The serial book (now a journal) "Ancient Russia in Time, in Personalities, in Ideas" with its Greek name "Ραλαιορωσια" was conceived and realized as a private initiative. Its goal was to provide historians, philologists, philosophers and theologians with different points of view to present their studies on the history of Ancient Russia. The declared principle of serial book as a free platform was consistently upheld from issue to issue, although, as with any new idea, especially one not backed by "administrative resources", the desired often ran far ahead of the actual. The first issue was conceived in May 2013 and saw the light of day in May 2014. From 9th issue the serial book was becoming a journal.
