Culture of Ancient and Medieval Russia

This book is dedicated to the phenomenon of Russian culture in its broadest expression — from forms of hospitality and everyday life to literature, architecture, and icon painting — since culture is not just a set of monuments, but a system of relationships between humans and the surrounding world. It is no coincidence that we speak of "behavior culture", "communication culture", or "food culture". It is culture that helps us to establish connections with other people, with things, with space, and with language. Analyzing different aspects of Ancient Russian culture, the author reveals all sides of life in our country during that era and the Middle Ages. The book is a true encyclopedia of Russian life.
