Parathichion is the Greek name for the outer perimeter of the ancient walls of Constantinople. The novel Parathichion is an almost 20-year history of war and peace, culminating in the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. This book is based entirely on historical facts and events, as well as on the records of that time known to us.

Kyiv and Krakow, Rome and Constantinople, Russia and Muscovy, Germany and Italy, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, politics and war, Christianity and Islam, Catholicism and Orthodoxy, attempts at union and church separatism - the problems of this plot are complex, controversial, and surprisingly, extremely relevant in our time.

After all, it was then that the foundations of many future conflicts and problems were laid, many of which still have no solution: the unity of Europe, the search for new ways of trade and communication, the destruction of the Kyiv Metropolis, the alienation and ecclesiastical personification of Muscovy, and numerous contradictions in the Balkans.

At the centre of the events that formed the basis of the novel is a mysterious historical figure - a scribe and warrior, a Kyivan Rusyn named Nestor-Iskander, who was destined to travel across Europe at that time, take part in the complex events of those turbulent years and write his world-famous book The Tale of the Conquest of Tsarigrad by the Turks.
