The topic of cemeteries and burials was of interest to many. Suffice it to recall Boris Akunin and his “Cemetery Stories”. True, the story in them is about the cemeteries of London, Paris and even Yokohama. What about our famous necropolises? Igor Obolensky has been leading tours of Moscow cemeteries for a long time. His author's walks through the necropolis are more than just a tour, it is a kind of lecture on the history of Russia. Every name is a Legend. This book contains the most interesting and most unusual. How did the stone from Gogol's grave end up on Bulgakov's grave? How was Nadezhda Alliluyeva buried? What did his daughter leave on Mayakovsky’s grave? How was the funeral of S. Prokofiev, which took place on the same day as Stalin’s funeral? What do they bring to Iya Savvina’s grave? Where can you see a Scythian woman whose age is more than a thousand years old?
