19.99 €
Rustam Rakhmatullin, a writer, essayist, and local historian who has spent many years studying the history of Moscow, reinterprets the field of Moscow studies. Using unexpected comparisons and inferences, he takes the reader through both the visible and invisible capital. Comparing it to Rome, Jerusalem, Constantinople, as well as St. Petersburg and other Russian cities, he sees Moscow as a miraculous manifestation of a Supreme Design, embodied over many centuries in historical events, artistic monuments, urban topography, and the symbolic space of the city's monasteries and former country estates. This applies to the times of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Russian Tsardom, the St. Petersburg era, and the 20th century. In the deeds of Ivan Kalita and Saint Metropolitan Peter, Ivan III and Ivan the Terrible, the first printer Ivan Fedorov and Prince Pozharsky, Peter I and Catherine II, the architects Bazhenov and Kazakov and many other heroes of the book.
