The book is devoted to the analysis and reconstruction of Russian history. Domestic history is naturally of the greatest interest to the Russian reader. In addition, as the authors' research proves, Russian medieval history is one of the most important cornerstones in the building of world history as a whole. The book examines in detail the question of the notorious "Tatar-Mongol yoke" in Russia, about the location of the Battle of Kulikovo, about what the "Horde" and "Mongol conquest" are, about how reliable the Russian annals available today are and when they were last edited, about who was Ivan the Terrible.
