In 1965, the orientalist historian Igor Vsevolodovich Mozheiko (1934–2003), known in the academic community for his work on the history of Southeast Asia, defended his candidate's dissertation on "The Pagan State (11th–13th centuries)," and in 1981, his doctoral dissertation on "The Buddhist Sangha and the State in Burma." Meanwhile, all Soviet teenagers (and many adults too!) were engrossed in the works of the nation-famous science fiction writer Kir Bulychev. And only a few knew that the scholar Igor Mozheiko and the creator of Alisa Selezneva were one and the same person.
"7 and 37 Wonders of the World" is an entertaining account of outstanding architectural and artistic monuments from the classical list of the "Seven Wonders of the World." But it is not just about them: the author significantly expanded this textbook list to give credit to the remarkable creations of human genius that were produced outside the world known to the ancient Greeks.
