“Ethnicity is a way of behaving that is acceptable to your neighbors,” Lev Gumilyov defines the meaning of the main concept of his theory of ethnogenesis in such a discouragingly simple way.
“Ethnicity is a way of behaving that is acceptable to your neighbors,” Lev Gumilyov defines the meaning of the main concept of his theory of ethnogenesis in such a discouragingly simple way. How the peoples inhabiting the earth behaved and behave, how time and space influence the development of ethnic groups — these and many other issues are the subject of lectures given by the Russian encyclopedic scientist L. N. Gumilyov to students of Leningrad University in 1977 and on Leningrad television in 1989 year. Audio recordings of his live and incredibly exciting performances, which do not lose their relevance and sharpness, are for the first time fully transcribed and collected in this book.
