The Tretyakov Gallery for Russia is more than just a collection of paintings. This is the soul of the people and the understanding of its history. "A big name and business will remain from you," Vladimir Stasov told Pavel Tretyakov. This book reveals the fate of Tretyakov and his great brainchild, the main gallery of all Russia, which bears the name of its creator – the largest patron in the history of Russian art.
