The book of the famous writer, publicist, literary critic N. Ya. Eidelman is dedicated to the main work of N. M. Karamzin - “History of the Russian State”. At the beginning of the 19th century, Russia faced the urgent need for wide transformations in the life of the state. “The Republican in the soul and the faithful subject of the king of Russian,” as Karamzin wrote about himself, proposed his own concept of transformations based on the ideals of the education and development of civil self -awareness of Russian society. The foundation of this concept was the “history of the Russian state”, which Karamzin began work on in 1803 and continued until 1826, until the last days of his life. Karamzin was looking for ancient chronicles, investigated, compared, critically evaluated thousands of evidence and documents - domestic, Western European, Byzantine, Arabic ... Since Karamzin created his work, not only peering into the distant past, but with constant peering to Russia of his time and with the thought of his time and with the thought of his time The future of the country, many pages of “history” for his contemporaries were, according to Pushkin, “like a fresh newspaper”. In the book of N. Ya. Eidelman, with extreme clarity, a merciless struggle of opinions, deadly disputes, boiling around the Karamzin “history”, which became one of the main events in the then literature, historiography, and, as a result, throughout political life, are shown. Bright political temperament is the most important feature of Karamzin-History. In a vast application to this publication, little -known political manifestos of Karamzin were published - “A note about ancient and new Russia in its political and civilian relations”, “The opinion of a Russian citizen”, as well as the manifesto written at the request of Nicholas I about his accession to the throne. The book uses little-known materials, it contains many black and white illustrations
