remarkable guide to Petersburg of the Pushkin era, telling not only about how the architectural appearance of the city changed, but also about how the system of its governance was built, how the daily life of its inhabitants (the highest aristocracy, officials, military, clergy, scholars, doctors, actors, merchants, craftsmen, peasants) took place, as well as about the most significant cultural and historical events of those years. Based on extensive literature (testimonies of memoirists, newspapers, magazines, archival documents from the first half of the 19th century, scientific sources), the authors of the book unfold before readers a wide panorama of the socio-political, literary, artistic, and economic life of Petersburg. First published in 1983, this book has served as a foundation for numerous studies of Russian everyday culture of the 19th century and still remains a valuable source of information and an engaging read for all who are interested in domestic history.
