It's interesting, after all, what do people in power eat? Presidents, emperors, tsars... How different is their diet from that of ordinary people? What do they prefer? What do they value in food: simplicity, sophistication, health?
This book will answer these questions, telling not only about the dishes eaten by Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great, Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, Nicholas I and Nicholas II, and all the Alexanders—Russian emperors—but also presenting recipes for Soviet leaders: V. Lenin, I. Stalin, N. Khrushchev, L. Brezhnev, Yu. Andropov, as well as Russian presidents. Incidentally, all of them, whether tsar or general secretary, adored Russian soups, porridges, cutlets, and pies. You'll be surprised at how unpretentious the people at the pinnacle of state power are when it comes to food.
The book also includes historical information on the reigns of all Russian sovereigns, Soviet leaders, and Russian presidents, and introduces the origins and distribution of various foods and dishes in Russia.
