight-pointed gammadion (swastika) in a circle - was originally proposed and, presumably, created by Wirth, who interpreted it as the most ancient.

[13] Dobrovolsky declared the eight-pointed "kolovrat", supposedly a pagan sign of the Sun, consisting of two swastikas superimposed on each other, the symbol of an uncompromising "national liberation struggle" against the "Jewish yoke".

These ideas include the understanding of the clan system as "Aryan" socialism (national socialism); the counterposing of Slavs and "Judeo-Christians"; various antisemitic ideas, including the introduction of bloody sacrifices by the Jews and the anti-natural activities and "racism" of the Old Testament and modern Jews; the treacherous activities of Prince Vladimir in introducing Christianity; the imminent onset of a new era (the Age of Aquarius), favorable for the Slavs and disastrous for their enemies.
