The paper presents an experimental map of archaeological cultural areas of the East European Plain

in the 10th century, each of which represents a set of archaeological cultures and groups of

archaeological complexes similar in a number of characteristics. In the paper the necessity of

revision of traditional approach to the interpretation of the archaeological date of the East European

plain, which is based on a rigid, but often a priori binding of groups of archaeological monuments to

politonyms and ethnonyms, known from written sources, is substantiated. Since archaeological

cultures have been named on the basis of such identifications, there is a need to revise the principles

of their designation (naming). A bird’s-eye view of the East European Plain made it possible to see

the process of the revolutionary transformation of this part of the geopolitical mega-structure of

Eurasia, which took place during the “long 10th century”, from the last quarter of the 9th to the

middle of the 11th century.
