Mikhail Ivanovich Pilyaev (1842-1899) was born in Gdov, studied in St. Petersburg, listened to lectures at Kharkov University, traveled extensively, including Siberia and the Caucasus, Turkey and Egypt. In metropolitan editions Mikhail Pyliaev published articles on the history of theater and ballet, reviews of art exhibitions, wrote about the events of cultural life in St. Petersburg. In 1879 several articles about St. Petersburg antiquity laid the foundation for the future collections "Old Petersburg. Stories from the former life of the capital" and "Old Moscow. Stories from the former life of the capital city", which earned the author the fame of a fine connoisseur of history. For us, Mikhail Pilyaev's writings are often the only source of facts that the author drew from private archives, which were later lost. But even more than a century later, these extremely charming narratives, peculiar guides to the bygone days of the two Russian capitals, deservedly enjoy the love of readers.
