Путеществие из Петербурга в Москву

Alexander Radishchev - a Russian revolutionary writer, in the words of Catherine II, "a rebel worse than Pugachev", - a deep and courageous writer. For the book "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow" Radishchev was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress. The court sentenced him to death, which the empress replaced with deprivation of ranks and nobility and exile in a Siberian prison. This book is an enlightening treatise of the rarest power, written in the form of travel essays, where both the traveler's accurate observations and inspired lyrical digressions captivate the reader to empathy and contemplation: what is Russia, what is good for her and what is evil.
