Was there intimate life in Russia? More precisely: what was it like? Someone has heard of dashing pagan festivities, someone - the rigid Christian norms.Rus pagan, Rus Christian, Rus tsarist and peasant - all these bright facets of one history, full of surprises and contradictions. "Intimate Russia" - a guide to it, so complex and confusing, but at the same time native and close.You will learn how people lived and loved each other in the families of princes and royal, boyars and peasants, in the families of slaves and ordinary townspeople. How they confessed their feelings, how they concluded marriages, how they divorced and even what sexual practices they preferred - the authors tell about all this and much more vividly and without unnecessary embarrassment.Leave bashfulness and you: on the pages of this book it will definitely not be useful to you!
