Historiography

Now that the conclusions of my research have been formulated, it is possible to start reading the historiography on the topic – it no longer poses the danger of having a decisive influence on my thoughts.
I want to start with a valuable historiographical article by A. Deduk [Deduk A. V. "List of Rus’ towns distant and near ones": history of study. – "Russian book writer – 2014", Moscow, 2015, p. 129 – 141]. In particular, the early (before 1952) opinions of researchers about the SRG were considered there – all of them were cursory and did not rely on the study of the SRG as a whole. I will consider the later historiography myself, guided by Deduk’s article only as a bibliographical guide.
Mikhail Tikhomirov (1952)
Yevhen Naumov (1974)
Aleksandr Podosinov (1978)
Valentin Yanin (1998)
Thomas Baranauskas (2003)
Eduard Zajkovsky (2015)
Vladimir Kuchkin (2015)
Tonight (somewhere around 2:25) I had the pleasure of listening to anti-aircraft artillery rounds, already familiar to me, interspersed with new to me rounds of dry, short gunshots (I think, anti-aircraft machine guns). Also, for a short time (10..15 seconds) I heard the characteristic howl of "Shahed" (this sound cannot be confused with anything, and it turns out that it flew somewhere not far away, probably no more than 2 km from me). Also heard 3 or 4 relatively distant explosions.
They wrote, that the debris broke the gas pipe of a 5-story residential building in the Pechersk district, a fire broke out.
The next episode lasted from 7:05 to 7:07 – again dry intermittent sounds (machine guns?), then louder and more prolonged (cannons?), two distant explosions and one relatively close to me, loud. This attack marked separately, they have not yet written about its consequences (September 26 at 7:45).

Two purely online works on the topic are available on the Internet:
1, article in Russian Wikipedia valuable for its list of literature, which is constantly updated and contains, among others, the latest articles on the topic. Since historiography is often reduced to a bibliographic list, this anonymous (as always on Wikipedia) article should be considered a valuable contribution to the study of the topic. I actively used these instructions. Other language versions of this article are free of charge.
2, the interactive map according to the materials of the SRG was developed in the Russian Institute of General History.
At 10:00 there was another air alarm (the previous ones were around 00:00 and 2:00), apparently without consequence. They wrote, that two victims were injured in Kyiv.
No wonder NATO is afraid of Muscovites! It is unable to even protect its own territory, as shown by numerous facts of violation of the airspace of NATO countries by rotten-straw attack air vehicles (September 26 at 12:38).
Thus, the first systematic study of SRG was conducted by M. Tikhomirov, the second by me.
The researchers were mainly interested in the time of compilation of the SRG and to a lesser extent – the purpose of its compilation and the place of writing. A major drawback of the studies was the fragmentary study of small parts of the SRG (if such research led to dating, then only this fragment, not the SRG as a whole). The second unfortunate drawback is the blind trust in the headlines of the SRG and the attempt to see some political geography in the blocks of records.
The most important contribution to SRG research was made by M. Tikhomirov and V. Kuchkin. Against this background, I began to respect my work more, which brings a lot of new things to the methodology of researching lists of geographical objects and to specific interpretations of names, as well as to a number of other issues that have not been clarified until now. Well, if you don’t praise yourself – no one will think of doing it.
