Andronovo culture is the largest Eurasian formation in the Bronze Age, and it had a significant impact on neighboring regions. It is the important culture for understanding many historical processes, in particular, the origins and migration of Indo-Europeans. However, in most works there is a very simplified understanding of the scientific problems associated with this culture. The history of its study is full of opposing opinions, and all these opinions were based on reliable grounds. For a long time, the existence of the Andronovo problem was caused by the fact that researchers supposed they might explain general processes by local situations. In fact, the term “Andronovo culture” is incorrect. Another term “Andronovo cultural-historical commonality” also has no signs of scientific terminology. Under these terms a large number of cultures are combined, many of which were not related to each other. In the most simplified form, they can be combined into two blocks that existed during the Bronze Age: the steppe (Sintashta, Petrovka, Alakul, Sargari) and the forest-steppe (Fyodorovka, Cherkaskul, Mezhovka). Often these cultures are placed in vertical lines with genetic continuity. However, the problems of their chronology and interaction are very complicated. By Andronovo cultures we may understand only Fyodorovka and Alakul cultures (except for its early stage); however, it is better to avoid the use of this term.

Andronovo问题：欧亚青铜时代的文化起源研究

安德罗诺沃文化是青铜时代最大的欧亚文化，对邻近地区产生了重大影响。它是了解许多历史过程的重要文化，特别是了解印欧语系的起源和迁徙。但是，在大多数作品中，对与这种文化相关的科学问题的理解非常简单。它的研究历史充满了反对意见，所有这些意见都是基于可靠的依据。长期以来，安德罗诺沃问题的存在是由于以下事实引起的：研究人员认为他们可以根据当地情况来解释一般过程。实际上，“安德罗诺沃文化”一词是不正确的。另一个术语“安德罗诺沃文化与历史的共性”也没有科学术语的迹象。在这些术语下，大量的文化被合并在一起，其中许多彼此不相关。以最简化的形式，它们可以组合成青铜时代存在的两个区块：草原（Sintashta，Petrovka，Alakul，Sargari）和森林草原（Fyodorovka，Cherkaskul，Mezhovka）。通常，这些文化被置于具有遗传连续性的垂直线中。但是，它们的年代和相互作用的问题非常复杂。通过安德罗诺沃文化，我们可能只了解费奥多罗夫卡和阿拉克勒文化（早期除外）。但是，最好避免使用此术语。Sargari）和森林草原（Fyodorovka，Cherkaskul，Mezhovka）。通常，这些文化被置于具有遗传连续性的垂直线中。但是，它们的年代和相互作用的问题非常复杂。通过安德罗诺沃文化，我们可能只了解费奥多罗夫卡和阿拉克勒文化（早期除外）。但是，最好避免使用此术语。Sargari）和森林草原（Fyodorovka，Cherkaskul，Mezhovka）。通常，这些文化被置于具有遗传连续性的垂直线中。但是，它们的年代和相互作用的问题非常复杂。通过安德罗诺沃文化，我们可能只了解费奥多罗夫卡和阿拉克勒文化（早期除外）。但是，最好避免使用此术语。
