In 1692, a few years before the reforms of Peter the Great, centurion Andrei Ivanovich Lyzlov completed the first generalizing scholarly monograph in Russia, Scythian History. The subject was the relationship between nomadic, "Scythian", and sedentary peoples in Europe, Asia and North Africa from antiquity to the 17th century, and the author considered the Ottoman Turks and Crimean Tatars to be the last "Scythians". The sources to which Lyzlov carefully referred are all Russian, Polish and West European historiography available to the author. The author's conclusions, based on a Russian view of the world not yet seen in world science, were far ahead of his time. Lyzlov managed to create a rich, exciting, deep and dramatic narrative. He was not the first scholarly historian in Russia before its "Europeanization" by Peter the Great, but the best of them, the predecessor not even of V.N. Tatishchev, but of N.M. Karamzin himself. The book includes: a complete study of the life and work of A.I. Lyzlov; an academic edition of "Scythian History" with textual and historical commentaries in a liner notes
