Preface
This work began in 1996 and lasted quite briskly until the end of 1997, when were written the first 11 author's sheets. After this becane big break – until 2003. I justify the fact that did not sit idly: for this time began and ended with the publication of Bibliography of old Ukraine", which took some time (200 author's sheets of in a single day will not do), launched into orbit program Myslene drevo" (which is also 100 author's sheets of only the text of the program, and how much effort required to debug a program – that none of the non-programmer does not understand: ""). Now I decided to take a break from programming and do something easier, such as science. And with that I started the second route of this work. Some sections that were written in 1997, and that I like now, I did not bother to update it.
Become more difficult to deal with the work title. I originally called it the "Laws by Lev Gumilev". Then, in order to make the name more transparent and understandable, proposed options "Ethnogenetic laws by Lev Gumilev, "Lev Gumilev and the laws of ethnogenesis", "Lev Gumilev or Laws of ethnogenesis," "Or Lev Gumilev – or the laws of ethnogenesis." Finally, all these options were rejected, and I decided to divide the work into two parts. The first, devoted to Lev Gumilev, now before you. Second, dedicated to my argument about the legality of ethnogenesis, now ponder and – inshallah! – will once written.
