Levashovism is a doctrine and healing system of Rodnovery (Slavic neopaganism) that emerged in Russia, formulated by the physics theorist, occultist and psychic healer Nikolay Viktorovich Levashov (1961–2012), one of the most prominent leaders of Slavic Neopaganism after the collapse of the Soviet Union.[3] The movement was incorporated in 2007 as the Russian Public Movement of Renaissance–Golden Age (Russian: Русское Общественное Движение "Возрождение. Золотой Век"; acronym: РОД ВЗВ, ROD VZV).[4] Levashovite doctrine is based on a mathematical cosmology, a melting of science and spirituality which has been compared to a "Pythagorean" worldview,[5] and is pronouncedly eschatological.[6] Levashovism is influenced by Ynglism, especially sharing the latter's historiosophical narrative about the Slavic Aryan past of the Russians,[7] and like Ynglism it has been formally rejected by mainstream Russian Rodnover organisations.[8] The movement is present in many regions of Russia, as well as in Ukraine, Belarus, Romania, Moldova and Finland.[9]

Overview

[edit]
Three of the Slavo-Aryan Vedas

Nikolay V. Levashov was educated in advanced physics and quantum mechanics.[10] He began to practise psychic healing in Russia in the 1980s, and in 1990–1991 he held seminars on the subject.[9] In 1991 he moved to California, in the United States, where he lived until 2006 and where he wrote his main books.[9] In 2006 he returned to Russia where in 2007 he founded the Russian Public Movement of Renaissance–Golden Age, formally incorporating the movement of his followers.[4] A few months before dying, Levashov ran for the 2012 Russian presidential election.[11]

Levashov claimed to be a bearer of genuine "Vedic" sacred knowledge of the "Slavic Aryans",[12] and called on his followers to live in rational harmony with nature following the path of evolution represented by ancient Vedic culture.[13] Levashovism is based on the Book of Veles and on the Slavo-Aryan Vedas first popularised by the Ynglist Church in the 1990s;[14] Levashov reworked the teachings of these books into original publications, including some—such as The Tale of the Bright Falcon—presenting such teachings in the style of the Russian fairy tale.[15] Levashov referred to the Slavo-Aryan Vedas as carriers of the "innermost knowledge of the first ancestors".[6]

The Levashovite worldview has been likened to Pythagoreanism by Barbara G. Koopman and Richard A. Blasband,[5] for its being "a rare meld of science and spirituality".[16] However, Levashovism, together with Ynglism, was condemned in a joint statement issued in 2009 by the major Russian organisations of mainstream Rodnovery, which deemed it a non-genuine doctrine detrimental to the whole Rodnover movement.[8]

Cosmology of Svarog

[edit]
Representation of the theo-cosmology of Levashovism, showing the seven primary matters pouring from the Chariots of the north pole of the sky

According to Levashovite doctrine, all the universe is living matter in quantised space.[10] The universe, all universal creation itself, is the visible manifestation of the absolute God, Rod (Род); this visible manifestation is Svarog (Сварог), the supernal God in the heights of Heaven—Svarga—, the abode of the gods—Asgard—, and the Slavic Aryan paradise—Iriy—, which correspond to the north celestial pole and its circumpolar stars, especially the seven-starred constellations of the Bear or Chariot (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, the Great Chariot and the Small Chariot) at the centre of the zodiac.[2] Svarog and the universal process of creation are represented by the swastika.[2] The universe has three dimensions, Prav, Yav and Nav: Prav, meaning "Right", is the abode of the gods itself, from which all the right laws of nature come from; Yav is the "manifested" world of the living; while Nav is the "unmanifested" world where the dead go before being born again in Yav.[17]

Quantised space is the cradle of all creation and is anisotropic, that is to say non-uniform or non-homogeneous in its architecture, characterised by different qualities and properties in different directions, in which matter interacts in different ways taking different shapes.[18] Qualities and properties of space in its different regions are constantly changing.[5] This view is strongly supported in astrophysics, and is opposed to the classical view according to which the universal space is isotropic, that is to say uniform in its qualities and properties in all directions, in which matter manifests itself in similar ways.[10]

In the Levashovite worldview, anisotropy has a central role in all creation, both microcosmic and macrocosmic; the process of creation unfolds through the eternal interplay, or "cosmic dance", between matter and the anisotropic space, governed by quantifiable parameters.[19] The architectural patterns of any of the regions of space are quantised, and therefore expressible in numerical values.[5] These architectural patterns "actually define and impose the limits within which its chaotically moving matter may exist and the degree of stability it may maintain".[5] The architectures of quantised space, expressible in numerical parameters, are continuously changing, or fluctuating, due to perturbations exerted by electromagnetic waves, both in the microcosmic world of atoms and in the macrocosmic world of stars, and their fluctuations are "responsible for every expression of nature that happens in the universe".[20] Levashov left a mathematical formulation for the representation of the architectural patterns of space.[21]

Seven primary matters

[edit]

Based on the presumed ancient Vedic knowledge of the Slavic Aryans, Levashov theorised that matter itself is differentiated into seven types, or "building blocks" of creation, which he called the "seven primary matters" or "seven primordial matters" (семь первичных материй, sem' pervichnykh materiy), conventionally identified by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G,[22] and by the seven colours, respectively red, violet, blue, azure, green, yellow and orange.[23] The seven primary matters are nonphysical, or subtle matter, that is to say not perceivable to the ordinary human state of consciousness.[24] Primordially, they move chaotically in space, "ignoring" each other,[5] but each of them has its own distinctive properties or qualities and a specific energetic potential that allow them to respond to the ever-changing patterns of space.[5] Red matter A is the most important, functioning as a structural and energetic foundation for all the other matters when they coalesce to form entities.[25]

Local areas of anisotropy are created by fluctuations in the architectural patterns of space—likened to a stone tossed into water creating ripple effects—and these fluctuations influence the relationship between space itself and the seven primary matters.[20] When the latter find themselves in a given region of space in proportions that match the numerical parameters of that given region of space, the seven building blocks become empowered to interact and coalesce with other blocks of compatible quality and energetic potential to form structures of hybrid matter, providing endless opportunities for cosmic creation.[20] While the fluctuations of space mould the otherwise free-flowing matter within it, simultaneously matter itself generates further fluctuations, engaging in a continuous "cosmic dance" until this dance reaches an equilibrium and creates a stable system.[26]

