Andrey Podvolotsky's new historical and journalistic book tells about the allegedly well-known pages of Russian and Ukrainian history, which turn out to be... not so well known. When did the Millennium of Russia monument appear and what does it symbolize? Where did Rurik come from and who was the first all-Russian prince? When and by whom was Russia baptized, and who was the first Russian martyr? How did the grandchildren of the Polovtsian khans turn out to be Russian princes? Who "ruined" Kyiv Rus from the inside?
