39.99 €
The study by G.S. Lebedev is devoted to a topic little explored in Russian historical literature - the final stage of the transition of the peoples of Europe from the primitive communal system to class society. It considers the main stages of Viking activity in Western Europe, shows the untenability of Normanist constructions of Western historiography.
For the first time on concrete data of history, archeology, numismatics and language the importance of Ancient Russia for the internal development of the Scandinavian countries is revealed, the leading place of the Old Russian state in the international relations of the peoples of the Baltic region, the role of the Varangians in the history of Kievan Rus IX-XI centuries is shown. Rich illustrative material, clarity and consistency of thought, as well as a fascinating narrative, will attract the attention not only of specialists - historians, archaeologists, ethnographers, but also of a wide range of readers, for whom the connection between the "Viking problem" and the "Varangian question" - a key issue of Russian history - is obvious.
