"New Year in the Russian Empire" is a winter collection of Russian classics that transports you to the festive life of pre-revolutionary Russia.

In 1699, Peter the Great moved New Year's to January 1st and, following foreign traditions, ordered houses to be decorated with pine branches, "fireworks" lit, festivities and masquerades held, and gifts exchanged. This tradition took a long time to establish itself, acquiring its own flavor and becoming an integral part of Russian culture and everyday life.

The stories in this collection are set in the Russian Empire and are imbued with the atmosphere of that time and the spirit of the main winter holiday, when selflessness triumphs over avarice, compassion saves innocent lives, and repentance heals the hardest soul.

The book includes "The Pearl Necklace" and "The Beast" by Nikolai Leskov, "Christmas in Moscow" by Ivan Shmelev, "The Cabby" by Maxim Gorky, and others.
