Two books included in my wormwood path, both of them are especially dear to the author: “Wormwood of the Polovtsian Field” and “Without the Eternal Blue Sky”. The first, 1994, brought Murad Aji to the expanse of the Great Steppe, to the roots of Russian history. The second, written in 2010, summed up its long “wormwood” path, generous to discoveries.
Twenty years “wormwood …” finds readers, but still, even repeatedly reprinted, remains a bibliographic rarity. Thinking the next reprint, the author deliberately did not “improve” the text, did not complement it, although in the development of the topic went forward, which can be judged by the book “Without Eternal Blue Sky”.
As a result, Aji did what it was impossible to do yesterday. He collected the little -known pages of the distant past of Russia – the country, as it turns out, is an unknown reader. He talked about the predecessor of Rus’-about the Great Steppe, forgotten by the power of Desh-i-Kipchak.
