Talk:Volkhov (river)

Etymology is not yet clear
it is known very well but forbidden to talk about it...

Volhkov derived from pre Christian Slavic name for the priests (like Druids) of the Old slavic faith; Volhv, Volkhv. In modern times Volkhs are still called Magicians or 3 kings in Christianity in Russia, Ukraine which means that old slavic characters passed into Christian figures; that's why the foreign christian, greek bishops have had less work in the baptism of the old believers; inventing and renaming old characters and giving them christian elements.
