Material culture of the Russian feudal city. Rabinovich M.

The book of Mikhail Rabinovich is devoted to the ethnography of the Russian city. The material that is formed by its basis covers almost a thousand years of Russian history, until the middle of the XIX century, when the relapses of feudalism in the life of the Russian province were still noticeable. The author used archeology data, legislative acts, census and consumables, private documents, images, etc. - in fact, all sources that can tell about which Russian houses built in cities, how they equipped the courtyards, what they dressed, what they dressed, what they dressed, what they dressed, what they dressed, what they dressed, what they dressed, what And what dishes ate and how the early city life was different from the village life. We see the life of the townspeople of different social strata in development: as a white hut is replaced by a curtain, with a pipe, and the interiors are transformed, how clothes and skin is replaced by a bast in the manufacture of shoes, how the diet changes, new foods appear and the arsenal of kitchen utensils is expanding. < /p>
