How did a tablecloth embroidered in the village of Kadom end up on the table of the English queen? Why was Michurin expelled from the Pronsk gymnasium? Why did the landowner from Yelatma decide to fly to the moon and how did it end? Continuing the artistic study of the Russian hinterland, begun in the book "Unprinted Gingerbread", Mikhail Baru writes new witty essays on not the most famous cities and towns - Sergach, Skopin, Mikhailov, Zavolzhsk, Shatsk and others, creating his own personal annalistic code, his Tsar- book about the Russian provinces. Behind the modest county facade of these towns, not only the charm of local color is often hidden, but also traces of a great history: the fate of these settlements, like their inhabitants, turns out to be rich in dramatic events, and the change of eras, 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 pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope, the pattern of our common historical destiny is revealed. Mikhail Baru is a poet, prose writer, translator, chemical engineer, author of the book “Unprinted Gingerbread”, published by the UFO publishing house.
