In a peaceful dialogue between them. This para-religiousness the poet uses for definite purposes. Here are presented the other acts of para-religiousness in Chlebnikov’s works-universal religions and mythological sections, eastern gods and myths, Slavonic-Russian pagan pantheon.lt is pointed out that the Christian religion is almost missing in the para-religiousness utopia of Velimir Chlebnikov.
