Traveling from St. Petersburg to Moscow. Radishchev A.N.

“Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow” is customary to conditionally call the story, but this is not so - in reality it is a kind of journalistic variation on the topic of a “sentimental trip” of a “sentimental trip” at the end of the 18th century - travel notes concentrated not so much on real impressions Traveler, how much on his thoughts and feelings about what he saw. And what I happened to see Radishchev in cities, villages and at postal stations where the writer stopped along the way from St. Petersburg to Moscow turned his book into angry and tragic removal of Russian serfdom in all its ugliness and cruelty.
