The history of Moscow in the dates

"The dates flicker, flickers flickers - layout pillars of history." Some of them, rushing past, disappear away without a trace. Others, moving away, become as if larger, shine from afar, like beacons in the night. Just such related dates, orienters in the stormy sea, which we call the history of Moscow, are devoted to the essays that compiled this book.
Author - St. Petersburg historian and writer Konstantin Zhukov - tried to unbiasedly look at many well -studied events, relying primarily at the primary sources - annals, evidence of eyewitnesses, various documents, as well as the analysis of Moscow monuments of architecture and monumental art - From the Kremlin Cathedrals to the Stalinsky -High -Extensive, from the monument to Minin and Pozharsky to the Mukhinsky "worker and collective farmer". The book is distinguished by a calm, balanced and objective approach to historical material and a light, laid -back manner of presentation.
