This book has long become a bibliographic rarity, despite several reprints. Its uniqueness lies not only in the fact that it tells how Moscow streets were created, how their appearance changed, how some of them died out or were destroyed and new ones appeared, how their names arose and changed—but also in the author’s personality. The well-known local historian, historian, and expert on Moscow, Pyotr Vasilyevich Sytin, managed to collect and systematize information about the history of literally every back street of this vast city.
Issue 1. Inside the Boulevard Ring tells about the central part of the city within the Boulevard Ring.
Issue 2. Inside the Garden Ring tells about streets, squares, and embankments within the Garden Ring.
Issue 3. Around the Garden Ring tells about new districts of Moscow built in Soviet times around the Garden Ring.
