Pamene m'dziko lathu anthu ambiri anayamba kuganizira za chitsitsimutso cha Rodnovery, okonda pang'ono ndi pang'ono anayamba kusonkhanitsa cholowa chauzimu ndi chikhalidwe cha makolo awo. Zauzimu ndi chikhalidwe zinali zosagwirizana, zolumikizana komanso zimalumikizana wina ndi mnzake kwa zaka mazana ambiri. Zoonadi, maganizo a dziko, chipembedzo sichikanatha kukhudza zakudya za Asilavo akale. Ndipo apa funso limabuka mwachibadwa: kodi makolo ankadziwa zamasamba?
Alaliki amakono a Rodnovery akuyesera kukulitsa kapena kusiyanitsa chiphunzitsocho ndi mawu osiyanasiyana achi India, kuti agwirizane ndi maphunziro awo ndi malamulo awo kuti agwirizane ndi moyo wathu. Zotsatira zake, Rodnovery amayikidwa pamlingo wofanana ndi wamasamba. Tisanatsimikizire lingaliro lina, timawona kuti, kwenikweni, panali zamasamba, koma zinali ndi mawonekedwe ndi zosiyana pang'ono.
Rodnoverie tsopano akhoza kukwezedwa pansi pa "msuzi" uliwonse, koma mbiri yakale imasonyeza kuti makolo sanali otsutsana ndi nyama. Koma, choyamba, inali nthawi yayitali kwambiri, ndipo kachiwiri, ndi kukula kwa kudzidalira kwa anthu komanso ndi chiyambi cha moyo wokhazikika, Asilavo anasintha makamaka ku zamasamba. Sizinapatsidwe tanthauzo lililonse lopatulika, koma zinali zoonekeratu kwa aliyense kuti zinali zabwinoko, zamakhalidwe abwino komanso zathanzi kudya motere. M’masiku amenewo, anthanthi anali kunena kuti: “Nkhanza za Asilavo zinawapangitsa kukhala oyera kuposa Aroma ophunzira. Zoonadi, ku Roma kunali miyambo yolusa, masewera akupha. Panalibe funso lililonse lokhudza zamasamba. Ndipo chiyero chachilengedwe cha Asilavo, omwe ankagwira ntchito ndikukhala mu kuphweka kwa mtima, adawapangitsa kukhala oyera, ndipo zamasamba zinangokhala "zotsatira" zachibadwa za nzeru za anthu.
Mwa njira, tikamati "rodnovery", sitiyenera kutanthauza chikunja cha Russia nthawi zonse. Ndikoyenera kulabadira zikhulupiriro za anthu aku North. Iwo sanalinso odya zamasamba, popeza panalibe maziko achipembedzo a zimenezi. Komabe, ngakhale iwo ankadziwa kuti kupha nyama n’koipa kwambiri. Pofuna kusangalatsa chisoni komanso kuopa kubwezera kuchokera ku chilengedwe, asing'anga adapanga zisudzo zonse atavala zovala ndi masks. Anauza agwape wothamangitsidwayo kuti iwo sanali olakwa, koma chimbalangondo chimene chinaukira nswala. M'miyambo ina, anthu amapempha chikhululukiro kwa nyama yophedwa, anayesa kuyanjanitsa "mzimu" wake, kuvala masks.
Pazochitika zomwe nsembe ikufotokozedwa, munthu ayeneranso kudziwa kuti zinthu zamtengo wapatali zinabweretsedwa m'mafuko, ndipo pang'onopang'ono kukula kwa chikhalidwe sikunalole kuti izi zichitike ndi anthu. Komabe, akatswiri ena amakamba za kuthekera kopereka nsembe ankhondo ogwidwa. Zikhale momwe zingakhalire, n'zoonekeratu kuti zamasamba zikhoza kuvomerezedwa ndi munthu yemwe ali pa msinkhu wapamwamba kwambiri wa chitukuko chaumwini.
Zina mwa ntchito zazikulu za Rodnovery, obwezeretsa achikunja amawona kuti chachikulu ndicho chitsitsimutso cha moyo wakale, ziphunzitso. Koma ndi bwino kupereka munthu wamakono chinachake. Chinachake chomwe chidzagwirizane ndi msinkhu womwe chiyenera kukhala. Kupanda kutero, sizingathandizire kukulitsa uzimu komanso kutsagana ndi zamasamba m'dziko lathu.
