About the book: 2017 / Genghis Khan... This name has always evoked fear and hatred among some, and for others it has been a symbol of eternal movement forward. But no one remained indifferent! This was the case during his lifetime, and almost the same is the case now. So who was the great conqueror - a ruthless killer and tyrant or a builder of a new world who dreamed of a single state where everyone had to follow the same law? What legacy did the Lord of the Universe leave us? And what is the “Genghis Khan gene”? Why, when they talk about the Great Silk Road, do they always remember the founder of the Mongol Empire? The new book from the “Mysteries of History” series tells about this and much more.».
