Since 2023 I am a postgraduate student of German and Slavic Studies, the double
degree programme of Faculty of Arts of Charles University, Prague and the Sapienza
University of Rome.
My Ph.D. thesis: “The Image of the Goddess in the Caucasian Pantheon” follows on
previous research, published in the paper: “Relicts of Archaic Religions on Caucasus
and the Importance of Foreigners as Fertility and Eroticism Deities in Isolated
Populations Culture” (Oriens Aliter, 2/2021, p. 71 – 111, published by the Charles
University in Prague, Czech Republic in co-operation with the Precarpathian National
University of Vasyl Stefanyk in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine.).
Between 1999 – 2013 I attended caucasology classes of Dr. Vaclav Cerny, first at
Faculty of Arts of Charles University, later in home seminar in his flat.
I visited various communities of pagan mountaineers (saq’mo) on Caucasus in 2000
and 2007.
In 2017 I presented paganism of northeast Georgian mountanieers (Djvarism) at the
Academy of Fine Arts in Prague (Intermediate Studies II, school of Dusan
Zahoransky and Pavla Scerankova).
In the summer semester 2024, I am giving two lecture series at the Faculty of Arts:
Jvarism: Last Live Traditonal Pagan Religion in Europe (13 lessons)
Contribution of Danubian Region to Evolution of European Culture (13 lessons)
