Before you is an extensive study of the history of Soviet catering and service culture using the example of trade pavilions, restaurants, cafes, and canteens of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition and the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy of the USSR. By reading this book, you will embark on a fascinating architectural and gastronomic journey into the past, where you will discover the assortment and recipes of dishes that guests of the Exhibition could try, as well as the work of chefs and waiters, considered exemplary of Soviet service. The author pays special attention to an integral part of the Exhibition's image - its architecture, the features of each pavilion or kiosk where restaurants, cafes, shops, or snack bars were located. Since 1939, the catering complex of the Exhibition has included over 40 buildings, most of which are now recognized as architectural monuments and protected by the state. The unique atmosphere of this publication is enhanced by eyewitness accounts of visits to the Exhibition, as well as excerpts from printed publications of that time. The text is accompanied by a large number of illustrations, including archival photographs and drawings. Many of these materials are being published for the first time.
