He published the magazines “Rodina”, “Nov”, “World Nov”, the series of books “Library of Novels”, “Cheap Library of Russian Classics” and such popular science works as “The World History of Caspary”. The book “The Conquered Caucasus” includes 14 essays telling about the nature, population and history of the Caucasus from ancient times to the end of the 19th century. The main attention is paid to the dramatic events of the Caucasian War, which ended with the capture of the leader of the highlanders Shamil.
