From diorama to panorama (about the perspectives on the way of solving the problem of the Northern Pont crisis of the III c.B.C.) The article is dedicated to the analyses of the 4 exiting today conceptions of the death of Great Scythia: «Sarmatian», «CelticGalatian», «economic» and «climate». The author thinks that in the works of last years the preference is given to the hybrid of «Sarmatian-Celtic» version of the explanation of events of III c.B.C. Pointing out to the possibility of such a variant the author thinks its necessary to remind that it is contradicted by some facts. Thus, the traces of ruin in early III c.B.C. are noted only at the rural settlements of Low Bug area. These traces are absent at the settlements of Low Dniester area and are practically absent in the Low Dnieper area. There are no Sarmatian burials of III c.B.C. in the Northern Black Sea area. In general, in author’s opinion, the modern interpretation does not take into account that in the western, Dniester-Danube area of the steppe Scythia in the III c.B.C. there continued to exist some kind of Scythian isolated community. Evidently it did not experience the attacks of Sarmatians. Besides in the late III c.B.C. there appeared Scythian fortress on the Low Dnieper. This contradicts the idea that in early III c.B.C. Sarmatians «exterminated» the population of the steppe Scythia. In such a situation the author thinks its necessary to address again his conception that he develops about the economic reasons of the crisis of the III c.B.C. and to bring new arguments in its favor. The author believes that in future the most perspective approach to the solution of the problem is a synthesized one based on all 4 conceptions. The premise of the solution of the problem is the solution of the following tasks: elaboration of chronology of rural settlements of Low Bug area and Dniester area, chronology of mounds, chronology of Scythian and Thracian monuments of III-II c. B.C. in Low Danube area and the solution of the problem of death of Getica.
