Legends of the Ancient Cities of the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East
You will discover the unknown history of the vast expanses... beyond the Urals, cities and settlements founded in the 16th–18th centuries across the region from the Ural Mountains to Kamchatka.
Yekaterinburg and Nerchinsk, Omsk and Chita, Krasnoyarsk and Blagoveshchensk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Yakutsk – lands of golden placers, boundless taiga, and extreme frosts…
Against the backdrop of the picturesque scenery of our country's vast territories, readers will encounter great statesmen, brave pioneers, and builders of the Russian State.
The book is based on folk legends, chronicle tales, Orthodox lives of saints, diary notes of travelers and memoirs, folk songs, and poems by Russian poets, adorned with ancient iconographic masterpieces and paintings by Russian and Western European artists.
