Valentin Ivanov is known to readers primarily as the author of epochal historical novels, addressed to the past of ancient Russia: "Rus Initial", "Tales of Ancient Years", "Rus the Great". This edition presents the final cycle of the novel "Russia the Great". Starting to work on the book, the author so defined his plan: "I want to be in the XI century. This - we have Vladimir Monomakh, in Europe - the conquest of England by the Normans, the First Crusade. In Asia, nomads are clubbing at the Great Wall. In the Roman Empire - Henry, who had a Russian princess-wife ... And the whole world is restless, the whole world is booming no worse than now, although there were in it people much smaller ..." And indeed, the writer is not limited to the description in the book of Great Russia, he moves "across countries and continents through the XI century", from the shores of America to the Mongol steppes, from Russia to Byzantium. And each chapter is a separate narrative. At the same time, all parts make up a single novel, the main theme of which is the formation of a powerful Russian state against the background of world historical cataclysms.
