From Rus to Russia

The study From Rus to Russia, awarded the Vehi Prize, is dedicated to the history of our country from the formation of the Kievan principality to the era of Peter the Great. This book — the last work created by Lev Gumilev — is written in a lively, engaging manner that the author himself called experimental. Serious scientific generalizations that allow for a non-traditional assessment of well-known facts from our past are combined with astonishing discoveries and unexpected conclusions.
