Since 1989 Panorama of Russia has specialized in academic and reference publications from the Russian Federation and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Book three of four published in the "Khronotrop" series by two unconventional authors attacks what they hold to be common historical misconceptions. The first book was about the chronology of Antiquity and the East. Among the moot questions discussed are: the absence of any reference to lunar and solar eclipses in "The Primary Chronicle"(12th-14th centuries) made up for by abundant descriptions of the celestial phenomena that never happened; adoption of the Latin calendar in Russia, a country of Christian Orthodoxy; lack of any allusion to the Crusade of 1099 in Kievan Chronicles; failure of 19th century historians to comply with the request of Imperial Academy of Sciences to pinpoint the consequences of the Mongolian reign in Russia (1243-1480); reasons for the assimilation of Latin rather than Greek ecclesiastical vocabulary in Russian.
