Pop Gapon and Japanese rifles: 15 startling stories from pre-revolutionary Russia
9.99 €
This book contains the stories of people who lived in the Russian Empire in the early 20th century: poets, bankers, femme fatales, hoaxers, politicians, movie producers. Some of the heroes are famous, some are forgotten, but even the celebrities here do not look bronzed. Leo Tolstoy quarrels with his wife over money, and the first paparazzi stealthily shoots him. Futurist poets are touring the country, performing in small clubs, staging street performances and happily giving rise to yellow headlines in the newspapers. Andrei Aksyonov - teacher, popularizer of history, author of the podcast "The Decline of Empire" - in his book fascinatingly tells about people, events and phenomena of that period of our country, when everything was changing before our eyes and no one could predict how it would end in a few years.
