A new book by Alexander Vaskin tells about the life of Soviet Bohemians - writers, artists, and artists. It contains hundreds of famous names who have become so not only because of their talent, but also extravagant behavior that does not fit into the generally accepted framework of lifestyle. What was the difference between Soviet Bohemia and pre-revolutionary Bohemia, how did it turn into a creative intelligentsia, what was more important for it - freedom of creativity or comfort, what was the relationship between official Soviet art and the underground? Where did creative people live and work in Moscow, how did they spend their time in Bohemian restaurants and cafes, in workshops and salons, at exhibitions and apartments, skits and parties? Where were Moscow's Montmartre and Montparnasse, which meant 'go to the corner', where lived 'Sofia Vlasyevna', 'sovereign', 'Gertrude', 'elegant artist of the RSFSR' and 'pharmacists'? You will find the answer to many interesting questions on these pages - a kind of continuation of the author's previous book 'Everyday life of the Soviet capital under Khrushchev and Brezhnev', which won great success with readers.
