In connection with the 15th All-Russian Archaeological Congress, which was to be held in 1911 in Veliky Novgorod and where it was supposed to consider issues of research in the North-West of Russia, including Pskov, N.F.Okulich-Kazarin was commissioned to write a guide to ancient Pskov. Nikolai Fomich was not satisfied with studying all the written sources known to him, he collected stories of old-timers and oral traditions, personally climbed (at the age of sixty!) I examined all the ruins, churches, towers, houses, church utensils and so on. When writing Sputnik, various historical documents were used, including over ninety literary sources. Sputnik was published in 1911 with the subtitle "To Lovers of native Antiquity", with 61 photographs taken by the remarkable Pskov photographer, honorary member of the Pskov Archaeological Society O. I. Parli, and four plans. Written in a good literary language, Sputnik introduces the reader to the history, architecture, and applied art of ancient Pskov. This book, according to August Karlovich Janson, "revealed Pskov to many Pskov residents, just as Columbus discovered America."
