This book continues the series of editions of the "Clio" series, dedicated to the history and cultural heritage of Riga. Any part of it may be reproduced in any form and by any means for good purposes. Popularization and dissemination of historical knowledge is the main goal of our project. "Moscow Forshtadt. A vanishing fragment of a vanished world. Many wooden houses here are more than 170 years old. Some of them still remember the times when Anna Petrovna Kern's heels clacked on the cobblestones of Riga. They remember the era when women were charming and mysterious, and men stood up at the sight of ladies entering. They remember the times of pretty young ladies in elegant hats and brilliant officers who responded to insults with an accurate dueling shot. They remember the staid merchants-labazniki and the dashing Forshtadt gang... But unfortunately, time moves inexorably forward, and we must hurry to immortalize the memory of the past, before everything worthy or, on the contrary, imperfect, which has long been associated with this wonderful place, is finally weathered and gone into oblivion. This book tells about Moskovski forstadt, the most Russian neighborhood of Riga." Igor Gusev.