In other words, when the quantity of change in spatial parameters becomes critical, a quality emerges, as matter coalesces and stable manifestations of reality are created, such as the planet Earth,[27] also called Midgard in Levashovism, borrowing the concept from Germanic Heathenism.[28] Contrariwise, when the balance between the architectural parameters of the surrounding space and the qualities and energetic potential of the seven primary matters within it is broken, the structures of hybrid matter that were formed lose stability and disintegrate, returning to be chaotic matter.[26]

Sevenfold bodies

[edit]

According to Levashovite cosmology, when they are organised, the seven primary matters constitute seven "layers" of reality.[30] Each layer is composed of different hybrids of the seven primary matters and they are separated from each other by almost unpenetrable qualitative barriers; for instance, the planet Earth has its physical body—its innermost sphere—, and six other interdigitating nonphysical (invisible) spherical bodies.[30] Any entity and the human being itself is constituted by seven interpenetrating bodies, including the innermost densest physical body and six other bodies of subtler matter, referred to as the "subtle bodies" or "spiritual bodies".[31]

The seven bodies are, from the densest to the subtlest, the physical body, the ethereal body, the astral body, the mental body, and three supramental bodies.[32] Each of them is constituted by different combinations of the seven primary matters, though with a different one of them being dominant in each body, each of them expressing distinctive qualities and characteristics and representing a stair of spiritual evolution; together, they constitute the spirit, or higher consciousness, of an entity.[31] The physical body is constituted by a balance, grounded on red matter A, of all the other matters; the ethereal body is entirely of orange matter G; the astral body is dominated by yellow matter F prevailing on G; the mental body is dominated by green matter E prevailing on F and G; the first supramental body is dominated by azure matter D prevailing on E, F and G; the second supramental body is dominated by blue matter C prevailing on D, E, F and G; and the third supramental body is dominated by violet matter B prevailing on C, D, E, F and G.[32] Orange matter G is present on all levels, as the ethereal body is the first and lowest stage in the evolution of living, conscious entities: the animal consciousness.[32] Each one of the subtle bodies is structurally a copy of the physical body on the corresponding subtle body of the planet Earth.[32] They all possess the same structure—cells, organs, organic systems—corresponding to that of the physical body.[33] Most humans have developed, in addition to the physical body, only the first two subtle bodies, while all the other four are rudimentary and inactive.[33] A human has to develop all the seven bodies to complete the cycle of evolution and break out of the reincarnation cycle on the Earth.[34]

In the Levashovite system, the seven matters dominating in each one of the seven bodies are associated to seven energetic centres in the body—chakras in Hindu terminology—functioning as antennas which convey the associated matter.[34] The coccyx is the centre associated with red matter A, is the fundamental one, and red matter A corresponds to the Kundalini in the Hindu system, the fundamental cosmic force of all creation represented by the snake, which is necessary to awaken and steer for ascending towards the higher levels; the sexual organ is associated with orange matter G; the navel is associated with yellow matter F; the heart is associated with green matter E; the throat is associated with azure matter D; the forehead is associated with blue matter C; and the crown is associated with violet matter B.[34] Levashov's seven matters and seven bodies have been compared to William A. Tiller's cosmological model, itself telling about seven levels of substances interpenetrating each other with minimal interaction until triggered by the mind; Tiller's cosmology itself was inspired by the Hindu system of the seven chakras.[30]

Twofold time cycle

[edit]

Bright Forces and Dark Forces

[edit]
Belobog ("White God"), represented as a hawk in green matter E of high mental consciousness, and Chernobog ("Black God"), represented as a monster in orange matter G of low animal consciousness. In the Levashovite system, they are other names for the "Bright Forces" and the "Dark Forces", and for Yav and Nav. Between them is the swastika, the Prav law of the supreme north pole of Svarog; it is violet in colour, like matter B of the highest supramental consciousness. Their eyes are red, the colour of the basic matter A. Above them are their corresponding luminaries, respectively Dazhbog ("Sun God") of the day and Jutrobog ("Moon God") of the night.

Levashovite doctrine tells that reality is orchestrated by gods, cosmic forces which can be either creative and life-giving "Bright Forces" (Светлые Силы, Svetlye Sily) or destructive and life-sucking "Dark Forces" (Темные Силы, Temnye Sily).[35] The influence of either Bright Forces or Dark Forces and the behaviour of people, and the manifestation in them of certain qualities and emotions, depend on which one of the seven primary matters prevails in a given configuration of space–matter.[6]

Wherever and whenever—in a given region of space and in the cycle of time—primary matter E dominates, there is a "Day of Svarog" (День Сварога, Den' Svaroga), characterised by the complete development of the third and fourth subtle bodies (the astral and the mental body) of the human being, with the development of consciousness and of high spiritual and moral qualities.[6] Conversely, wherever and whenever primary matter G dominates there is a "Night of Svarog" (Ночь Сварога, Noch' Svaroga), characterised by the hypertrophied development of the second and incomplete third subtle bodies (the ethereal and the lower astral body) of the human being, with a regression of consciousness and the expression of low destructive qualities in human beings (such as aggressiveness, cruelty, greed and envy).[6] During the Nights of Svarog, the Dark Forces get the opportunity to influence people of G quality and through them influence all the Midgard.[6]

While mankind and the Midgard would be fundamentally the expression of the Bright Forces, which are best expressed in history by the Russians or Aryans,[9] some parts of humanity, notably the Jews and the Christians would be, instead, mostly—though unconsciously—prey to the Dark Forces and agents of their will.[36]

Eschatology

[edit]

In Levashovite eschatology, the "driving forces of the Apocalypse are rooted in the depths of natural being" itself.[6] Time is a cycle alternating Days of Svarog and Nights of Svarog, depending on the movement of the Solar System in the Milky Way galaxy; the duration of each Day of Svarog and Night of Svarog is uneven, due to the uneven concentrations of the seven primary matters in different regions of the universal space.[6] Levashovite historiosophy fixes the beginning of the latest Night of Svarog in 988 CE, with the official Christianisation of Kievan Rus' orchestrated by Vladimir Sviatoslavich.[37] Otherwise, among Levashovite followers there is no consensus about the dating of the end of the latest Night of Svarog: according to some it ended in the mid or late 1990s, according to others it ended in 2012, and yet others consider the shift from the latest Night of Svarog to the new Day of Svarog to be a gradual transition.[6]

