As the historian told QHA, his new work is entitled "Masters of Two Continents. The Crimean Khans of the First Half of the XVII century in Struggle for Independence and Autocracy".
The book covers the historical period of 1608-1641 – short, but a rough epoch in the history of Crimea.
In the book it is told, according to the author, that dreaming to weaken dependence of the country on Turkey, the Crimean Khans throw down a challenge of Ottoman Empire and even conclude the union with the Ukrainian Cossacks. However, the forces in this struggle are too unequal, and the freedom-loving aspirations of Khans develop into tragedy of internal wars, which can be extinguished only with great difficulty...
