The brief and most vivid period of the early 20th century is the Silver Age of the resort of Kavkazskie Mineralnye Vody (KMV). The book is dedicated to the ordinary workers and unremarkable citizens who made their invaluable and, until recently, underestimated contribution to the development of the Kavkazskie Mineralnye Vody. This collection is one of those books that make the past not just history, but come alive, becoming a tangible reality. In the fascinating walks through the world of forgotten everyday life in KMV at the beginning of the 20th century, the reader gets acquainted with all aspects of life in resort towns. Vivid images of people, genuine characters, colorful language in authentic stories allow one to immerse oneself in the past, becoming a direct participant in the events. Newspaper chronicles from the archives of KMV newspapers, encyclopedic references from the early 20th century do not impose their opinion but allow the reader to give their assessment of the past. Each chapter of the collection is accompanied by archival photos, newspaper clippings, and colorful illustrations created by the artist Nadezhda Vasilieva specifically for this edition. The book is recommended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian culture, history, art, and those who appreciate subtle and ironic humor.
