About the book: 2009 / Who hasn’t heard of Stonehenge or the rows of “standing stones of Karnak”? However, no less mysterious structures lurk very close to us, in the very heart of Russia. The book by the historian A. Platov is devoted to a very interesting and little-developed topic - the sacred Stones of Central and North-Western Russia. Elements of ancient sanctuaries, astronomical structures, objects revered by our ancestors, they were once an integral part of traditional culture, now forgotten and keeping many secrets.
