Moskva i moskvichi - Giliarovskii Vladimir Alekseevich

Gilyarovsky was undoubtedly one of the brightest figures in Moscow in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From it Repin drew one of the Cossacks, writing a letter to the Turkish sultan. He was not only a Moscow legend, but also a chronicler of Moscow. The most famous text of Gilyarovsky, "Uncle Gilya," can be considered his story of everyday life "Moscow and Muscovites", which is undoubtedly the most colorful story of all, told about Moscow.
