To imagine Russia without the North is like the Earth without the Sun. A Russian person (and any Russian too) is nothing without its northern component. To show this and prove it is the main task of the present book of Doctor of Philosophy V.N. Demin. On the basis of extensive and versatile scientific material, the polar concept of the origin of human civilization is substantiated in the book. The fictionalized form tells of an attempt by various forces to use the Hyperborean inheritance for both good and evil purposes. The action of the book is freely transferred from modern and medieval Europe to the distant Hyperborean past and vice versa. The book is addressed to the widest range of readers.
