Yes, it is especially valuable here that the book is printed in the printing house of the same "Secret Chancellery." So it is not recommended to doubt the complete anticramality of the book. Nevertheless, the book is magnificently written and replete with valuable historical, statistical information and links to documents. A deep review of the historical and economic life of cities and towns of the Vitebsk and Mogilev provinces is given. Issues of ethnic identity of the territory, life and culture (folk rites, customs, production activities and, even, folk meteorology) are considered, albeit in passing.
