About the book: year / The book presented to the attention of readers will be useful to everyone who is even slightly interested in historical and cultural heritage one of the largest capitals of the five continents. For seven decades of the 20th century, Moscow was essentially the capital of the world, directly or indirectly influencing all social movements on the globe. And despite the current decline in the prestige of the Russian state, it still retains its extraordinary significance. A.A. Zinoviev, one of the greatest modern philosophers, said: “For me, only one place in the world is a capital: this is Moscow. Everything else for me is province. Moscow is the capital of more than just a state. It is the capital of history. And I did a great stupidity by leaving it: I dropped out of history.” This book makes an attempt to show Moscow as a city that gave a lot to the country for the first time. At the same time, the authors sought to draw the attention of readers to lesser-known facts of life in the capital. The publishing layout of the book was saved in PDF A4 format.
