More than a thousand-year tradition of using fur is one of the most important mythologems of Russian material culture. The love for fur clothes is equally often mentioned both in foreign and domestic sources, comprehending the specifics of national fashion. The book by Bella Shapiro and Denis Lyapin is one of the first large-scale studies designed to trace how this tradition was formed and changed from Ancient Rus' to the present. The authors consider fur as a multi-level hypertext and tell the story not of styles and silhouettes, but of political, socio-economic and scientific ideas that accompany the fate of Russian fur. Bella Shapiro — Doctor of Cultural Studies, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Cinema and Contemporary Art of the Russian State Humanitarian University, Professor of the Department of Philosophy and Social and Humanitarian Disciplines of the Moscow Art Theater School. Denis Lyapin - Doctor of Historical Sciences, Head of the Department of History and Historical and Cultural Heritage of Yerevan State University. I.A. Bunin.
