It’s time to agree with the point of view of the great Russian Eurasians of the early twentieth century that Russia has its own Eurasian civilization,” the author asserts. For thousands of years, the peoples here have surprised the world not only with their belligerence, weapons or ancient jewelry, but with literature, music, works of art, and architecture. The peoples of the former Soviet republics are now busy searching for ethnic self-identification, accusing the Russians of “occupation,” “coercion,” and other attributes unified empire. While several thousand years of history of Eurasia indicate that only in a single state are they different, although ethnically complementary, according to L.N. Gumilyov, the peoples lived peacefully. And the collapses were accompanied by merciless wars... The book is addressed to everyone who is interested in the history of their Fatherland.
