What kind of people lived on our land before? What were you thinking and wondering about, what were you hoping for, what were you afraid of? Stories about fictional and real-life characters. Here is Prince Vasilko Terebovlsky, blinded by order of his brother princes. And a boyar from the squad of Ingvar Ingvarevich, returning home to Ryazan, devastated by Batu. And Alexander Alexandrovich Blagoev, appointed to the judicial chamber of St. Petersburg and cannot stand the injustice that reigns everywhere. And other people, similar and not similar to us today.
