The “History of Russia” series is a one-of-a-kind series of books for children, which most fully reveals to the young reader the entire unique world of Russian history. The series has been published since 1998 and has about 150 books. Interesting text and good illustrations made it very popular. This illustrated series is being developed by children's writers, historians and teachers based on modern scientific data. It is intended primarily for schoolchildren aged 8-13 with the aim of developing their curiosity and erudition. This is a large collection of educational illustrated books with specialized applications (illustrated dictionaries, maps, etc.). The subject matter of the books covers all significant events of Russian history and is constantly expanding. All books contain color illustrations on every page. It is natural that the series is officially recognized as the best children's series on the history of the Russian state. The books in the series are recommended by the Ministry of Education for secondary school students for additional reading and are regularly ordered by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation to replenish the library collections of children's educational institutions in Russia and the CIS countries.
