Traveling from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Radishchev A.

The fate of the main brainchild of A. N. Radishchev - “Travel from St. Petersburg to Moscow” (1789) is truly amazing. The author imprinted the work unreliable from the point of view of censorship on his own printed machine, but on the eve of the arrest he burned almost the entire circulation. For his composition, Radishchev was sentenced to death, which was the highest grace, replaced by a link to Siberia. For a long time, the “journey” continued to live in the lists, in Russia a censorship ban was lifted from it only at the beginning of the twentieth century. But it seems that to this day this extremely difficult book is not completely deciphered.
