Another parallel with the legend of is the ancient belief about paradise, the keys to which are in migratory birds. The mysterious Slavic paradise, Irii, first appears on the pages of Vladimir Monomakh's Instructions: to the lands of God I command, that the fields and the fields will be filled. ” By iriyam was meant a country where birds fly for the winter - this is a magical land without cold weather, where all nature hides during frosts. This country was considered to be either underground, and snakes lived in it, or very far from Russia, located beyond the mountains and forests — birds flew into it. According to legend, Irij was opened with keys stored in one of the birds - according to different versions, cuckoos, crows, or a lark. It was possible to get into iriya through a pool or whirlpool, and in addition to migratory birds and snakes, long considered in Indo-European beliefs as animal symbols of the other world, souls of the dead also lived in iria. The magic ritual of burial of a wing of a bird in the beginning of autumn was also connected with ideas about iria.
