Stribog, lord of the winds and air, descended from Svarog the celestial smith — one of the Svarozhichi, the divine generation that inherited governance of the natural world from their sky-father.
⚠ The Primary Chronicle names both Stribog and Svarog among Vladimir's gods but does not state a genealogical link. The father-son connection is Rybakov's reconstruction based on his model of Svarog as divine father of the Svarozhichi.
In 980 CE, Prince Vladimir I erected idols of six deities on a hill in Kiev, establishing the state pantheon of Kievan Rus'. Perun held supremacy with his silver-headed, gold-mustached idol, alongside Khors, Dazhbog, Stribog, Simargl, and Mokosh.
