At the end of the 9th century, a nomadic people came to the Eastern European steppes because of the Volga, hitherto unknown in those parts. The nomads reached the Crimea, pushed the Hungarians beyond the Danube and economically spread over a huge territory between Russia in the north and Byzantium in the south. For about two centuries they instilled fear in the Danube peoples, ravaged Russian cities and made the Byzantines tremble. But on April 29, 1091, all this people, as the Byzantine princess Anna Komnina wrote, "exceeded any number, with wives and children died on the same day." Information about these nomads has been preserved in Byzantine, Arab and Western European sources, where they bear different names; Russians called them Pechenegs. This book tells about the history of the Pechenegs, their appearance on the world stage and terrible death. It includes the work of Academician V.G. Vasilievsky "Byzantium and Pechenegs" and chapters from the book of P.V. Golubovsky "Pechenegs, Torques and Polovtsy before the invasion of the Tatars."
