All you provided was the website Institute for the Study of War. Some of their stuff is worthwhile, while other stuff is totally based on bias.

You provided no books or authors.

How about you disseminating some of the knowledge you claim to know.

You provided no books or authors.

Faith Hillis' Children of Rus' which I just cited is not a book? Who knew? (I know it's academically dense, but see if you can't get through the introduction.)

George Vernadsky's A History of Russia is not a book?

Russia and the Golden Horde: The Mongol Impact on Medieval Russian History by Charles Halperin is not a book?

Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder is not a book?

I've read and cited all of these and more here on FR.

Your turn. What books have YOU read? Aleksandr Dugin maybe?
