| Title | Dvadcat' zagadok russkoj istorii (2 izd., ispravlennoe) |
| Description | A historian is always a little bit of a detective. Like Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot, a historian has to examine the evidence left behind by participants in or eyewitnesses to past events. They must work out which witnesses are telling the truth and which are lying, who is mistaken and who simply failed to understand what they saw — and then arrive at a carefully considered judgement. Unlike the conclusions reached by Holmes and Poirot, however, a historian’s interpretation is rarely final or unquestionably correct. Such historical mysteries may always have several possible solutions. In this book, we will compare different versions of events that took place many centuries ago, consider the strengths and weaknesses of each interpretation, and allow readers to decide for themselves: who killed Saints Boris and Gleb? What happened to Tsarevich Dmitry? Where did Ivan the Terrible’s library disappear to? And was Lenin a German spy? The author is historian and history teacher Tamara Natanovna Eidelman, an Honoured Teacher of Russia and creator of the YouTube channel “History with Tamara Eidelman”. |
