Sisterhood or sisterhood is one of the forms of ritual kinship (along with nepotism, dairy kinship, baptismal kinship, etc., see kinship ), known mainly from the southern and eastern Slavs. The southern Slavs could have twin cities between persons of both sexes who became “brothers (sisters) according to God,” in contrast to kinship “by blood”. Among Russians, the custom of twinning was primarily related to men, while twinning was called cross brothers or named brothers, and twinning was called cross brotherhood, since it was customary to change body crosses when concluding fraternal relations [1] .
Brotherhood is an old common Indo-European custom, retained in full force only among the southern Slavs according to the conditions of their national and political life, especially in the hayduche [2]
