The monograph comprehensively and deeply examines the key historical problem of the relations of Ancient Russia with its neighbors, primarily the steppes; combines traditional approaches of historical research with extensive geographical analysis, thereby recreating from disparate, not always directly related events a holistic picture of ancient ethnic interaction. L.N. Gumilev concludes that in the change of superethnoses there is not continuity, but, in the language of mathematics, “relationship”. The Russians as an ethnos treated the ancient Rusichs, as the French to the Gauls or the Italians of the Renaissance to the Romans of Caligula. If the impetus that led to the birth of the Western European world was still in the VIII century, in turn, the “Russian” drive was only in the XIII century, and accordingly, in relation to Europe, our superethnos is younger by half a thousand years. Thus, compared to Western Europe, Russians are not backward, but a young ethnos. At the same time, arguments are made that the Mongol-Tatar yoke as such did not exist, but instead a symbiosis of Russians and Mongol-Tatars appeared. For the first time in the world and domestic science, the scientist offered a detailed overview of the mutual influence and relationships of ethnic groups inhabiting a huge territory located between Western Europe, the Middle East and China.
