The new book by Olga Yeliseyeva, a famous writer and historian, is dedicated to the daily life of the Russian gentry at the Golden Age of Catherine’s ruling. Speaking about lives of magnates and old-time lords, those of the Empress and foreigners, the author tries to show the way our ancestors felt, loved and hated in that old but attractive time. The best way to attain the goal is to provide the readers with a possibility to get a touch of the original documents of the age. That is why a considerable part of the book comprises texts created two centuries ago: memoirs, correspondence, political pamphlets, reports, etc.
