19.99 €
The focus of A. B. Kamensky's research based on a wide range of sources is the Russian society of the eighteenth century. The first section of the book presents works devoted to the way the society of that time was organized - what was its structure, internal ties, how mechanisms of social mobility worked, what were the everyday social practices. The second section examines how the historical memory of a number of key moments in the history of Russia in the eighteenth century was formed, what trace they left in literature and art, and how real events became historical myths.