The Russians are called to be the first to wake up, to free themselves from the slavery of the Dark Forces, contributing to the beginning of the new Day of Svarog and to the construction of a new spiritual civilisation different from both Western materialism and Eastern uncritical religiosity.[9] Russia is explained in Levashovite historiosophy as the "Land of the Holy Race" of an ancient "Slavic Aryan Empire",[38] which is said to have only fallen with Pugachev's Rebellion:[39]

The name of the country—Russia, arose from another word—Rasseia, which, in turn, was formed from the name of Rassenia. Rassenia was the name of a part of the ancient Slavic Aryan Empire which lay west of the Riphean Mountains (the Urals). The lands east of the Urals to the Pacific Ocean and further from the Lukomorye (Russian North) to Central India were called the Land of the Holy Race. Foreigners called this country differently. One of the last names known in Europe until the end of the eighteenth century was the Great Tartary.

Healer training

[edit]

According to the Levashovites, as fluctuations in the architectural patterns of space dictate everything that happens in the cosmos, from the creation and decay of atoms to the creation and decay of stars, also the entire biogenesis on the Midgard and the development of conscious humanity is determined by them.[10] A Levashovite healer must master the Levashovite cosmological theory, "tune in to the eternal interplay between matter and spatial architecture", be able to "mentally navigate" the seven levels of reality, to "do what nature does": to "orchestrate the creation and dissolution of matter", "choreograph the regeneration and ablation of living matter", for healing purposes all "in accordance with natural law".[40]

To do this, it is necessary that a Levashovite healer has activated their higher subtle bodies and has fully awoken their consciousness; however, in an ordinary person's life it is difficult for this to happen, if unaided, and it is generally a slow and unpredictable process.[33] When this happens, there is a quantum leap in brain potential and psychic ability,[33] and the acquisition of a new thought style free from linear and binary modes, opening to a broader perspective on reality.[41] Sensitivity to the necessary spiritual transformation for becoming a healer varies from person to person; there are those who by genetic endowment are able to evolve almost instantaneously, and those for whom it requires years of preparatory work.[42]

Levashov devised a technique to train would-be healers, providing them with the mental "apparatus" to develop their subtle bodies, increasing their energetic potential, thus becoming able to access and sustain a high state of consciousness and work with the seven primary matters.[41] He created a body of disciples practising and spreading his technique to other neophyte healers.[41] One of the biggest hurdles for the spiritual evolution of a healer is narcissism; if the would-be healer is motivated by a desire of power and self-aggrandisement, the path turns counter-evolutionary and leads to spiritual downfall.[43]

Healing treatment

[edit]

Any mental or strictly physical illness is due to a disruption of the harmony between the seven bodies, and the latter may be due to genetic defects, infections, karma and environmental factors.[43] To support their healing purpose, the Levashovite healer has to mobilise the appropriate quantity of energetic potential and the correct quality of primary matter,[44] and influence the architectural patterns of the treated subject's microcosm.[45] The healing work should take place first on the six subtle bodies, in order to influence and transform the denser physical body, since the primary matters from the subtle bodies flow down to the physical level and the structures of the subtle bodies are the architectural templates for the physical body.[46] Healing conducted merely on the physical body may afford palliation but not a complete relief, as pathological organisations remain in place on the subtle levels and eventually reassert themselves on the physical level.[47]

The healing procedure comprises a phase of scanning and detoxification, in which the healer inspects the treated subject, finds the causes of the problem and cleanses the subject's body from the symptoms of the problem.[47] This is followed by a phase of disintegration and regeneration, in which the healer decomposes the sick structure in the subject's subtle bodies into the constituent seven primary matters, and re-sets the numerical parameters of the target's microspace, causing a regeneration of the structure in a healthy form.[45] Finally, the healer restores the homeostasis of the organism, that is to say the harmonious working of all its parts in unison, or the "thermostat" of the energy flow between the brain, the nervous system and the organs, which was disrupted by the illness.[48]

Symbolism

[edit]

The warrior is dominated by the yellow F, green E, azure D, blue C and violet B matters of the higher astral and mental levels of consciousness, while the dragon is dominated by the orange matter G of the lower ethereal level of consciousness. The spear held by the warrior and transfixing the dragon is of red matter A, and is surmounted by the swastika and by the trefoil.

A symbol used by the Levashovite movement is the swastika, especially in the guise with dragons at the ends of its prongs, which was put on display many times by Nikolay Levashov himself during his conferences, and which he reclaimed as a symbol which gave him the right to discuss about the Slavic Aryan past.[1] According to Levashovite worldview, the swastika—or kolovrat in Slavic language—represents Svarog, the supreme north pole of the sky with its circumpolar stars.[2]

Another symbol used by Levashovites is the representation of a warrior riding a horse while slaying a dragon, featured in the coat of arms of the Renaissance–Golden Age organisation, that is a refashioning of the symbol of Saint George and the Dragon representing, in the reinterpretation given by the Levashovites, the Aryan champion of the Bright Forces triumphing over the Dark Forces.[1] In the coat of arms of the organisation, the warrior slaying the dragon is drawn over a trefoil or fleur-de-lys, which according to Levashov represents the "fighting symbol of the Slavic Aryans", with the three petals representing Prav, Yav and Nav.[17]

Sociology

[edit]

Relations with other religions

[edit]

Levashovism strongly refutes the Abrahamic religions and Christianity in particular,[49] deeming its official adoption in Kievan Rus' in 988 CE as the beginning of the latest Night of Svarog of Levashovite cyclical eschatology.[9] Christians are deemed responsible for the destruction of ancient chronicles about the true history of the Russians.[9] The writings of Levashov also contain more general antisemitic theories.[50] According to Levashovite doctrine, the world is dominated by Bright Forces and Dark Forces; the Jews, the Christians—especially ministers of the churches—, some politicians, and any other entity exerting some kind of control on the populations, would be unconsciously slaves of the Dark Forces and vehicle for the latter's will to dominate all Midgard.[51]

