Description
This is one of the best books about Moscow. Published in 1893, it remains one of the favorite books of Muscovites — and not only theirs — where everyday life and customs of ancient Moscow and the history of its sights are described in a vivid, lively language.
The publication is intended for a wide range of readers, and it can also be used as a teaching aid in schools when preparing lessons on the history of the city, local history (краєзнавство), and literature.
