At the current stage of our history, we Russians need to know who we are, to know our origins. In many ways, this determines the future of the people. All discussions about the national idea are meaningless if they are not based on an understanding of the foundation of a particular ethnic group. Our cultural, political, moral, spiritual heritage, which was before ¬ Epiphany, must be brought back to life. The book's authors make a strong case that this legacy must come into our lives again, and then we will have a second wind.