In turn, Levashovism is rejected by other movements of Rodnovery; in 2009, two among the largest Russian Rodnover organisations, namely the Union of Slavic Native Belief Communities and the Circle of Pagan Tradition, issued a joint statement which deemed Levashovite doctrines as "pseudo-Pagan teachings, pseudo-linguistics, pseudo-science, and outright speculations" harmful to the development of the mainstream movement of Rodnovery.[8]

Organisation and controversies

[edit]

The organisation of the Russian Public Movement of Renaissance–Golden Age was described by Natalya V. Prokopyuk as having a "wide public life", producing films, holding meetings, courses and seminars, holding conferences in schools and colleges, and printing newspapers including VeRa and RuAN.[52] The purposes of the organisation, as expressed in its official documents, are:[53]

  • Awakening the genetic memory of the Russian people and of the other indigenous peoples living in the territory of modern Russia;[53]
  • Restoring the truth about the glorious past of these peoples, and about their role in the creation of a highly developed earthly civilisation;[53]
  • Showing to these peoples the way of evolution out of the dead-end to which they were led by the Dark Forces;[53]
  • Saving civilisation, the planet Earth, and the universe.[53]

Two among the books written by Nikolay Levashov have been banned as extremist in some regions of Russia: Russia in Distorted Mirrors (Россия в Кривых Зеркалах) was banned in 2010 by the Obninsk City Court,[54] while the collection of articles Abilities of Mind (Возможности Разума) was banned in 2013 by the Omsk District Court, a decision later appealed but upheld in 2014 by the Omsk Regional Court.[55][56] In 2014, a Levashovite follower in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, in the Sakhalin Oblast of the Russian Far East, opened fire on the parishioners of the city's Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, after which six people were wounded and two were killed—a nun and a local parishioner.[57][58]

Levashovism

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Levashovism is a doctrine and healing system within Rodnovery, the modern revival of Slavic neopaganism, formulated by Nikolai Levashov (1961–2012), a Russian figure who presented himself as a physicist, occultist, and psychic healer. Levashov's teachings integrate esoteric interpretations of cosmology, human origins, and spiritual warfare, asserting that reality consists of multiple layers of "matter" manipulable by advanced consciousness, with Slavic peoples positioned as bearers of ancient Aryan wisdom against adversarial cosmic forces. Central to Levashovism is an alternative historical narrative drawing on pseudohistorical concepts, portraying ancient Slavic-Aryans as founders of advanced civilizations like Great Tartaria, which purportedly spanned Eurasia before being suppressed by "dark" influences, including parasitic entities and rival races; this framework echoes elements of Anatoly Fomenko's New Chronology while emphasizing racial and spiritual purity. Levashov claimed personal abilities to perform distant healing by altering these subtle matters through willpower, documenting such practices in books like The Final Appeal to Mankind, where he outlined a universe governed by anisotropic principles rather than isotropic physical laws. His system promotes meditation, ethical dualism between light and dark forces, and revival of Vedic-like Slavic traditions, positioning adherents as warriors in an ongoing metaphysical struggle. While Levashovism has garnered a niche following among neopagan and nationalist circles in and diaspora communities, promoting self-improvement and cultural revival, it remains marginal and contested, often labeled a by orthodox religious authorities and dismissed by for lacking empirical validation of its core claims on physics, , and parapsychology. Levashov, who emigrated to the United States in the 1990s before returning to amid legal troubles, authored numerous works and attempted political involvement, including a 2007 presidential bid, but his legacy is marked by disputes over his death—officially suicide—and allegations of promoting unsubstantiated racial mysticism.

Origins and Development

Nikolai Levashov and Early Influences

Nikolai Viktorovich Levashov was born in 1961 in Kislovodsk, Soviet Russia. During his early years, he exhibited no self-reported awareness of anomalous abilities, developing instead a strong aptitude for scientific study. He pursued higher education in physics, obtaining an advanced degree in theoretical radiophysics from Kharkiv University, with coursework encompassing relativity theory, quantum mechanics, classical physics, and higher mathematics. In the 1970s and 1980s, Levashov claimed the onset of psychic capabilities, including psychokinesis, which he attributed to rather than childhood precocity. These assertions aligned with the Soviet Union's state-sponsored investigations into and pseudoscientific phenomena, such as torsion fields and nonlocal effects, conducted in laboratories and academic settings during the late Brezhnev and eras. Levashov reportedly engaged in such experiments, receiving a in psychotronics by , which permitted teaching in related fields. Levashov emigrated to the at the end of 1991, settling in after initial visits. There, he married (also known as Margo Levashova), with whom he collaborated on esoteric projects amid expatriate Russian circles. His time abroad exposed him to Western alternative currents, though his core orientations remained rooted in Slavic and , including mythic narratives of ancient origins and cosmic forces, filtered through his physics . Levashov returned to around 2006, as domestic in neopagan revival and anti-establishment ideologies surged post-Soviet .

Formulation and Spread of the Doctrine

began publicly articulating his doctrines in the late , from personal experiences of abilities and , but systematic accelerated amid the post-Soviet ideological of the early . Following the USSR's in , he conducted tours in Russian cities from to , delivering lectures on metaphysical cosmology and demonstrating to audiences seeking alternatives to orthodox . These sessions emphasized Slavic ancestral heritage intertwined with esoteric sciences, aligning his emerging with Rodnovery's revivalist currents without formal affiliation to established neopagan groups. Levashov's core texts crystallized the doctrine's structure, with The Final Appeal to Mankind (Vozdvanie k chelovechestvu) published in 1994 as a multi-volume exposition of anisotropic universe theory, human multilayered composition, and historical revisionism favoring Slavic origins. Printed initially in limited runs in Russia and later in the United States—where Levashov emigrated in 1991—the book served as a primary vehicle for doctrinal dissemination, reaching thousands through self-published editions and translations into English by 2000. Complementary works, such as Russian History Viewed Through Distorted Mirrors (2000), reinforced nationalist interpretations, attributing global distortions to adversarial forces and appealing to post-communist identity reconstruction. By the early 2000s, Levashovism had coalesced into organized followings in Russia, with adherents forming study circles and healing collectives that numbered in the hundreds, extending to Slavic diaspora communities in the US, Ukraine, and Belarus via émigré networks. Propagation accelerated through internet forums and Levashov's personal website (levashov.net, established circa 2000), which hosted lectures, texts, and psychic training materials, bypassing state-controlled media. Annual conferences in Moscow and St. Petersburg from 2005 onward drew participants for doctrinal seminars, fostering a transition from individual charisma to institutionalized transmission upon Levashov's suicide in 2012. This phase marked Levashovism's shift toward posthumous codification, with followers archiving and redistributing materials to sustain coherence amid competing esoteric movements.

