Volkhv
Volkhvs (Волхвы, Volkhvy; singular: Volkhv, Волхв) were priests in pre-Christian Rus’. Volkhvs were believed to possess mystical powers, particularly the ability to predict the future. The first literary reference to a volkhv occurs in the Primary Chronicle under the year 912; there, the priest-soothsayer predicts Prince Oleg's death. With the adoption of Christianity, the pagan priests came under persecution and sometimes tried to channel social discontent against the church.〔http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages\V\O\VolkhvIT.htm〕 Volkhvs were targets of the witch-hunts in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. ==References==
