An attempt to independently figure out “where the Russian land came from”, as a rule, ends in nothing. It is necessary to make significant efforts and spend a lot of time to get an answer to the question posed. And even then, doubts will remain whether everything happened as you understood, and this will be only one of many theories. All such books are written as if with a special purpose - to confuse the reader. And everything stated in textbooks sometimes does not correspond to reality. I have great respect for theories and arguments, but in the end it becomes clear that the heap of all opinions and interpretations of various events in our history allows for any development. And this opens a direct path to the creation of an alternative history, which is offered to the attention of readers. Each of the separate and independent stories included in the cycle is based on several real historical facts, but everything that follows is largely the author’s fiction. I repeat - this is not a history textbook or a theory of the birth and formation of the state, this is the author’s fiction concerning the past of Russia. This cycle includes the following works: Yes, we are Scythians! From the Kama and Volga we raised horses for the campaign. Great River Empire.
