Russian history is often portrayed either as a series of conquests and victories or as an endless chronicle of violence and oppression. But there is another perspective. The heroes of this book are holy fools and saints, pilgrims and icon painters, as well as ordinary people who asserted freedom and mercy despite cruelty and indifference. Each chapter connects fate and a city: Metropolitan Philip argues with the tsar, Fevronia outmaneuvers the Murom boyars, Stefan of Perm teaches tolerance for others, and Simon Ushakov seeks a new language of iconography.

"People and Cities" by writer, poet, and journalist Ivan Davydov is a guide to forgotten pre-Petrine Rus', an invitation to the rich world of Old Russian literature, and a reflection on how to remain human in inhuman times.
