Frost - Veliky Ustyug, Pskov, the city of Ivan, Valaam to Arkhangelsk and St. Petersburg.
"The Silver Ring of Russia" is the northern heart of our country, with each city linked to numerous legends, tales, and myths. Here lie the roots of Russian Land, here the Russian state was born - and here we will find the answer to the so astonishing foreigners' "mystery of the Russian soul".
Events from the history of medieval Novgorod Rus, stories of the feats of brilliant statesmen, narratives about holy ascetics and brave pioneers of the Russian North - all this will be revealed to the readers of the book through folk legends and tales, chronicles and lives, as well as Scandinavian sagas, Finnish runes, ancient chronicles, and legends.
