Abstract:

Both formulations of Slav's views on the after-life, mentioned in the title, gain adherents among mediaevalists. In the author's opinion the notion of „living dead" should not be taken into account while reconstructing Slavonic eschatology. Written sources do not provide direct proofs of existence of such notion among the pagan population which practised crematory burials.The belief in “living dead" spread nosooner than after skeletal burials were introduced and universalized, which, in Europe, was mainly a result of christianization. Despite Thietmar's statement that Slavs „...", other medieval artefacts, as well as findings from graves indirectly indicate that pagan Slavs had an abstract, not material conception of the world of the dead
