Written with humor and easy to read, the book by mathematician Evgeniy Gabovich, who emigrated from the USSR in 1980, touches on such fundamental issues as the essence of history and the fundamental possibility of providing history with a chronology clearly tied to the time axis. Actively participating in the life of the international movement for the revision of historical and chronological dogmas, the author of this book keeps his finger on the pulse of this movement both in Germany, where he has lived for the last 25 years, and in many other countries. This book of his is based not so much on the results of the Russian new chronology, the development of which he follows with great sympathy, as well as in the discussions that in recent years took place in the public seminars (Historical Salons) he led on the so-called. historical analytics in the German cities of Karlsruhe and Potsdam, as well as on the pages of the Internet forum he runs under the general heading “History and Chronology.”
