Village professions and occupations of old Russia

Our ancestors who lived in villages and towns were real craftsmen and most of all they valued each other's hard work. Every man could plow and sow the land, build a bathhouse or a hut, and a woman could spin more than one skein of thread and weave fabric from them. But the activities of Russian peasants did not end there, because the villages had a wide variety of trades and crafts. This book will introduce readers to a tar distiller and a tanner, a farrier and a lace maker and many other masters of their craft, each chapter about whom is accompanied by old photographs and colorful drawings. It will also tell you what it means to "make decorations", without whom not a single holiday in the village took place, from whom the lumberjacks asked permission to work and why the sower buried two red eggs in the ground.
