Abstract. By the example of the basic storylines of the Ukrainian fantasy film "The Outpost" (Ukraine, "Kinodel" studio, director Y. Kovalev, 2017), the article examines the key archetypes of the Slavonic XXI-century paganism. Among them, the authors identify the following ones: conceptions of the ethno-oriented Slavonic "Golden Age" (in the movie space: frontier "Rimov", village "Aistovo"); the original Slavonic administrative system combining elements of military democracy and theocracy (Council of Three Bogatyrs and grandfather Evsey); syncretism of cultic symbolics (simultaneous use of Christian, pagan and neo-pagan symbols within a single ethno-confessional mono-cultural community); sacralization of priests (the sorcerer’s invisibility, his ability to manipulate the space-time continuum, etc.); religious eclecticism (church, the sign of the cross, Veles, Perun, Golem, etc.).
Key words and phrases: современное славянское язычество, архетипы, фэнтези, волхвы, синкретизм, пантеон, modern Slavonic paganism, archetypes, fantasy, sorcerers, syncretism, pantheon
