The famous local historian, the chairman of the Commission "Old Moscow", the author of many books about the capital of Russia Vladimir Bronislavovich Muravyov in his new book guides readers through familiar and at the same time unfamiliar streets, alleys and squares, the names of which have repeatedly changed the turbulent past century. How and why were they given their original names, and what were the reasons for the renaming? Having a great command of a huge historical and factual material, he recreates the history and former life of the Mother See through its toponyms. Every pre-revolutionary Moscow toponym, the author claims, must contain an indication of some noticeable detail, the peculiarity of the area, its originality. Written in a fascinating, knowledgeable way, this book will be an invaluable gift for both Muscovites and guests of the capital.
