The renowned Moscow journalist and writer, who entered the world of literature with A.P. Chekhov, the poet of the "Nekrasov lyre," V.A. Gilyarovsky (1853-1935), was most famous among his contemporaries as an expert and chronicler of Moscow. Uncle Gilyai, as Chekhov affectionately dubbed his friend, knew his hometown by heart and traveled it extensively. Muscovites (and not only Muscovites) of all social classes knew and loved him; his articles were read avidly, and his opinions were heeded.

Eksmo and the editorial staff of RUSSPASS Magazine, an online publication about tourism in Moscow and Russia, invite you to join us on a tour along Vladimir Gilyarovsky's route with our unique publication. We'll tell you what's now on the aforementioned streets, where to stop, what to see, and where to catch the spirit of Uncle Gilyai!

Each chapter is accompanied by commentary from the RUSSPASS Magazine team about what currently stands in the places Gilyarovsky described and what to do in the surrounding area.

The end of the book includes pages for travel notes ("I've been there, I've eaten here, I've drunk here, I've seen here, I'll be back here"), making the book a truly personalized guidebook and travel diary.

The back cover features QR codes leading to a special RUSSPASS tour and a fascinating article about Gilyarovsky's places.
