19.99 €
What do ancient steppe legends hide and why are myths about “countless hordes of nomads” so firmly rooted in historical science? Why is Russia still perceived by the West as part of Asia, not Europe? What ideas about the world were the chroniclers of the Middle Ages guided by? This book sheds light on little-known facts, explaining how the geographical and historical mistakes of the past turned into persistent stereotypes.
The author offers the reader a fascinating journey through the pages of the history of Inner Asia, revealing the true meaning of legends about nomadic peoples and analyzing their relationship with world politics. Here are collected the most persistent misconceptions about the “steppe empires”, Genghis Khan and the “Tatar-Mongol yoke”, which served not only as tools for myth-making, but also for political influence. Recommended for history researchers, journalists, teachers and anyone who is fascinated by the history of Eurasia without stereotypes and clichés.
