Time wanderings. Ancient Russia through the prism of "Tale of Bygone Years". In 2 books. Part 2

"Where did the Russian land come from, Russian people ..."? This book, written by our contemporary, prominent Orthodox historian Leonid Bolotin, is devoted to this key to Russian people. The peculiarity of this book is a strictly scientific Orthodox approach to history, to the study and presentation of the historical events of our distant past: for the author, a careful attitude, in -depth attention to all primary sources belonging to the historical period of Ancient Russia is primary. First of all, this is the historical work of the Monk Nestor, the chronicler "Tale of Bygone Years", the relevance of which, despite the nine centuries that have passed since the blissful death of the Monk, only increases for modern and future Russia.
The book is written in an accessible language and is of interest both for professional historians and teachers of the history of ancient Russia in schools and universities, and for schoolchildren and students studying this period. Most chapters of this work are quite accessible for home reading aloud in those Orthodox families where such a Russian custom is not devoted to oblivion
