Everyday Life in Moscow in the Wild Nineties

The new book by Alexander Vaskin immerses us in the era commonly referred to as the "turbulent nineties." The everyday life of Muscovites (both ordinary and well-known, poor and rich), what they ate and drank, how and where they dressed, their weekdays and holidays, cultural leisure - all this and much more is described by Alexander Vaskin with his characteristic objectivity and subtle sense of humor. The chapter titles speak for themselves: "When the Shelves Were Empty," "Just Add Food," "Will We Live Until Monday?" "The Decade of Raspberry Jackets," "When I Served as a Shuttle Trader in the Market." The book is based on the study of a large number of diaries and memoirs and is also equipped with a "Glossary of the Turbulent Nineties" and a "Chronology of Moscow Life in the 1990s." This is the fifth book in the series "Everyday Life of Humanity" written by the author.
