Originally written in Russian, it has been translated and sold in many languages, although the Tolkien estate has prevented the work from being commercially released in English. As such, the English translation can be downloaded for free [[http://ymarkov.livejournal.com/280578.html here]]. NeedsWikiMagic.

* ScienceIsBad: Inverted.

* OurOrcAreDifferent: Subverted. The inhabitants of Mordor are called "Orcs" by the western civilizations but they are entirely human.

* {{Demonization}}: Of Elves, Valars and magic in general.

* HenpeckedHusband: Aragorn is treated by his wife as mere puppet. [[spoiler: He isn't.]]

* TheDungAges: Gondor and Rohan, espicially if compared to enlightened Mordor.
* EvilPrince: Eloar, who enjoys massacring civilains, including women and children for no reason.
* FantasticRacism: Elves think of humans like about animals, and value their human allies not more than domestic animnals.

* OurElvesAreBetter: Inverted. Elves are smug, racist, genocidial and arrogant.

** {{Invoked|Trope}} in a mean-spirited example by Aragorn, who challenges a Mordorian general to an honourable duel, only to have him shot in the back, quipping "the history books will say you got shot by a midget and a broad".

* TheAtoner: Tangorn, even though all he did wrong was write a report that was misused by others. [[spoiler:Eventually gets RedemptionEqualsDeath, but never knows he'd been redeemed.]] It's that kind of story.
* [[spoiler:TheMagicGoesAway]]
* TheRepublic: Mordor.
** [[spoiler:And eventually Gondor.]]

* RomanticismVersusEnlightenment: The narrative is very pro-Enlightenment, in direct contrast with the original book.

* WrittenByTheWinners: The entire premise.
