About the book: year / We don’t know the history of the country well. We are not talking about official history, which is full of “blank spots” and unsolved mysteries, which suffers from manipulation of facts, ignorant interpretation and eternal political overtones. This is about our history. The story about Russia from the time of the Baptism of Rus' to the Tatar-Mongol yoke performed by A. Bushkov sounds unusual and will certainly cause anger and extreme irritation among many, because the author encroaches on established ideas. This book is an unbiased and conscientious historical study and it is difficult to argue with it.
