The dictionary contains a description of the Old Moscow language and life (the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the 20s of the 20th century). The focus is on the last thirty years of the 19th century. The dictionary describes the bygone realities of Old Moscow life, gives an interpretation and explanation of outdated and out-of-use phenomena, objects and words. The dictionary was compiled with the involvement of both well-known sources (the works of A. Chekhov, A. Ostrovsky, P. Boborykin, I. Shmelev, V. Gilyarovsky) and literature unknown and sometimes inaccessible to the general reader. The dictionary significantly expands our ideas about the daily life of old Moscow. In this edition, in comparison with the first, the necessary corrections, clarifications and additions have been made. The book is designed primarily for a wide reader interested in the history of Russia and, in particular, Moscow, but it will also be useful to specialists - philologists, including teachers of the Russian language and literature, historians, journalists, writers, translators.
