The golden classics of the "Motherland of Elephants" in a new format! Most people think that historians "just read" old books and write their works based on them. This is not true. We will talk about modern methods of source studies using the example of the well-known controversial monument - "The Tale of Bygone Years". For what purpose was the chronicle actually written? What does its name mean - "The Tale of Bygone Years"? And what great empire collapsed on the Transfiguration of the Lord in 7499 from the creation of the world? Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of the National Research University Higher School of Economics Igor Nikolaevich Danilevsky talks about how to work with the "Tale of Bygone Years" and what information can be obtained from this source. The channel "Proshloe Historical Journal" is the official channel of the Proshloe magazine. The editor-in-chief of the magazine is Mikhail Rodin - the author and host of the projects "Motherland of Elephants", "History of Conflicts" and Proshloe.
