The book of the modern Russian historian Dmitry Abramov is named by analogy with the Gumilev Millennium around the Caspian. The author in an accessible, but by no means simplified form tells the history of war and peace of the states located on the Black Sea shores, and above all the history of the Northern Black Sea region, Crimea. For thirteen centuries, he traces peaceful relations and military clashes between nomadic and settled peoples who once inhabited these lands.
