How did a tablecloth embroidered in the village of Kadom end up on the table of the Queen of England? Why was Michurin expelled from the gymnasium in Pronne? Why did a landowner from Elatma decide to fly to the moon and how did it end? Continuing the artistic study of the Russian countryside, begun in the book "Unprinted Gingerbread", Mikhail Baru writes new witty essays about not the most famous cities and towns - Sergach, Skopin, Mikhailov, Zavolzhsk, Shatsk and others, creating his own Chronicle, his Tsar's Book of the Russian province. The modest county facade of these towns often hides not only the charm of local color, but also traces of a great history: the fates of these settlements, as well as their inhabitants, turn out to be rich in dramatic events, and changes of epochs, wars and other national tragedies were lived here no less intensively than in the capitals. Through these stories about small and very small towns, as through the glasses in a kaleidoscope, the pattern of our common historical destiny is revealed. Mikhail Baru is a poet, prose writer, translator, chemical engineer, and author of the book "Unprinted Gingerbread", published in the publishing house "UFO".
