Anatoly Bakhtiarov (1851-1916) was a well-known Russian publicist, writer, and local historian. In one of his most famous works, "The Belly of St. Petersburg," he extensively describes the operation of a huge economic mechanism that supplied St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th century with food, labor, and materials. The book depicts the life of pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg, hidden from view: urban slaughterhouses and water pumps, gluttonous rows and hay markets, permanent and temporary residents of the capital, from local laborers and day laborers to small entrepreneurs and street musicians. Why are hands slapped during trading? Where does 800,000 pounds of bull blood go? Who are the "chukhontsy"? Will the bookseller take a book with scribbles? Anatoly Bakhtiarov answers these and many other questions in detail and vividly. The book also includes stories about the Educational House, shelters, docks, fairs, and urban festivities. Every detail of the "internal kitchen" of St. Petersburg's belly is covered. The edition is supplemented with comments from artificial intelligence - fresh statistical data and historical references.