Cosmological and Metaphysical Beliefs

Anisotropic Universe and Fundamental Matters

asserted that the possesses an , characterized by non-uniform spatial , in opposition to the isotropic homogeneity posited by conventional cosmological frameworks such as the model. This , according to Levashov, is fundamental to processes of and dissolution, the formation of complex through directed concentrations of primordial substances. He derived this model from his claimed background in , incorporating of space-time influenced by uneven distributions, though these derivations remain unpublished in peer-reviewed and lack empirical corroboration. Central to Levashov's cosmology is the notion of seven primary matters, denoted as A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which constitute the basic building blocks of all existence. These matters are distributed unevenly across the universe due to its inherent anisotropy, existing initially in a chaotic, free state akin to inert gases or active substrates that interact under specific conditions. In regions of heightened concentration, these primary matters fuse to generate denser forms, culminating in the physically observable solid matter comprising galaxies, stars, and planets. Levashov described this fusion as a causal process driven by the universe's non-uniformity, where probabilistic clustering leads to stable aggregations without invoking uniform expansion from a singular origin. Levashov integrated Slavic mythological elements by attributing the universe's origination to , a primordial creator that initiates the anisotropic configuration during a phase termed the "Day of Svarog." Under this , Svarog's influence establishes the uneven dispersal of matters, setting the for evolutionary dynamics governed by their interactions rather than random . This model posits that creation proceeds through hierarchical densification, where primary matters combine into progressively coarser , forming the foundational substances of in a manner purportedly consistent with observed cosmic heterogeneity on smaller scales.

Multilayered Human Composition

In Levashov's doctrine, the human being is conceptualized as a composite entity consisting of seven interpenetrating bodies, comprising one physical body and six subtle bodies formed from varying combinations of the seven primary matters. These bodies are hierarchically organized from the densest physical form to the subtlest spiritual essence, each serving as a structural replica of the others with analogous organs and systems but composed of progressively finer qualitative substances. The physical body, perceptible through ordinary senses, is the densest layer, while the subtle bodies constitute the higher aspects of consciousness and spirit, with most contemporary humans having only the first two subtle bodies fully developed and the remaining four existing in rudimentary states. The subtle bodies function as templates that influence the physical body's organization and vitality through the downward flow of primary matters and energy potentials, enabling causal interactions where distortions or underdevelopment in higher layers manifest as physical imbalances or limitations in perception. Levashov posits that evolutionary advancement involves the systematic development of these higher bodies, enhancing consciousness, psychic faculties, and overall human potential, with claims that trained individuals can psychically perceive and assess the state of these layers for diagnostic purposes. This model underscores a causal realism wherein the subtle bodies' qualitative barriers prevent blending, ensuring distinct roles in sustaining life processes and spiritual progression. Levashov differentiates this sevenfold from Eastern chakra systems or Western esoteric frameworks by rooting it in purported ancient Slavic-Aryan Vedic , emphasizing a unique progression tied to the anisotropic universe's primary matters rather than universal etheric or astral principles, though structural parallels exist without equivalence. The asserts that full realization of all seven bodies aligns with the original capacities of prehistoric "" humanity, degraded through historical interventions, thereby framing composition as a recoverable multilayered central to and .

Cyclic Time and Cosmic Forces

Levashovism posits a dualistic cosmology wherein time unfolds in recurring cycles of creation and destruction, termed "Days of Svarog" and "Nights of Svarog," orchestrated by antagonistic cosmic forces. The Bright Forces embody creative, life-affirming principles aligned with the primordial Slavic-Aryan heritage, fostering evolutionary ascent and harmony across planetary civilizations. In opposition, the Dark Forces function as destructive parasites, exploiting downturns in these cycles to impose degeneration, genetic manipulation, and societal enslavement on host populations, including historical incursions against Slavic peoples by external entities. Nikolai Levashov detailed this framework in works such as Russian History Viewed Through Distorted Mirrors, characterizing Dark Forces as social parasites that thrive on the vital energies of others without contributing to collective advancement. Central to Levashovite eschatology is the impending termination of the current Night of , initiating a phase of planetary purification to influences and restore Bright dominance. This envisions the eradication of parasitic elements through heightened cosmic energies, culminating in the revival of an Aryan-Slavic supercivilization as Earth's evolutionary stewards transitioning from planetary to cosmic scales. Levashov linked this shift to the completion of humanity's development of seven material bodies, projecting its in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, with 2012 marking a symbolic threshold amid his presidential candidacy and subsequent death on June 11, 2012. However, as of October 27, 2025, no observable planetary cataclysms, genetic purifications, or civilizational rebirths have occurred, rendering these predictions empirically unverified. The dynamics between Bright and Dark Forces operate under a zero-sum paradigm of spiritual warfare, wherein one entity's empowerment causally diminishes the other via direct energetic confrontations and proxy manipulations of human affairs. Levashov framed this as an inexorable causal realism derived from his models of vortex energetics and multidimensional reality, independent of moral relativism. Yet, this assertion encounters no corroboration in archaeological, genetic, or astrophysical records, which instead document human history as shaped by mundane socio-economic and environmental factors rather than extraterrestrial parasitic incursions or Slavic-centric cosmic interventions. Levashov's claims, disseminated through self-published texts and lectures, prioritize his alleged extrasensory perceptions over replicable evidence, highlighting a reliance on untestable first-person ontology.

