Lycians, Indo-Aryans, Scythes, Etruscans, Pelosgians, the ancient Greek, Celts, Romans, Germans, Baits, Slavs… The original springs of the languages and mythologies of these peoples lie in a common proto-Russian language and a common proto-Russ mythology dating back to the 8000-2000 В. С. The author has convincingly proved that the so called "ancient mythologies" and their mytho-images are nothing but the later literary rendering of the original archaic mythology of the proto-Russes and the "illuminations" of the proto-Russ mytho-images. In his monograph the author has made use of only of the materials that does not lend itself to falsification or any different interpretation. Thanks to his discovery, thousands of facts of ancient and medieval history that have hitherto seemed unrelated can now be linked together and construed into a single logical chain. Alongside, the discovers has solved hundreds of other problems in history, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics and related disciplines, that for lack of a basic historical doctrine have so far remained unsolved.
Yu. D. Petukhov's incontrovertible arguments in his work allow us to state, before his work is discussed widely in the world academic press, that he has made a discovery of global scale. The question of the proto-Indo-Europeans, one of the central problem to Indo-European studies, has at long last been solved. Only one question remains: Is the world academic community ready to accept this discover?
