Pepel imperii: v poiskakh zakonov istorii - Stogov I.

"Whatever you think about it, modern science "history" is not a science in any sense. Today, behind this word hides partly a set of puncturepots, partly - a collection of pre-flood anecdotes, and for the most part - a hole from a bagel. There is no science behind this word. I'm going to change that. By the last page of the book you hold in your hands, the laws of history will be found. History will become a full-fledged scientific discipline. Its course can be not only correctly described, but also predicted. Don't you believe it? It's not a good thing."
