"Better to have a profitable house in Moscow than a gold mine in Siberia." Folk wisdom. We have all heard about the tenement houses of St. Petersburg - the pride of the "northern capital" and a popular place for excursions. But after all, apartment buildings in Moscow are also not inferior to them in luxury and significance. They were also erected by the best architects of their time, richly decorating facades and porches. We just hear about them for some reason less often. Photographer, blogger, amateur local historian and writer Elena Krizhevskaya in her new book will prove to you that the real Moscow is not only the Kremlin, the City and Stalinist skyscrapers, but also hundreds of tenement houses located in the very heart of the city. You will learn their stories and look inside. The houses where Bulgakov and Lilya Brik lived, the first “skyscrapers” of the capital, gothic and Venetian stylings, wrought-iron staircases and unique stained-glass windows — open this book and see that an apartment in Moscow was a symbol of wealth and an object of desire more than a hundred years ago. Each page in this illustrated edition is a replica of the living history of Russia, which has come down to our days.
