The author of the book A.S. Katz was born in 1934 in Vyatka in a family of repressed parents. His monograph contains an original concept of the role of Jews in the history of Christianity and Russia. The author's reflections on the complete mutual enrichment and, at times, dramatic relations between the Russian and Jewish peoples will interest the reader, who is not indifferent to the fate of Jewry and its contribution to Russian culture and politics. The book of Alexander Semenovich Katz is dedicated to the so-called ancient history of the Jews.
