The Disappeared Moscow. Monuments of the Capital That Are No Longer There

What you have before you is not just a collection of photographs, but a true book of memory that will help you better understand what Moscow was like and what it has become.

The author of the book — a tour guide, lecturer, former host of the travel show “One-Story Russia” and host of the popular science show “GID” — Pyotr Posmakov skillfully combines facts and photographs, inviting the reader to reflect on the past and future of Moscow.

This book offers not only visual comparative photographs but also fascinating stories about how churches were built and demolished, densely populated streets turned into squares, and how large business centers emerged in place of historical developments. 

Each image here is not just a frozen moment — it is a window into history, allowing us to contemplate what these lost elements of culture mean for us and how they shaped the appearance of one of the most significant cities in the world.
