How Moscow was built. Drozdov D.P.

“Moscow was not immediately built” - says the Russian proverb. When Yuri Dolgoruky said: “Come to me, brother, in Moskov” and the official history of the city began, Moscow occupied only a third of the modern Kremlin. The beneficial location on the steep coastal mountain during the merger of the two rivers predetermined its rapid growth. For almost nine centuries of its history, Moscow has traveled from a small princely village to the largest metropolis in Europe.

The book “How Moskva was built” consists of twenty -five chapters, characterizing important periods of the formation and development of the city - from the first modest wooden Fortresses to the monumental heights of the second half of the 20th century.

Augered by the large -scale illustrations of Nikita Andreev, depicting the structure of the described objects, and a colorful reversal valve, this book is a unique guide, like a time machine sending readers along the streets of Moscow of different eras. << /p>
