The cult of warrior saints in Kyivan Rus’

Abstract

miraculous is essentially absent. Mythical images are always symbols, the simulacrum is a system of signs that disguise the lack of what they should indicate. The myth is always existential, while the essence of the simulacrum is the veil, but along with this it is a sign that indicates or may indicate the one who need to create a simulacrum. In order to be able to create a simulacrum, it was necessary to radically change the people's state of mind, first of all, to convince them in the primary basic reality of matter. The myth is an ideal construct, deployed in space and time, the nature of which allows to create a holistic, effectively functioning, natural and social organism. The simulacrum, using the magic creative power, laid down in the nature of the Word (language), forms the necessary social mechanism for it, but not an organism. The inherent myth of the laws of the miraculous, absolute logic Imagination actually acts in the reality of the modern Western man, however, the it is successfully hidden in simulacrum pseudo-reality. The political myth in fact is not a myth -it's a pure simulacrum in the Baudrillard sense of this term.
