Moscow is a city that knows how to keep secrets, and the impenetrable facades of its embassy mansions often conceal incredible stories: the rise and fall of dynasties, the fates of great and famous heroes of the past, astonishing architectural experiments, and sensational finds of restorers. Behind the tightly drawn curtains of the luxurious homes of wealthy citizens and cultural heritage sites, one era has replaced another, and in the galleries of their halls, the history of diplomacy has been shaped.
Professional historian, journalist for the Moscow 24 channel, Moscow expert, and accredited guide Vitaly Kalashnikov, together with the Main Directorate of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have compiled biographies of 16 unique buildings housing foreign diplomatic missions in a new book.
