Summary/Abstract: The article presents an analysis of non-scientific histories of the Slavs – most commonly found on the internet and rooted in anti-Slavic (non-scientific Judeo-Christian) conspiracies – from the perspective of historical and cultural psychology. The narratives presented include those of the ancient (Aryan) origins of the Slavs and the erasure from historical memory of a Slavic great power, which are used to support arguments such as amateur linguistic and historical interpretations. The mechanisms for constructing these narratives reflect the ethno-national identity of their creators.
