This remarkable collection of essays has been called by critics an "encyclopedia of Russian life at the turn of the centuries." It brings to life the colorful, multifaceted Moscow of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Readers wander through lavish merchant feasts, mysterious antique shops, and the notorious alleys of Khitrovka, following both rascally bandits and famous Moscow police. The book also explores the ancient catacombs of Neglinnaya and captures the bustling atmosphere of the vibrant Okhotny Ryad. The volume is designed for anyone interested in the social and cultural fabric of historic Moscow.
