The book “According to the Laws of the Wild Field” tells the story of the great migration to the forest-steppe of the Trans-Volga region in the thirties of the eighteenth century, the time when Russia was created. This is one of the most breakthrough and fascinating literary works. The attentive reader will be interested in the fact that in front of him is a real encyclopedia of folk life and folk culture of the first settlers of the Wild Field. The book gives real events and real signs of various movements of immigrants. Where else can you find stories about industrial horses and cottonseed farms, about the barge bazaar and horse fair, about sweeps and caches... How many people know what a cataur or tagarka is? There is a village called Tagarka near Lake Baikal, but there is no such word in any reference book. On every page of the novel there are signs of the unique culture and traditions of the first settlers, people who themselves created the history of the country and the world.
