About :
Every year, archaeologists dig up birch bark letters — pieces of birch bark with inscriptions from our medieval ancestors. It is difficult to find such information anywhere else; it was not written about in official documents like chronicles. Ordinary people from Novgorod, Suzdal, Ryazan and other ancient Russian cities reported on their daily lives. Moreover, they wrote not only on birch bark, but also on the walls of churches — a kind of prototype of an Internet forum. Whose voices do we hear through the centuries and what do they say? Why does deciphering such inscriptions turn into a fascinating detective story that you involuntarily want to join? Alexey Gippius, a student of the outstanding linguist Andrey Zaliznyak, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, doctor of philological sciences, chief researcher of the Laboratory of Linguistic Semiotic Research of the Higher School of Economics, chief researcher of the Department of Typology and Comparative Linguistics of the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, grant recipient of the Russian Science Foundation, participant of the multimedia project "Keepers of Cultural Heritage" will help to unravel the mysteries of ancient Russian social networks.
