Mythology of Russian Wars. Volume 1

This book is a mosaic of facts from Russian military history. The largest land power in the world praises itself as the most peace-loving. And this mosaic is assembled to argue against the myth of its own eternal harmlessness, which is propagated by the state and church propaganda of Russia. The author invites us to reflect on both the texts and facts known since school («Why did Mtsyri become an orphan?»), as well as many lesser-known episodes of Russian military glory and disgrace.
