Invented in Russia. History of the Russian Inventions from Peter I to Nikolai IITim SkorenkoThere are numerous reference books and lists of Russian inventions and most of them do not usually mention even three quarters of the brilliant ideas invented by the Russians; but according to them it turns out we invented the airplane (of course we didn’t), bicycle (again false information) and ballistic missile (in no case). This book has two tasks: a) to inform about the inventions made at different times by our compatriots, as objectively as possible, without underestimation or exaggeration; and b) to debunk numerous myths and historical falsifications, connected to the history of inventions.
