More info

This volume contains geographical, historical, ethnographic and economic information about the Ural region, unique in terms of volume and visibility. "Picturesque Russia - Our Fatherland in its land, historical, tribal, economic and everyday meaning" edited by P.P. Semenov, vice-chairman of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, senator, later a member of the State Council, was ahead of its time. And to this day (and more than 120 years have passed since the publication of the first book of "Picturesque Russia") there is no more complete and voluminous work devoted to the description of the Russian Empire and the peoples inhabiting it. The best scientific and literary forces were invited to participate in this edition, and original essays specially written for this edition appeared on the pages of "Picturesque Russia". Along with the major "stars" of Russian literature, many specialists appeared among the closest collaborators of "Picturesque Russia", who did not glorify their names in literature, but had already managed to win a place of honor in the scientific world. Each more or less prominent scientist of that time, engaged in the study of our fatherland, made his contribution to "Picturesque Russia". These materials consist of specially written articles that have not been published anywhere before. Of course, many of the information presented in Picturesque Russia is outdated, and the face of the country has changed a lot; the more valuable this edition became, which contains a lot of interesting and unique material. In May 1900, during a fire in book warehouses, almost the entire stock of already finished volumes and sheets burned down. The printing of the newly burned volumes turned out to be impossible both because of the high cost of the publication and because of the conditions with the majority of employees who provided their work for only one publication. Thus, "Picturesque Russia" - the fruit of the efforts and activities of many thinkers over the course of three decades - has become a bibliographic rarity.
