"Warrior's blessing" by Andrey Shishkin
Slavic fantasy (Russian: Славянское фэнтези, Polish: Fantasy słowiańska) is a sub-genre of contemporary art (fantasy literature,[1] cinema,[2] video games,[3] visual arts) that developed in the late 90s and early 2000s.[4][5] Slavic fantasy is distinguished by the incorporation of Slavic folklore, legends, bylinas, and myths into the general canons of fantasy literature.[6] However, its genre boundaries remain indistinct.[7]
A kind of fantasy genre in modern Russian mass literature, which has a certain specificity is fairy tale-mythological and adventure prose. Occasionally the term "Russian fantasy" is used as a synonym for Slavic fantasy, although the former phrase is more often used to refer to any fantasy written in Russian.[4]
The Slavic fantasy also exists outside Russia. A major example of that genre outside Russia is the Polish fantasy series The Witcher.
