Ancient Rus and the Great Steppe

The book by L.N. Gumilev is devoted to one of the most complex and confusing problems of domestic history — the question of the relationship between Ancient Rus and the nomads of the Great Steppe throughout the Middle Ages. Engaging and emotional, written in impeccable language, this work has become a brilliant attempt to reconstruct a detailed and coherent picture of the history of Eurasia in the 11th–14th centuries.
