And he was also included in the list of co-authors for a modern textbook on economics. It's hard not to agree that the topic is now extremely relevant.

Battle of Borodino
The first book I would like to discuss is the Battle of Borodino, published in 2008. The publication is small (only 176 pages of text), but it is large-format and illustrated, and also belongs to the category of rare ones, since the circulation was only 4,000 copies. The book was first presented in Moscow, now it can be found on the shelves of the largest bookstores or you can read the text inonline libraries.
The battle of Borodino is the most massive and bloody battle of the Patriotic War of 1812, it is often described as the main battle of Russian history, and it is also often said that it is a symbol of Russian military glory. It was she who was dedicated to hundreds of paintings and colorful descriptions in fiction. But there are still a lot of controversial issues that arise regarding the battle of Borodino. And this is even if you do not touch the works of Western historians. What are the real statistics regarding the balance of power before the battle, and what are the losses of both sides after it? Until now, researchers can not come to a consensus. But the most important, paradoxical as it may seem, is the question of who won after all. This has been debated since the nineteenth century, and it is still being argued about.
So what is the difference between Boris Yulin's book and numerous works on the same issue? The fact that the author approaches these issues from a very unexpected angle. The writer's view is very fresh, innovative, and to many, this may seem like fiction. But Yulin very intelligibly explains his position, backing it up with historical sources. After analyzing the plans of Bonaparte and Kutuzov, their decisions regarding the battle, he correlates this information with genuine maps of the area, not forgetting to characterize the weapons of both sides. The conclusions turned out to be very non-trivial.
Initially, the author himself wanted to call the book in a different way: "Borodino. Stand and die." But publishers, having familiarized themselves withtext, we decided that a more concise version is more suitable. The book is replete with quotations from the historical community, as well as from the commanders of the Russian and French armies themselves. All quotes have author's comments, and in the reference material you can find interesting facts about the weapons of both sides. And this is no exaggeration, since the author is well versed in this issue. The readers were also surprised by the abundance of illustrations that appropriately complement the story, some of them were drawn personally by Boris Vitalyevich, for example, diagrams of some battles in stages.
Reviews from critics were very favorable.
Myths of the Great Patriotic War-2
This book was written by Boris Yulin in collaboration with other modern historians. It was released in 2009 and won many positive reviews from critics. Although the publication has plenty of ill-wishers.
What modern pseudo-historians do not come up with to denigrate the Soviet period of national history. This is especially true of the history of the Great Patriotic War. This book was created in order to refute the terrible slander that spreads on the pages of magazines, as well as on the radio waves and on the pages of Internet publications. The holy war is what they call these terrible four years, to denigrate the generals or the facts is a base thing. It is necessary to honor our history, defending the truth and the memory of our great-grandfathers. Standing up for your past, not slandering it, is the goal of this book and its authors.

The book is brand new, written last year, has a large circulation and unconditional popularity among economics experts. This textbook was created by a group of authors, including Boris Yulin.

This textbook considers the issues of organizing a security system, it introduces readers to the main strategic and regulatory legal documents.