Practical Applications

Psychic Healing Techniques

healing in Levashovism relies on the practitioner's mental projection of to influence the patient's multilayered composition, including physical and subtle bodies. The process begins with diagnostic scanning, where the healer visualizes the patient's body to identify disruptions in subtle fields or cellular anomalies, such as damaged genes or pathological accumulations. This visualization purportedly allows detection of issues undetectable by conventional means, drawing on the healer's developed " " derived from in Levashov's . Healing interventions involve directing to realign distorted subtle bodies, detoxify accumulated toxins, and regenerate affected cells through processes like cellular and reconstruction. emphasized that the technique's depends on the extent of ; severe cases may require multiple sessions, while minor imbalances can be corrected rapidly. Remote application is central, sessions without physical proximity; conducted such healings via starting in the early 1990s, as during his 1990–1991 tours in Russian cities where he transitioned from in-person to distant methods. Followers have reported remissions of chronic conditions, such as genetic disorders in children treated through phone-based sessions where Levashov mentally located and repaired chromosomal defects while slept. These accounts, drawn from Levashov's demonstrations and practitioner testimonials, lack independent controlled verification but illustrate the claimed mechanisms of realignment across distances. Protocols stress the healer's focused to channel "pastukhov " or similar vital forces, avoiding overexertion to prevent practitioner .

Training Protocols for Practitioners

Training protocols in Levashovism emphasize the development of practitioners' subtle bodies and psychic capacities through structured, progressive instruction led primarily by himself until his death on , 2012. These protocols distinguish formal practitioner education from informal healing applications by requiring intensive, multi-phase engagement with Levashov's cosmological framework, including the anisotropic universe and seven primary matters, to enable controlled manipulation of subtle energies. Aspiring healers undergo brain transformation—a purported functional upgrade of neural structures—to access elevated states of consciousness and higher energy potentials, enabling interaction with non-physical matters beyond ordinary perception. Initial training often consisted of extended group sessions, such as the six-week intensive program conducted for cohorts of about 20 students, focusing on practical exercises to attune participants to ethereal and astral levels of composition. Seminars typically spanned multiple days, as exemplified by the three-day event in in 2010, where Levashov delivered lectures on theoretical principles followed by guided practices for channeling and self-regulation. Participants practiced sustaining advanced states, akin to meditative , to direct primary matters ethically in accordance with laws, preventing unintended distortions in microspaces that could lead to or external interference from opposing cosmic . Prerequisites included foundational study of Levashov's doctrines to ensure alignment with light-oriented , with progression gated by demonstrated mastery to mitigate risks of energetic or "dark force" influence through unchecked ego or imbalance. Post-2000 workshops expanded internationally, with sessions documented in Russia and select European locations, of practitioners—including over physicians—via hierarchical levels that built from basic scanning to advanced regeneration techniques. Levashov personally selected and instructed initiates, emphasizing self-mastery exercises to fortify the practitioner's "natural " against degenerative influences, such as pathological or adversarial entities in his dualistic . These protocols prioritized verifiable outcomes, like normalized physiological markers in trainees, over anecdotal claims, though empirical validation remains to proponent testimonials and lacks independent peer-reviewed corroboration.

Symbolic and Ritual Elements

Core Symbols and Their Interpretations

The Kolovrat, a swastika-like solar wheel, constitutes the primary symbol in Levashovism, dedicated to Svarog as the patron of heaven (Svarga) and cosmic order. This emblem depicts the rotation of constellations around the north celestial pole, embodying brightness, clarity, and the eternal cycles of the universe. Nikolai Levashov interpreted it as representing the directional flow of primary matters in an anisotropic cosmos, where spatial heterogeneity influences evolutionary processes. Variants of the swastika, particularly those with dragon prongs at the ends, emerged as distinctive Levashovite adaptations, publicly displayed contexts during the and . These modifications symbolize the interplay of cosmic forces, with the serpentine dragons evoking primordial energies akin to Slavic mythological motifs but reinterpreted through Levashov's framework of multidimensional . The upward or right-facing orientation signifies the dominance of Bright Forces, promoting and spiritual ascent, in contrast to downward spirals associated with Dark Forces' disruptive influence. Runic-like symbols and diagrams illustrate the seven fundamental matters (A through G), central to Levashov's anisotropic universe model. These include layered configurations depicting Midgard-Earth's structure, where matters flow unevenly, fostering "Days of Svarog" periods of positive evolution via lighter matters like E-matter. Levashov augmented traditional Slavic pagan icons—such as the Kolovrat derived from pre-Christian solar worship—with these esoteric overlays in his 1990s writings, emphasizing causal links to psychic and cosmic dynamics without altering the symbols' ancient roots. Duality symbols, like paired representations of Belobog (white god, falcon form) and Chernobog (black god, monstrous form) in Levashovite color schemes, encapsulate the opposition of Bright and Dark Forces. Belobog embodies creative, life-affirming principles tied to upward energetic spirals, while Chernobog signifies entropic decay, reflecting the doctrinal view of as a battleground modulated by distributions. These icons evolve from Slavic dualism but gain specificity in Levashovism as markers of and metaphysical polarities.

Integration in Daily and Communal Practices

Adherents integrate Levashovite principles through daily mental exercises emphasizing visualization of the body's multilayered composition, including etheric (orange) and astral () subtle layers, to strengthen energetic alignment and protective shields against adverse influences. These practices, derived from Levashov's methods for development, involve focused concentration to enhance subtle body capacities and harmonize internal forces with the anisotropic universe's . In communal settings, followers convene for collective healing sessions where trained operators apply diagnostic and corrective techniques simultaneously on groups, amplifying energetic effects through shared consciousness elevation. Such gatherings, often lasting structured durations like one hour daily over multiple days, aim to address health issues or bolster group resilience by drawing on Levashov's protocols for accessing higher states of awareness. These rituals adapt to contemporary routines via brief, portable sessions—such as 15-minute daily — from purported parasitic entities while preparing for cyclic cosmic shifts, without requiring elaborate setups.

