The author of this unusual book is film director and playwright Yuri Elkhov, known for the films “Princess of Slutskaya”, “Son for Father”, “Apostate”. The book is written on the basis of the literary script of the failed documentary-historical film “Crosses and Crescents (in the footsteps of the Lost Empire)”, which is based on the research works of two outstanding Russian scientists: Anatoly Timofeevich Fomenko and Gleb Vladimirovich Nosovsky, who stirred up the world scientific community with their revolutionary discoveries in the field of reconstruction of the chronology of universal history. Unique medieval miniatures, engravings, drawings and paintings are used as illustrations. • Contents From the author 3A was there a Tatar-Mongol yoke in Rus'? 4Why has Europe “gone crazy”? 6Tatar-Mongols.
