  16. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS EARLY LIFE & INITIAL MIGRATIONS OF THE SLAVS DURING THE YEARS 1500 BC TO 100 AD (BEFORE THE GREAT MASS-MIGRATIONS), THE PROTO-SLAVS BEGAN THEIR FIRST MINOR MIGRATIONS, MOST OF IT IN THEIR OWN SLAVIC CRADLE. IT was the HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT of the PRIPET MARSHES that FORCED the SLAVS to MIGRATE IN ALL DIRECTIONS AT THIS EARLY STAGE.

  17. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The experts refer to the Proto-Slavs as nomadic peasants who practised primitive forms of agriculture. They were also hunters who pursued herds of prey for months. Hunting expeditions called for tenacity and courage and the use of every possible kind of weapon or trap

  18. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS As the EARLY SLAVS were AGRICULTURALISTS, THEIR MIGRATION AT THIS STAGE WAS NOT ONE OF VIOLENT CONQUEST BY WARRIORS, BUT OF PEACEFUL COLONIZATION BY PEASANTS MOVING ABOUT WITH TENTS IN FAMILY GROUPS

  19. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS TheEARLY SLAVS of the SLAVIC CRADLE ALSO HAD A DEEP SENSE OF RELIGION, EVEN THOUGH IT INVOLVED PAGAN NATURE WORSHIP AND RITUAL SACRIFICES.

  21. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The EARLY SLAVS DEVELOPED FORMS of SOCIAL ORGANIZATION BASED ON CO-OPERATION BETWEEN LARGE FAMILIES (ZADRUGA), SOCIAL EQUALITY and the DEMOCRACY WHICH CURTAILED ANY ATTEMPTS AT CENTRALIZATION of ECONOMIC OR POLITICAL POWER

  22. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The HARSH CLIMATE of the PRIPET MARSHESwas RESPONSIBLE IN FORCING the SLAVS INTO A POOR LEVEL OF CIVILIZATION (CURTA 2001, P. 9), COMPARED to the OTHER PEOPLES of EARLY EUROPE

  23. PRIPET MARSHES

  24. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The Great Slavic Mass-Migrations In the 1st century (0-100 AD), the EARLY SLAVS WERE STILL SITUATED AROUND THE 'SLAVIC CRADLE', WHICH NOW HAD EXPANDED ENCOMPASSING THE BALTIC TO THE CARPATHIANS, AS A RESULT OF THE SMALLER, INITIAL MIGRATIONS FROM THE PRIPET MARSHES

  25. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The SLAVIC WORD FOR GLORY; 'SLAVA' is ORIGINALLY a REFERENCE to the GREAT and PROUD ANCESTRAL HOMELAND

  26. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS EPIC STORIES of the GREAT MASS-MIGRATION AWAY from the SLAVIC CRADLE are EMBEDDED in the HISTORY and CULTURAL HERITAGE of the SLAVS

  27. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The GREAT MASS MIGRATION of the SLAVS FROM THE ANCIENT HOMELAND of the 'SLAVIC CRADLE' to the WEST, EAST and SOUTH of EUROPE BEGAN AROUND the END of the 2nd CENTURY AD and CONTINUED to the MIDDLE of the 7th CENTURY AD

  28. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The NAME PROTO-SLAV CAN BE SAID FOR THE SLAVS BEFORE the MASS-MIGRATIONS, and the NAME SLAV for the SLAVS AFTER the EXPANSION

  29. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS The MASS MIGRATIONS of the SLAVS were INSTIGATED by the MOVEMENTS OF OTHER ETHNIC PEOPLES; NAMELY the GERMANIC TRIBES and ASIAN NOMADS

  31. “SLAV-ic”ORIGINS SINCE the NATURAL CONDITIONS of the PRIPET MARSHES WERE UNFAVOURABLE, the EARLY SLAVS DEVELOPED FORMS OF SOCIAL ORGANIZATION BASED ON CO-OPERATION BETWEEN LARGE FAMILIES (ZADRUGA), SOCIAL EQUALITY, AND THE DEMOCRACY WHICH CURTAILED ANY ATTEMPTS AT CENTRALIZATION OF ECONOMIC OR POLITICAL POWER.
