More than two hundred years have passed since the publication of the literary masterpiece “The Word of Igor’s Regiment”, but the authorship of the great work could not be established. The reader from the first pages of the book is involved in an exciting, almost detective story.
The first mention of the “Word” is dated 1797. The manuscript “Words” was preserved only in the Old Russian collection acquired in the early 90s. The 18th century is one of the collectors Count Aleksey Musin-Pushkin at the former archimandrite of the abolished by the time of the Transfiguration Monastery in Yaroslavl Ioil. The only known medieval text “words” burned out in 1812, which gave a reason to doubt the authenticity of the work.
The author of the book A. Kostin proves that the “Word of Igor’s Regiment” is the greatest fake in the history of Russian literature. It turns out that the “word” was written not in the XII century, but 500 years later.
