This book tells the stories of people who lived in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century: poets, bankers, femme fatales, hoaxers, politicians, and film producers. Some of the characters are well-known, others forgotten, but even the celebrities here don't seem ossified. Leo Tolstoy quarrels with his wife over money, and the first paparazzi secretly snaps his picture. Futurist poets tour the country, perform in small clubs, stage street performances, and happily generate tabloid headlines.

Andrey Aksyonov, a teacher, history popularizer, and host of the podcast "Twilight of an Empire," provides a captivating account of the people, events, and phenomena of that period in our country, when everything was changing before our eyes and no one could predict how it would all end a few years later.
