Путь из варяг в греки. Василий Новиков. Родина слонов №288

Surprisingly, many people today do not believe in the Route from the Varangians to the Greeks. They say that it was invented by German scientists hired by the Romanovs in the 18th century, that the existence of this trade route has not been proven by archaeological evidence, that in the 9th-10th centuries, due to the climate, it was impossible to travel and transport goods along the rivers of Eastern Europe... Let's deal with these misconceptions once and for all and try to understand how modern science sees the history of the Dnieper trade route. On the air of "Rodina Elephantov" is Vasily Vasilyevich Novikov, candidate of historical sciences, head of the archeology and special works department of the Energotransproekt company. The "Proshloe Historical Magazine" channel 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 "Rodina Elephantov", "History of Conflicts" and Proshloe.
