The first stories by A. O. Ishimova were enthusiastically received by both leading Russian writers and young readers. She told the story of Russia for children, similar to how W. Scott told the story of England to English children. Previously, the writer studied all the sources available at that time on Russian history, and above all, the "History of the Russian State" by N. M. Karamzin. "Ms. Ishimova's story is so picturesque, lively, fascinating, and the language is so beautiful that reading her story is a real pleasure - not for children, for whom reading history, whatever it is, is completely useless, because for them there is nothing interesting or accessible in it, but for young people, adults and even old people. Russian literature's “History” by Ms. Ishimova is an important acquisition.: her composition is so rich in other virtues, among which the first place is occupied by an excellent story and excellent language, revealing a firm hand, literary experience, thorough study of the subject, tireless diligence," wrote V. G. Belinsky. A special feature of this publication is the rich illustrative material, carefully selected from the best museums in Russia and private collections, which will help to introduce the child to the masterpieces of Russian historical painting.
