In the XVIII-XIX centuries, German entrepreneurs actively moved to Russia. Leaving Germany, where trade was complicated by the fragmentation of the country, some of them hoped to improve their business, which was not very successful at home, and others - to increase their capital. The collection, compiled by the German historian Wolfgang Sartor, contains the memoirs of three Moscow businessmen of German origin (Georg Spies (1861-1926), Walter Mark (1873-1950) and Andreas Zenker (1855-1928)) about the life of the German colony in Moscow, about the German firms that existed there and their managers, about their contacts with Russian businessmen, administrators and cultural figures. The memoirs contain both general observations about the conditions of business activity in Russia and private remarks about the manners and customs of Russians. The book's characters also describe specific events, from the coronation of Nicholas II and the crush on Khodynskoye Pole to the All-Russian Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod in 1896 and the German pogroms in 1914. Wolfgang Sartor is a historian and independent researcher.
