Early one April morning in 1898, a young man presented his twenty-year-old fiancée with a bouquet of stocks, which the enamored young lady delightedly wrote about in her diary. The young lady's name was Zinaida Titova, and she grew up in a wealthy Yekaterinburg merchant family. Throughout her youth, she kept a diary, of which only one notebook survives, covering two and a half years of her life (from 1897 to 1899).

The diary entries, in addition to describing personal events, preserve numerous details of the daily life of the merchant class in Moscow and Yekaterinburg at the end of the 19th century.

The diary was discovered, deciphered, and annotated by her descendants—Natalia Yuryevna Shevelina and her great-grandson, priest Vladislav Mishin.
