As the saying goes, "Honest history is private history." Here is the author's personal view of historical events (and not only). "He elevated the cause of historical memory almost to the rank of a religion. It is now ... the starting point of a new time." (A. Zinoviev) So there is no way for us to dismiss history, from Romulus to the present day.But let's not forget, history is a very broad concept. In addition to the history of human society (which is usually called history) there is the history of literature, the history of science and much more. And all of them affect our lives, and there is no way for us to abstract from them.So enjoy your reading.
