According to a common legend, when the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was blown up in 1931, Lazar Kaganovich, personally turning the switch, exclaimed: "Let's pull up the hem of Mother Russia!" According to another version, the first secretary of the Moscow City Party Committee watched the demolition of the greatest memorial of Russian military glory into a spyglass - as if parodying Kutuzov. Most likely, these are legends, "historical jokes." What really happened? Who destroyed architectural masterpieces erected in honor of the victories of Russian weapons? How and why were military memorials of the Petrovsky era, monuments of the Russian-Turkish and Napoleonic wars, the Russian-Japanese and World War I erased from the face of the earth? The new book in the series "Moscow We Lost" is a detailed guide to the destroyed military memorials of the Russian Empire; a sad story about how Russia was deprived of historical memory and military glory. The publication is illustrated with hundreds of rare old photographs and drawings.
