Time passes, Moscow has changed and continues to change. Wars, changes in power, rapid population growth - all this is reflected, like in a mirror, in the architectural and sculptural structures that have been built and demolished in the city....
Perhaps, in a few years, those modern buildings that will be discussed in the book will also no longer exist. The aim of this book is to show what Moscow was like in the past, and to compare it to how the capital looks today. Even just looking at the illustrations, you will notice striking changes. This book itself resembles a snapshot taken by a random passerby who decided to simply capture for memory that place that will surely look completely different just a few years later. Before you is an illustrated guide to the central streets of Moscow. Each chapter of the book contains a detailed description and historical background of the street, as well as the architectural monuments that have appeared along it over the long years of its existence. The book may prove useful not only for tourists but also for those who have lived their entire lives in the capital: many will be interested to learn something about the places where their childhood took place.
