Bread is our Russian food - Bread and salt! - says a native Russian person, greeting everyone he finds at the table and eating. - Eat bread! - they certainly answer him in the sense: You are welcome, sit down with us and eat. It is about this bread and about this people who cultivate grain plants and eat mainly flour, bread, starchy food, I want to tell you and ask you to listen to my stories. As the proverb goes, one never refuses bread and salt. So I have a strong hope that you will not refuse to listen to the end of these stories about bread, or better yet, the story about a bag of bread. Every buzz is good for bread, says our people, and mine, too, is old, but in a new way. Why I started talking specifically about bread, I will now explain

"Kul of Bread", a book seemingly written about all sorts of details of agricultural life and labor of the second half of the 19th century, actually talks about the thousand-year culture of our people, depicting it is on a bread “cut”. The book by the Russian writer Sergei Vasilyevich Maksimov was first published in 1873.
