Moscow. A great city that is changing literally before your eyes. If you compare the capital of the 90s with the capital of today, you get heaven and earth.
And what was Moscow like 100, 200 years ago? What did the citizens ate and drank? How much did the products cost? How did merchants, students and ordinary workers spend their leisure time... Did you know that in Moscow of the XIX century there were areas of lust and debauchery like the famous European "red lights"? On Grachevka Street and Sretensky Boulevard, in Golovin, Sobolev and Pilnikov lanes, brothels - so-called "bardaks" - lured men with carnal pleasures. Girls with low social responsibility looked for clients on Petrovsky and Rozhdestvensky boulevards. But let's turn to other alleys and find out that here the famous confectioner Siu released a new cookie "Jubilee" in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov House - yes, yes, the same one that is still on our shelves. And not far away, in the restaurant "Hermitage", worked Moscow chef Lucien Olivier, whose famous salad needs no introduction... How many wonderful discoveries are prepared for us by the old Moscow streets! Plunge into this amazing excursion, led by a wonderful and unique storyteller Alexander Bushkov.
