At the end of the 9th century, the nomadic people came to the Eastern European steppes from behind the Volga, hitherto unknown in those parts. The nomads reached the Crimea, pushed it over the Danube of the Hungarians and in a friendly one spread in a vast territory between Russia in the north and Byzantium in the south. For about two centuries, they brought fear to the Dunay peoples, ruined the Russian cities and forced the Byzantines to tremble. But on April 29, 1091, all this people, as the Byzantine princess Anna Komnina wrote, exceeded every number, died with wives and children on the same day. Information about these nomads has been preserved in the Byzantine, Arab and Western European sources, where they wear different names, the Russians called them the Pechenegs. This book tells about the history of the Pechenegs, their appearance in the world stage and terrible death. It includes the work of academician V.G. Vasilievsky "Byzantium and Pechenegs" and the head of the book of P.V. Golubovsky "Pechenegs, Torki and Polovtsy before the invasion of the Tatars"
