"Moscow the Newcomer" is not just a story about the residents of the First Throne, but a fascinating study of how the fusion of nationalities, religions and characters formed the unique image of the city by the end of the 19th century. Moscow is a city where people came in search of a better life, and it was these "newcomers" who created its future, becoming part of the city's elite, overcoming incredible obstacles or, on the contrary, finding themselves on the sidelines.
What was the path of newcomers from the train station platforms to the top of business and social society? Who ended up in flophouses, and who - in the best restaurants of Moscow? How did the economic and social life of the city develop during this turbulent period? The book, filled with rare photographs, caricatures and documents of the era, allows you to look into the past and feel the atmosphere of old Moscow with its incredible destinies, ups, scams and loud falls.
If you are interested in how Moscow became the metropolis we know today, this book will be your guide to the past, full of amazing stories and unexpected discoveries.
