The Oponskoye Kingdom (Russian: Опонское/опоньское царство, supposed to mean "Yaponskoye tsarstvo", or "kingdom of Japan"), or as some English sources erroneously put it, Kingdom of Opona, is a mythical kingdom in Russian folklore, envisioned by Russian peasants as lying at the edge of the flat earth. Here, it was believed, the peasants lived happy lives undisturbed by the state or the gentry, under a "White Tsar" who ruled truly and justly. Such paradise places were also known under the names of the Golden Land, Land of Chud, and Belovodye.

  • The Oponskoye Kingdom (Russian: Опонское/опоньское царство, supposed to mean "Yaponskoye tsarstvo", or "kingdom of Japan"), or as some English sources erroneously put it, Kingdom of Opona, is a mythical kingdom in Russian folklore, envisioned by Russian peasants as lying at the edge of the flat earth. Here, it was believed, the peasants lived happy lives undisturbed by the state or the gentry, under a "White Tsar" who ruled truly and justly. Such paradise places were also known under the names of the Golden Land, Land of Chud, and Belovodye. The myth of the Utopian kingdom of old Russia is similar to other myths of "earthly paradises", out of sight but possibly reachable by the right courageous explorer, such as Shambhala, El Dorado, etc. Initially the tale of Belovodye was treated as a hearsay about a real place. Groups of peasants from various regions of Russia were known to have gone on expeditions in the far north of Russia to find the mythical utopia. There was strain of old Believers called "Wanderers" (Russian: странники), since they spent their lives wandering, and some researchers asserted that they were instrumental in the propagation of the legend. However other researchers have arguments against this hypothesis. At the break of the 19th and 20th centuries the tale gradually transformed from a "real thing" to an element of Russian folklore.

  • Белово́дье — в старообрядческих преданиях легендарная страна на востоке от России, где во всей полноте сохранилось «древлеправославное» (дораскольное, «дониконовское») священство, где нет и не может быть антихриста. Легенда сформировалась в конце XVIII — начале XIX века. Легенда не была связана с деятельностью определённого старообрядческого согласия, она развивалась среди поморцев, часовенных, беглопоповцев и др. В Словаре Даля беловодье определяется как не заселённая, вольная земля. Первоначально, во второй половине XVIII века, Беловодьем назывались земли по берегам реки Бухтармы (правый приток Иртыша), где первые русские поселенцы в течение долгого времени находились вне контроля государства. Присоединение Бухтармы к Российской империи обусловило перенесение понятия Беловодья дальше на восток. Рассказы о Беловодье принадлежат к числу легенд об утопических странах или обществах (социально-утопических легенд), которые мыслятся как современные носителям традиции и выражают мечту о справедливом общественном устройстве. Для статуса легенды в качестве достоверного знания, как она воспринимается носителями традиции, показательными являются случаи реальных поисков легендарной страны. (ru)
