Description

Yuri Dmitrievich Petukhov is an outstanding writer, journalist, and archaeologist of our time. He made his name both as a science-fiction author and as a serious publicist who uncovers secrets of our country’s history that official science prefers to keep silent about or avoid addressing. His journalism is always packed with references to primary sources and abounds in little-known facts. It is so outspoken that it could not help but trigger a surge of activity from ill-wishers, who openly, in impotent malice, arranged persecution against him.

The stories in this collection begin with a cheerful tale, “A Little Imagination,” and end with the fantasy work “The Russian Forest.” But all these works are the product of a blend of the author’s fascination with Russian history and ethnography, with the skills of a science-fiction writer added on top. The result is a unique world of Slavic fantasy.
