about
The basis of the "Zmok" was taken from an old Ukrainian song of an ancient dialect. Zmok means dragon in Slavic folklore and retells the most common in the Indo-European culture myth of the serpent − the symbol of the world's waters.
The pagan text of the song was probably not much changed by the christianity, at least latter in the text appeared three verses of foreign origin with an orthodox happy end. They were not included in our version. The original version was taken from a field recordings of ethnographers in the 1960s.
