Gilyarovsky in Moscow
Description:
K.G. Paustovsky said best about V.A. Gilyarovsky, speaking at the evening dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Alekseevich, December 8, 1953 in the Central House of Writers - "... this is one of those people who created an amazing image of cultural Moscow of the late XIX - early XX century, and it was difficult to imagine Moscow without Gilyarovskiy ..."
Gilyarovskiy was wholly connected with Moscow, one of the creators of this old and very interesting Moscow. It combined all the uniqueness of this city and was, as it were, the focus of all Moscow life of that time. In fact, Gilyarovsky was an encyclopedia of Moscow.”
