This book continues the cycle of editions of the Klio series dedicated to the history and cultural heritage of Riga. Any part of it for good purposes can be reproduced in any form and in any way. Popularization and dissemination of historical knowledge is the main goal of our project. "Moscow outskirts. A vanishing fragment of a vanished world. Many wooden houses here are over 170 years old. Some of them still remember the times when the heels of Anna Petrovna Kern's shoes clattered on the cobblestone pavements of Riga. They remember that era when women were charming and mysterious, and men got up at the sight of ladies entering. They remember the times of lovely young ladies in elegant hats and brilliant officers who responded to an insult with a well-aimed dueling shot. They remember sedate labaznik merchants and dashing Vorstadt punks ... But unfortunately, time is moving inexorably forward, and we must hurry to perpetuate the memory of the past, until everything that is worthy or, on the contrary, imperfect, which has long been associated with this wonderful place. This book tells about the Moscow outskirts, about the Russian district of Riga.” Igor Gusev.
