The book "Moscow in the history of technology". Falkovsky N.I., Moskovsky Rabochy Publishing House, Moscow, 1950.

In excellent condition after professional restoration.

N. I. Falkovsky's research demonstrates the fact that Moscow in the past had developed, independently created machinery and a diverse, distinctive industry. Engineering and construction art stood at a great height in Moscow.

Thousands of wonderful craftsmen, outstanding innovators, engineers, and scientists lived in our capital. Many of their buildings have survived to the present day. Their discoveries and inventions were often ahead of what was available abroad at that time. N. I. Falkovsky establishes with exceptional persuasiveness the priority of the Russian people in urban planning, military affairs, industry, and science. The book by Prof. Falkovsky N. I. shows that Moscow was created by the Russian people themselves during the 800 years of its existence, putting extraordinary love and diligence into this matter.

"This book will be of great benefit to all those who study and love the history of our Motherland. In it, the author clearly shows how to conduct scientific work on the history of technology, how carefully archival materials and technical monuments of antiquity should be studied in order to draw impeccable conclusions about a particular historical fact" — Academician B. N. Yuryev

The publishing house itself, Moskovsky Rabochy, deserves special attention.
The publishing house was founded in 1922 as a party-cooperative publishing house. Non-party workers, Red Army soldiers, and peasants could be members of the cooperative; local organizations of the Russian Communist Party (b) were also shareholders of the publishing house — regional and provincial committees. For a long time, the publishing house was funded directly by Vladimir Lenin.
