The most important part of the scientific heritage of Stanislav Nikiforovich Bratchenko - his monograph - has not yet been sufficiently known in the scientific community. This is noticeable both in the small number of references to the work and in the ongoing discussions on a number of problems that the author has long and convincingly solved. The current situation is primarily due to the rather limited number of Bronze Age researchers of the South Russian steppes who are fluent in the Ukrainian language in which the work is written. A significant role was also played by the lexical and syntactic complexity of the author's scientific language. In order to introduce the monograph into scientific circulation for a wider range of specialists, we translated and adapted some of the work.
