How had they had fun in the Russian capitals. Uvarova Elizaveta Dmitrievna

The book tells about the rapid development at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries of “light genres” (verse, humorous story, chansonnettka, gypsy romance, etc.), that is, the formation of Russian pre-revolutionary pop. Separate chapters are first devoted to the Changans, the theaters "Fars", which were not previously accepted to write. Outstanding artists who left a mark in domestic culture, such as E.M. Granovskaya, cruciferous Sergey Sokolsky, Stanislav Sarmatov, singers A.D. Davydov, Anastasia Vyaltseva, Natalia Tamara, Nadezhda Palevitskaya, Yuri Morfessi and many others, were briefly described.
