Page "New Chronology (Fomenko)" Paragraph 67

James Billington, formerly professor of Russian history at Harvard and Princeton and currently the Librarian of Congress placed Fomenko's work within the context of the political movement of Eurasianism, which sought to tie Russian history closely to that of its Asian neighbors.

Billington describes Fomenko as ascribing the belief in past hostility between Russia and the Mongols to the influence of Western historians.

Thus, by Fomenko's chronology, " Russia and Turkey are parts of a previously single empire.

" A French reviewer of Billington's book noted approvingly his concern with the phantasmagorical conceptions of Fomenko about the global " new chronology ".
