Halyna Lozko

In 1993, Lozko founded the Kiev-based Slavic Native Faith group Pravoslavia. This was Ukraine's first post-Soviet neopagan organization in the polytheistic tradition that first had been established in the interwar period by Volodymyr Shaian (1908 – 1974). During the Cold War, Ukrainian Native Faith had mainly been carried on by the Ukrainian diaspora in the West, and Lozko was initiated by Myroslav Sytnyk in Hamilton, Canada. She has also launched projects such as the Svitovyd Center for the Rebirth of Ukrainian Culture, the School of the Native Faith, the Museum of the Book of Veles (1996–1998) and the journal Svaroh. She co-founded the Native Faith Association of Ukraine (Об'єднання Рідновірів Україн, ORU) in 1998, to coordinate activities between different local groups. ORU was officially registered as a pagan religious organization in 2001. It has made an effort to establish a comprehensive system for regular calender ritualism. It has also been active in the neopagan interfaith activities of the European Congress of Ethnic Religions.
