The review is devoted to the analysis of the collective work “A Look at Slavic Axiology” / Ed. I. A. Sedakova, ed. M. Kitanova, P. Zhenyukh. Moscow: Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019. It provided an interdisciplinary and multifaceted analysis of the axiological concepts and value systems in three Slavic traditions, the Russian, Bulgarian and Slovakian ones, in different historical periods, revealing the differences according to the hierarchy of values, their dynamics and national identity. The Studies have shown different completeness of the term “values”. The analysis was based on a large corpus of texts: books of different genres were studied: handwritten collections of religious content, folk medical books, memoirs, travel books, and data on vocabulary, phraseology, folklore and rituals.
