Have you noticed the stone sculptures in the Donetsk steppe? These are Polovtsian women and have relatives throughout Russia. Such figures appeared on our mounds almost 800 years ago. There used to be so many of these that people used to navigate like a compass. It turns out that there are similar "lighthouses" in Altai, Khakassia and Kaliningrad. For National Unity Day, we collected a stone map of the symbols that united our ancestors many centuries ago. If videos and photos are not loading, our news is at MAX.
