Anatoly Petrovich Novoseltsev was a Russian orientalist who brought to light and translated into Russian a slew of obscure Persian and Arab documents relating to the early history of Kievan Rus'.
Together with Vladimir Pashuto he authored The Foreign Policy of Ancient Rus, a groundbreaking study that demonstrated that Rus' had been as active in the Caucasus and Central Asia as it had been in Europe. He later published a sketch of the history of Khazaria and opposed the Anti-Normanist dogma perpetuated in the official Soviet historiography by the likes of Boris Rybakov.
