Secrets of History. Book 2: Secrets of Rus. Secrets of the Russian Empire. Secrets of the 19th Century. Secrets of the Seas and Islands

Humanity has lived on Earth for a long time. Years, decades, centuries, whole millennia of our history have already remained in the past. And with them, the people who once inhabited these distant eras—and it is a remarkable thing!—considered them to be their present. These people could only vaguely guess what their world would be like in the distant future—in our days. But the past has not disappeared without a trace: the past is always here, it lives within us, all of us and everything around us are its heirs and descendants.
The past securely keeps its secrets and, as we all know, reveals them to far from everyone who assures that there are no secrets from history. The famous writer Kir Bulychev—a man who believed in the future, the creator of captivating books about Alisa Selezneva—was a magnificent expert of the past. Together we have already made exciting journeys into the Ancient World and the era of Antiquity, looked into the Middle Ages and the New Time.
Now we are about to visit the distant and not-so-distant past of our country. In addition, we are waiting for two concluding journeys of the series: both those who are already well acquainted with it and new readers will be able to learn from them about the secrets of the great and terrible 19th century, and also about the intriguing mysteries of the seas and islands. Our new exciting excursion into the history of humanity begins right now!
