Book P.V. Golubovsky (1857-1907) "Pechenegs, Torques and Polovtsy before the invasion of the Tatars. History of the South Russian steppes of the 9th-13th centuries. " was one of the first studies on the history of nomads at the borders of the Old Russian state.
All of the listed ethnic groups are preserved in folk memory as warlike neighbors of Kievan Rus. Golubovsky was the first in Russian science to express the idea that it was the centuries-old confrontation with the steppe that contributed to the slowly bleeding of the South Russian lands and, as a result, the rise of the principalities of the north and northeast. The Pechenezh hordes managed to create an entire nomadic empire, comparable to Byzantium, and only the latter was capable of conquering them. The tribes of Torkov were destined to survive the enmity with Russia and already under the name "Black Clubs" to become faithful Guards of its borders. The close relations of the Polovtsian khans with Russian princes, hesitated from blood enmity to blood kinship, inevitably led to the gradual assimilation of the Polovtsy by the northern neighbor, and only the Tatar-Mongol invasion could stop this process.
The proposed work has an enduring historiographical value and will be useful to students of historical, linguistic and anthropological specialties, as well as all readers interested in the civilizations of the steppes
