Journalist and prose writer Vladimir Petrovich Burnashev (1810-1888) enjoyed wide readership popularity in the early 1870s. In his memoirs he painted vivid pictures of everyday, military and literary life in the second quarter of the XIX century. His memoirs cover a wide range of people - famous statesmen and military figures (M. M. Speransky, E. F. Kankrin, A. P. Ermolov, V. G. Bibikov, S. M. Kamensky, etc.), writers (A. S. Pushkin, M. Y. Lermontov, N. I. Grech, F. V. Bulgarin, O. I. Senkovsky, A. S. Griboyedov, etc.), as well as little-known writers and journalists. Memoirs are especially interesting because their author carefully recorded rumors, gossip and anecdotes circulating in Russian society in the second half of the XIX century. Reputations of literary men of the time, everyday life, balls, entertainment, literary salons, cooking, clothing - all this in the memoirs Burnashev conveyed vividly and authentically. The book also includes a previously unpublished article about Burnashev by the outstanding literary scholar Y. G. Oxman.
