Girls Who Glorified Russia. Book 2

A new book from Alexander?—No: from the series “Girls Who Made Russia Famous”—invites you on an exciting journey through the eras and fates of outstanding compatriot women. On its pages, a child will meet Catherine II and Maria Volkonskaya, Maya Plisetskaya and Yelena Obraztsova, Zinaida Serebryakova and Vera Kholodnaya, and other famous figures. You’ll learn what they were like as children: what they played, what interested them, how they studied, argued, made mistakes, experienced joys and sorrows, and step by step found their calling—because not everything worked out for them right away.

The collection includes 20 biographical stories written for children aged 7–10. Each one shows an example of character strength, perseverance, and belief in oneself— inspiring girls to achieve their own goals. The stories are complemented with vivid full-page illustrations and interesting facts so that meeting the heroines is visual and captivating. It’s also a wonderful gift for everyone who values Russian history and culture.

The books in the series have received high recognition: in 2024 they were nominated for a Russian public society “Knowledge” award in the category “Best educational book.” The edition preserves the publishing layout in PDF A4 format.
