== History ==
[[File:Ilya Lazarenko 1992.jpg|180px|thumb|{{ill|Lazarenko, Ilya Viktorovich|ru|Лазаренко, Илья Викторович}}, 1992]]
While under investigation for inciting ethnic hatred, Lazarenko broke with [[Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodoxy]], which he had previously professed, and in 1996, under the influence of the founder of esoteric Hitlerism: [[Miguel Serrano]]{{sfn|Likhachev|2003|p=223}} organized the "Navi Society"{{sfn|Shnirelman|2012|p=}}.
The society was specially founded on Hitler's birthday. The first ritual was performed in [[Equinox|the day of the autumnal equinox]] in 1996 at the site of the ancient {{ill|Dyakovo Gorodishche|ru|Дьякова городища}} in Kolomenskoye (Moscow). On April 20, 1997, in the vicinity of the Semyonovskaya metro station (Moscow), followers of the Society performed secret ceremonies in honor of the "beginning of the era of the white man", dedicated to Hitler's birthday.
Later, Lazarenko moved away from neo-pagan activities, and the "Navi Society" ceased
their existence. In 2005, he repented and returned to Orthodoxy, preserving his ideological orientation.
== Teachings ==
The basics of the Society's teachings are set forth in the "Book of Na'vi" compiled by Ilya Lazarenko in the late 1990s. The ritual component was not disclosed. Religious ideology is largely based on the texts of [[Miguel Serrano]]{{sfn|Likhachev|2001|p=151}}.
The "Navi Society" is based on the worship of two supposedly ancient Slavic gods [[Prav-Yav-Nav]]. The teaching of the Society is a synthesis of pagan Slavic beliefs with Indo-Aryan (Vedic) and Zoroastrian beliefs{{sfn|New religious cults|1998|p=119}}{{sfn|Kulikov|2000|p=86-87}}. According to Lazarenko, the Na'vi Society is based on Ariosophy, "the religion of white people that has nothing to do with Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other religions that glorify the creator god." "[[White people]]" Lazarenko identified only with Russians{{sfn|Shnirelman|2012|c=}}.
By Navya, the followers of the movement understood "the primordial spiritual principle," "the ideal spiritual world." Followers of the movement called themselves adherents of "Nordic Slavic mythology." Lazarenko also spoke of the "pagan Gnosticism" that God allegedly brought to the "white man" [[Veles (god)|Veles]]. Lazarenko's goal was to revive the "most ancient Nordic cult" or "Ariosophy," which he viewed as the prerogative of the "higher castes," the "religion of strong-willed people," who, according to the founder, should rule the lower castes. Lazarenko called Orthodoxy "a religion for the flock." The Society's teachings were elitist. It was desirable for the followers of the Society to communicate only with people of the "superior white race", or "[[Hyperborea|Hyperborean]]] [[Übermensch|God-man]]"{{sfn|Shnirelman|2012|c=}}.
The racial principle was reduced to the ethnic aspect. The teachings of the Society forbade Russians to have sexual intercourse and [[interethnic marriage|marriages with representatives of other ethnic groups]]. At the same time, Lazarenko distanced himself from any national idea and called for "religious-political unity." "There is no Russian nation now, there is a Russian-speaking rabble." One of the goals of the movement was [[Ableism|extermination of people with "physical deformity"]]. The Society's teachings included racism and anti-Semitism. One of the main enemies of the Society was Christianity, which was considered a tool [[Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory]] against the heirs of the "light gods." Followers of the Society were actively engaged in sports in order to prepare for the struggle for "Aryan ideals"{{sfn|Schnirelman|2012|c=}}.
The dress code and rituals were similar to those of [[Ku Klux Klan]]] {{sfn|New Religious Cults|1998|p=119}}{{sfn|Kulikov|2000|p=86-87}}. One of the main attributes of the Society's supporters was armbands with [[Swastika]]. [[Novgorod cross|Novgorod]] ([[Celtic cross|Celtic]]]) a cross with a swastika inscribed in it, [[Runes|runic]]] inscriptions, a ram's skull and {{ill|Balmung|ru|Бальмунг}} {{sfn|Schnirelman|2012|c=}} were also used.
