The mystery of the origin of the mysterious tribe "Rus" haunts historians for three centuries. Who are "Rus" and the Slavs, where did the Russian land come from, what is hidden in the depths of millennia among our people, what were their pagan beliefs, how the Slavs settled on the face of the earth - all this can be learned by studying a rare and unconventional historical discipline - toponomics. This is exactly what Vladimir Kurbatov did in the book "Secret Routes of the Slavs." It turned out that our ancestors left their "traces" in the form of the names of cities and rivers in Denmark and Spain, in Siberia and France, in Scandinavia and North Africa. In this world-historical route, the Turks, the predecessors of modern Tatars, have always remained faithful companions of the Slavs. The book is equipped with numerous maps that clearly illustrate the author's concept, and is intended for everyone interested in the initial Russian history.
