What topics preoccupied educated people in pre-Petrine Rus'? How did they interpret modern times and past events? Historian Igor Danilevsky's book is a unique encyclopedia of ancient Russian intellectual life from the 11th to 16th centuries. Its protagonists include monk-chroniclers, church hierarchs, merchants, and even Prince Vladimir Monomakh—authors of the most important written monuments, who formulated the key ideas of the era. Analyzing their works, Danilevsky reconstructs the cultural language and social context in which the ideas of that time were born, and also attempts to trace the subsequent fate of these ideas. The researcher focuses on the concept of messianism and the divinely chosen nature of the Russian people, rooted in the ancient Russian intellectual tradition. Igor Danilevsky is a Doctor of Historical Sciences and a specialist in the history of ancient Rus'.
