The first ten years of the existence of cinema in Russia were a time of great discoveries, but also of unfulfilled hopes. You can now immerse yourself in the live experience of the moviegoer of the beginning of the last century not only by watching surviving films, but also by looking at the cards of popular actresses, posters, trade advertisements, candy wrappers and drawings from the Satyricon magazine. In this book, for the first time, two worlds collided: Russian pre-revolutionary cinema and Russian modernist caricature - two sides of the mirror of Russian life broken by the revolution. The informal intimate style of the book-album "The Silent Empire" suggests in the reader a desire not so much to get another encyclopedia with a set of facts, but to try to experience the atmosphere of imperial (semi-)cultural life in a different way before and shortly after the statistically legendary 1913. Silent cinema appears not as a strange boring alien art, but as an intimate mood of the modernist consciousness.
