How and what did the young ladies and ladies of Moscow live on in the second half of the 20th - early 20th century? Long before the advent of social networks and online shopping, quests and dating sites, social networks and so on? What did their day look like, what occupied their thoughts and hearts? Children, kitchens, sewing - is that really all?
Not at all: even in those days, life in Moscow was in full swing - even without the Internet and television. And the face of Moscow was already recognizably feminine...
Vladimir Ruga and Andrey Kokorev reveal the many faces of Moscow for women in the calmest and most abundant period of the ancient Russian capital, in which women played, perhaps, the most important role in history.
We will follow the lives of Muscovites of all ages against the backdrop of the era of fashion magazines and the heyday of women's movements and circles, an era when technical progress radically changed not only everyday life, but also the entire daily life of Muscovites. The inhabitants of noble alleys and yesterday's peasants from the villages near Moscow, "newcomers" and socialites - they will all appear before us, showing all aspects of Moscow life in those years: business, family, social and... secret.
This is an indispensable guide to the lives of Moscow women, full of vivid details and living testimonies.
