The more than thousand-year tradition of fur use is one of the most important mythologemes of Russian material culture. The love for fur clothing is equally often mentioned in both foreign and domestic sources that comprehend the specifics of national fashion. The book by Bella Shapiro and Denis Lyapin is one of the first large-scale studies to trace how this tradition was formed and changed from ancient Russia to the present. The authors consider fur as a multilevel hypertext and tell the story not of styles and silhouettes, but of the ideas accompanying the fate of Russian fur - political, socio-economic and scientific. Bella Shapiro - Doctor of Cultural Studies, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Cinema and Contemporary Art at the Russian State University of Fine Arts, Professor of the Department of Philosophy and Social and Humanitarian Disciplines at the Moscow Art Theatre Studio School. Denis Lyapin - Doctor of Historical Sciences, Head of the Department of History and Historical and Cultural Heritage of I.A. Bunin YSU.
