About the book:

Conspiracy is a genre of folklore characterized by a dual nature, because it is usually considered both as a folklore genre and as an integral part of a certain ritual. But at the same time, the conspiracy performs a very clearly defined cultural function. By this quality, it differs from both ritual and calendar folklore, as well as from the type of rituals we are familiar with.

The book of Nikolai Pozansky has not lost its value today, primarily because it contains a huge factual comparative material of Russian and Western European conspiracy texts.
