"In the biography of every country there are beautiful chapters that flatter national pride, and ugly ones that you want to forget or mythologize. The era of Mongol rule in Russian history is the most unsightly. It is a severe trauma to historical memory: a time of humiliation, disintegration, loss of one's own statehood. Writing and reading about the events of the 13th-15th centuries is at first a very depressing occupation. However, gradually the mood changes. The process of healing wounds, rebirth excites and fascinates. It has something of a Russian fairy tale: Rus' was sprinkled with dead water, then with living water - and it was resurrected, and became stronger than before. The Tatar-Mongol conquest brought many troubles and suffering, but at the same time it demonstrated the viability of the country, which withstood a terrible test and managed to create a new statehood in place of the previous, perished one." We present to our readers the second book of Boris Akunin’s project “History of the Russian State”, which covers events from 1223 to 1462.