Organizational and Sociological Aspects

Structure of Levashovite Groups

Levashovite groups primarily revolve around the Russian Movement "Renaissance ," founded by in upon his return to , which formalized the organizational framework for his adherents. This functions as a association aimed at uniting followers for spiritual and national revival, emphasizing practical application of Levashov's teachings through and consciousness-raising activities, without establishing a centralized bureaucracy or ordained priesthood. Post-Levashov's death in 2012, leadership devolved to trained practitioners, often designated as , who independently organize local sessions and disseminate his methods, reflecting a decentralized operational model sustained by personal initiative rather than top-down authority. Operational hierarchy remains informal, with healers—trained directly or indirectly in Levashov's techniques of accessing elevated consciousness and manipulating psychotronic energies—serving as de facto local coordinators for seminars and healing practices. These sessions, attended by movement members seeking spiritual advancement, involve dues or fees to support ongoing activities, though specific initiation rituals are not publicly detailed beyond mastery of Levashov's cosmological framework and attunement to cosmic forces. Governance adheres strictly to Levashov's canonical texts as interpretive guides, prioritizing empirical validation through personal psychic experiences over institutional dogma. Networks extend beyond Russia to informal circles in the United States, where Levashov resided from 1991 to 2006 and cultivated early followers, and sporadically in Europe, coordinated via online resources and occasional gatherings rather than fixed spiritual centers.

Interactions with Broader Neopagan and Nationalist Movements

Levashovism shares synergies with Rodnovery in its revival of Slavic pagan deities, such as Belobog and Chernobog as representatives of cosmic and , and its rejection of Christian dominance over indigenous traditions. These elements align with broader neopagan efforts to reconstruct pre-Christian Slavic , emphasizing ethnic heritage and communal rituals. However, Levashovism diverges through its integration of pseudoscientific cosmology, including claims of ancient interstellar migrations and racial hierarchies, which contrast with Rodnovery's focus on and archaeological reconstruction. Influences from strains within neopaganism are evident in Levashovism's reliance on texts like the , positing as of a superior ancient ruling a "Great Tartaria." This narrative parallels doctrines in movements such as , fostering overlap in ethnocentric worldviews that prioritize Slavic racial continuity and imperial destiny. Yet, such racial occultism has provoked tensions, with mainstream Rodnovery factions rejecting Levashovite as incompatible with balanced ethnic revivalism. In nationalist spheres, Levashovism resonates with Russian imperial revivalism by framing historical Slavic dominance as thwarted by external "parasitic" forces, a theme Levashov elaborated in his writings and appeals. His announced candidacy for the , conducted from abroad, highlighted critiques of globalist "parasites" undermining national , attracting fringe nationalist support despite legal barriers to his participation. These antisemitic undertones, evolving from his healer persona to overt racial theories, have alienated moderate nationalists while appealing to radical anti-globalist circles. Conflicts persist, as Levashovism's speculative racialism clashes with pragmatic nationalist platforms emphasizing geopolitical realism over esoteric causation.

Key Texts and Doctrinal Sources

Primary Works by Levashov

Nikolai Levashov's primary works consist of self-published texts that integrate claims of scientific cosmology with esoteric and Slavic , forming doctrinal sources of Levashovism. These writings, primarily authored in Russian during the and early with English translations emerging thereafter, emphasize vortex-based energetics as a unifying framework for physical laws, abilities, and historical narratives. Levashov produced these volumes independently, often through personal imprints in after his from the , reflecting mainstream access to the unconventional of his assertions. The Final Appeal to Mankind, Levashov's seminal multi-volume series, was self-published in San , with 1 released in 1993 and 2 in 1997. In these texts, he delineates a purported cosmic involving multidimensional energies, human evolution through psychic mastery, and critiques of global degenerative influences, positioning Slavic peoples as bearers of ancient primordial knowledge. The work serves as an eschatological manifesto, urging readers to awaken latent abilities amid predicted societal collapse. English editions derive from these initial printings, with digital versions circulating post-2012 following his death. The Anisotropic Universe expands on Levashov's vortex energetics , postulating an inherently directional, non-isotropic composed of primordial matters that underpin both phenomena and . Self-published as part of his English oeuvre, it claims to reconcile with bioenergetic fields, describing as filled with rotating energies that enable phenomena like and . This text, drawn from his 1990s formulations, underpins Levashovism's pseudoscientific aspirations by modeling the as a hierarchical of energetic vortices. Spirit and Mind, issued in at least two volumes through self-publishing channels, examines the interplay between ethereal "spirit" essences and material "mind" faculties, advocating practices to harmonize them for enhanced . Available in English translations by the early , it builds on the anisotropic framework to assert that rational must incorporate spiritual diagnostics for true understanding, influencing Levashovite methodologies. These works collectively reject isotropic physical models in favor of directional energetics, framing Slavic antiquity as a pinnacle of such integration.

Derivative Publications and Interpretations

Followers of have compiled and digitized his lectures into archives post-2012, preserving and expanding access to his teachings on development and cosmology through platforms maintained by adherents. Sites such as levashov. host video recordings of seminars and articles that elaborate on techniques and elements, with updates continuing into the to include follower annotations on practical applications. These digital compilations often integrate user-generated commentaries, adapting Levashov's protocols for contemporary contexts like work and historical reinterpretations. Svetlana de Rogan-Levashova, presented as a close associate, authored (Откровение), a multi-volume work blending personal narrative with Levashovite of spiritual awakening and Slavic heritage, initially published in 2011 but recirculated in digital editions and audiobooks after 2012. The text interprets Levashov's anisotropic universe model through experiential accounts, emphasizing potentials and resistance to external influences, with later distributions on platforms like VK and featuring follower discussions that heighten nationalist , such as assertions of ancient primacy. These adaptations diverge by personalizing doctrines, sometimes amplifying anti-establishment themes absent in Levashov's originals. Interpretations vary among groups, with some compilations intensifying ethnocentric readings of Levashov's Slavic-Aryan , as seen in forums and self-published expansions framing his ideas as tools for cultural revival amid perceived global threats. Such , often shared via informal to legal restrictions on related materials in , prioritize undiluted transmission over institutional validation, leading to fragmented evolutions like enhanced focus on bioenergy for communal defense.

