How and what did Moscow live like at the beginning of the 20th century? How much did a crispy French roll and a summer dacha, a restaurant lunch and a fashionable hat cost? How did Muscovites relax, meet new people, and find life partners—and what replaced social media for the city's residents?
City gossip and legends, drinking spots and transportation, police work, social life, and the everyday life of ordinary Muscovites... you'll rise above time, as if to the capital's first skyscrapers, and take a detailed look at that distant, forever-gone Moscow.
The book's authors, acknowledged experts on Moscow life, Vladimir Ruga and Andrei Kokorev, have created their own version of "Moscow and Muscovites"—with a much more detailed description of everyday life in the First Throne, detailing details that sometimes escaped Gilyarovsky's attention, but which are incredibly interesting to us. "Moscow Everyday" will speak to you in the voices of Muscovites who lived more than a century ago: they will emerge from diaries and memoirs, newspaper and magazine essays, short stories, and novels.
Rare illustrations, caricatures, photographs, and advertisements from periodicals of that era will make this journey to old Moscow even more unique.
