[1] The movement is characterised by a military orientation, combining Rodnover worldview with the practice of a martial arts style known as "Slavic-hill wrestling" (Славяно-горицкая борьба, Slavyano-goritskaya bor'ba).
[6] Rather than as a "religion", Belov characterises the movement of Slavic-Hill Rodnovery as a man's "assimilation to the law of the universe", expressed in images and worship practices.
[8] The liturgy is extremely simplified and the god of warriors, the thunderer, is worshipped through war totems (the animals falcon, kite, bear, wolf and lynx).
[6] The adherents believe that the class of the warriors should have the superior and leading role in society (espousing the idea of a military state and rejecting communism and democracy), and should be always ready to sacrifice themselves for the community.
[9] The movement abhors moral decay, while emphasising discipline and conservative values, and even though Belov's early works do not have a radical right-wing posture, many adherents espouse such position.