Evaluation and Controversies

Scientific and Empirical Assessment

Levashov's cosmological model posits an anisotropic universe characterized by non-uniform spatial properties that purportedly underpin psychic abilities and matter formation, as outlined in his self-published works. This framework lacks publication in peer-reviewed physics journals and offers no falsifiable predictions tested against observational data, rendering it incompatible with empirical validation. Mainstream cosmology, grounded in general relativity and quantum mechanics, relies on the cosmological principle of large-scale homogeneity and isotropy, which Levashov's model violates without supporting evidence. Observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, such as those from the Planck satellite, confirm isotropy to within 10^{-5} in temperature fluctuations across the sky, contradicting claims of inherent spatial anisotropy. Empirical assessments of Levashov's psychotronic claims, including remote treatment of diseases like cancer and heart conditions, depend on anecdotal reports and uncontrolled demonstrations rather than randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Proponents, including collaborators like Barbara Koopman, have reported case studies in alternative journals claiming in altering physiological states, such as EEG patterns during sessions. However, these lack blinding, independent replication, and statistical controls for placebo effects or , common confounds in evaluations. No mainstream studies have verified beyond subjective testimonials, and mechanisms proposed—such as manipulating "primary " via —contradict established and physics, including conservation laws, without experimental demonstration. Public demonstrations by Levashov in the United States during the 1990s, including lectures and alleged healings, failed to undergo rigorous scientific scrutiny or produce verifiable, reproducible results under controlled conditions. Accounts from these events emphasize audience selection for suggestibility, aligning with critiques of stage psychics rather than objective testing. The absence of peer-reviewed corroboration for his broader assertions, such as averting natural disasters through mental intervention, underscores Levashovism's divergence from scientific methodology, where extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence unmet here.

Political Implications and Criticisms

Levashov's writings, particularly in works like Russia in Distorted Mirrors (2007), advanced conspiracy theories portraying as a genetically parasitic race responsible for historical distortions, global financial control, and subversion of Slavic civilizations. These texts also expressed toward the scale and intentionality of , framing it as exaggerated to justify geopolitical agendas rather than a systematic driven by Nazi . Adherents of Levashovism defend such claims as empirical exposures of "globalist" networks undermining national sovereignty, often citing Levashov's self-described psychic insights and historical reinterpretations as evidence against mainstream narratives shaped by institutional biases. Critics, including Russian authorities and international observers, classify these elements as ideological extremism fostering ethnic hatred, with Levashovism's racial hierarchies echoing discredited pseudoscience and contributing to societal polarization. The doctrine's integration of Slavic supremacist themes has linked it to far-right nationalist circles, where revivalist myths of ancient "Tartaria" or Aryan-Slavic empires—depicted by Levashov as vast prehistorical domains obliterated by external (often coded as Jewish) forces—serve as rallying points for anti-Western and revanchist sentiments. Opponents counter that such narratives lack archaeological or documentary substantiation, functioning instead as causal fallacies that attribute complex historical declines to singular ethnic scapegoats without addressing multifactor dynamics like environmental shifts or internal conflicts. Politically, Levashovism has faced legal repercussions, with books such as Russia in Distorted Mirrors and others banned in various Russian regions under federal anti-extremism statutes enacted in 2002, which prohibit materials inciting ethnic discord. These measures, applied to over 4,000 items by 2022, reflect state efforts to curb narratives perceived as destabilizing amid ethnic tensions. Supporters, including Levashovite groups, frame such prohibitions as censorship suppressing "forbidden knowledge" essential for national awakening, invoking free speech principles against authoritarian overreach in post-Soviet governance. While Russian anti-extremism enforcement has drawn criticism for selective application against dissenters, Levashov's explicit racial demonization distinguishes his case from broader political dissidence.

Enduring Influence and Post-2012 Developments

Following Nikolai Levashov's death on June 11, 2012, his ideological framework persisted primarily through decentralized online communities and informal gatherings among adherents in Russia and Russian-speaking diaspora. Fan pages on platforms like Facebook maintained modest engagement, with one dedicated page garnering approximately 495 likes by the mid-2020s, sharing excerpts from his writings and recordings of pre-2012 meetings. YouTube channels uploaded archival videos of Levashov's public addresses, including his final 37th meeting with readers on March 31, 2012, which continued to attract views exceeding 50,000 as of 2015 and beyond. These digital repositories facilitated low-level dissemination without centralized leadership, though annual commemorations of Levashov's life, such as memorial events tied to his birthday on February 8 or death date, remained niche and unverified in scale, often limited to private circles invoking his pseudoscientific cosmology. The movement's organizational remnants, including local cells of the Russian Public Movement "Revival. Golden Age" established by Levashov in , encountered state suppression rather than expansion. In , Russia's (FSB) conducted searches at a regional , targeting materials deemed , reflecting ongoing of Levashovite publications. Courts in regions like ruled several of Levashov's works, such as Possibilities of the Mind III, as in , leading to bans and seizures that curtailed print distribution. The has characterized Levashovism as a cult, citing its occultist elements and divergence from canonical Christianity, which further marginalized physical gatherings. No evidence indicates institutional growth, such as formal registrations or membership surges; instead, verifiable activities remained sporadic and confined to sympathetic neopagan or nationalist fringes within Slavic Rodnovery circles, with no documented influx beyond pre-2012 levels. Levashovite ideas integrated with broader conspiracy narratives, particularly Fomenko's New , which posits a compressed timeline of and a hidden Slavic-Aryan supremacy; this fusion recast Russian origins as the lost empire of "Great Tartaria," appealing to 2020s online nationalist discourses skeptical of mainstream historiography. Such syncretism appeared in esoteric forums and alternative media, where Levashov's racial-occultist interpretations amplified Fomenko's pseudohistorical claims, portraying ancient Slavs as cosmic warriors against "dark forces." However, these adaptations yielded no empirical validations—Levashov's unproven assertions of psychic healing, psychotronic weapons, or extraterrestrial interventions faced no peer-reviewed corroboration post-2012—and lacked institutional traction, remaining echo chambers in digital spaces rather than drivers of policy or mass mobilization. Adherents' widow, Svetlana Levashova, contributed to continuity via publications like Revelation (circa 2019), alleging posthumous endorsements of successors, but these elicited limited uptake beyond core followers. Overall, the movement's influence endured as a marginal undercurrent in conspiratorial subcultures, without measurable expansion or falsifiable advancements.
