Vol. 1

The volume is dedicated to the memory of the Russian orientalist I.M. Diakonoff (1914-1999).

In the introduction to vol. 1 the author explains his new conception of the world history.

The world history is divided into two parts - the primitive society and the civilisation history, only the second has some strictly defined development. The history of civilisation is divided into 21 period (250 years each), beginning from 3050 B.C.E. The author has discovered the historic cycle of 2250 years, which is divided into nine periods 250 years each, the periods are distributed in the relation 4: 5 (1000: 1250 years), which forms "antiquity" and "middle ages" of each cycle. The "retardation law", according to which the civilisation begins in the New World 3000 years later, as in the Old World, gives the possibility of true consideration of the history of pre-columbian civilisations, which were at the niveau of the ancient oriental civilisations. The four social-economic formations (early class, slaveowners', feudal and capitalist) are considered by the author, they are not the cause, but the consequence of the historic development. The history develops in the spiritual sphere as well, the true aim of history is the returning of the humankind to the Absolut.

Then the author gives a brief outline of the precivilisation (in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Mesoamerica and Southern America), which corresponds to the late stone age.

The first volume is dedicated to the first cycle of the history, which is called "archaic" and roughly corresponds to the Bronze Age (in the Old World). The formation is early class (not slaveowners').
The first part of the first volume is dedicated to the early archaic (Early Bronze Age) history. The civilisations of the Old World (Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Elam and Indus valley) are compared with the civilisations of Mesoamerica (according to the retardation law). The simultaneous development of the civilisations in each of the periods is considered, the progress of the world civilisation in each period is stressed.

The second part of the first volume is dedicated to the late archaic (Middle Bronze Age) and postarchaic (Late Bronze Age) history. In the late archaic (5 and 6 periods of the first cycle) there is still possible a comparison with the New World civilisations (including the isle of the Easter). The postarchaic (7th till 9th periods) is different.This stage of development was not reached by the New World civilisations, because of the European conquest they come immediately to the 3rd cycle (new history). Here the comparison is possible only between the civilisations of the Old World: the "old" civilisations, the "intermediary" (e.g. Hethitic and Ugarit) and the "new" civilisations (Greek, Jewish, Indian and Chinese), which begin their development at this time. In the postarchaic the "old" civilisations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Elam) are still in the vanguard of the historical development, the "intermediary" disappear at the end of the cycle ("dark ages").

From Adam to Saddam. The history of the world civilisation.
Vol. 2.Part 1.

The volume is dedicated to the memory of the Russian classical philologist A.I.Zaicev (1926-2000).

The first part of tthe second volume is dedicated to the "antiquity" (first part of the second cycle), which includes 10th till 13th periods (800 B.C.E.-200 C.E.) and exists only in the Old World. It corresponds to the Iron Age, the formation is slaveowners'. 5 main "new" civilisations (Greek, Jewish, Iranian, Indian and Chinese) coexist with the "old" civilisations (Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Elam). The development of the new civilisations (main and secondary) and of the old civilisations is considered parallel in each period, a special attention is given to the contacts between the civilisations. The end of the antiquity comes, according to the author, already at the beginning of the 3rd century C.E. because of the crisis of 4 great empires, dividing the world-Roman, Parthian, Kushan and Han.
Then the brief outline of the medieval (second part of the second cycle, periods 14 till 18) and the new history (1st part of the 3rd cycle, periods 19 till the beginning of 21) is given. The strict mathematic order of the history gives also possibility to predict the future development until the end of the present third cycle (3700).
