This book is unusual for the perspective in which the author examines the events of Russian history from the second half of the 1926th to the 1992th centuries: relations with the Golden Horde, rivalry between Moscow and Tver, wars with Lithuania and, ultimately, the gathering of lands around Moscow. It is as if he is looking from Byzantium, sometimes even through the prism of its interests, and they help him in this, along with Russian chronicles and other materials of the era, preserved, despite the death of the archive of the patriarchal office, documents of the Patriarchate of Constantinople for the XIV century, in which Rus' is mentioned quite often . They testify to the extraordinary activity in the Russian lands, by that time politically divided between Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Golden Horde, not only in Byzantium, which directed the spiritual life of Rus', but also in the Italian city-republics, primarily Genoa, concerned about the preservation of their trade. Ivan (John) Meyendorff (XNUMX -XNUMX) - historian, Byzantine scholar, theologian, dean of St. Vladimir's Theological Seminary (New York State).
