Киев и киевляне. Я вызову любое из столетий... Книга вторая

If you are a resident of Kiev and know modern Kyiv well, but feel an urgent need to see a city that you missed; if you are a guest eager to get to know our beautiful city better; if you want the connection of times to be uninterrupted, this is the book for you. The book-album “Kyiv and the people of Kiev. I will challenge any of the centuries...” does not fit the definition of ordinary popular science and local history publications. It will differ from them, like a canvas full of life by a great master from soullessly sleek color photographs. The book by Alexander Anisimov, a professional historian, journalist and Kiev specialist, is not just sketches in a “retro” style, it tells about the great City, a City in which even on old stones a trace of eternity appears. Miraculously, through the pages telling about seemingly tertiary trifles of distant times, funny but insignificant features of “days gone by”, the majestic features of Slavic Jerusalem appear, a beautiful city that united peoples and civilizations, which became a stronghold of Orthodox spirituality in eastern Europe.
