Through the voices of visitors and residents, the turbulent growth of Moscow is recorded in this evocative and informative anthology: Peter the Great's bloody reprisals in 1698; Napoleon's ignominious retreat in 1812; the flowering of literary greatness in the 19th century; and the dazzling profusion of jewels in the Treasury of the Kremlin. Illustrations.
