The leather-bound book "Great Russia. Excellent bravery" in the box
Dmitry Klochkov's book is dedicated to a well-known but little-studied elite unit of the Russian Guard, His Imperial Majesty's Own convoy. Many years have passed, and none of the guards are alive anymore, but we are returning to the glorious traditions of the Imperial Guard more and more often. Created for political purposes, this military unit has left a significant mark not only in the court life of St. Petersburg, but also in the military history of Russia.
A significant part of the study is devoted to the description of uniforms, weapons and regalia of the convoy. These attributes were present for each Guards regiment, supporting its corporate identity. Most of the materials contained in the book were not used in the open press. The book contains photographs of authentic items of uniforms, weapons, awards, reproductions of paintings and drawings, copies of orders, and author's reconstructions.

The leather-bound book "Russian Truth, rules, and teachings" by V. Monomakh.
The leather-bound book "Russian Truth, rules, and teachings" by V. Monomakh.
The book "Russian Truth. Regulation. The Teachings" is a publication in which the past takes on flesh and voice. The binding is made of deep black genuine leather, decorated with voluminous embossing and gold elements, like a shield, carefully protects the knowledge left to descendants by Grand Duke Vladimir Monomakh. On the cover is his face in the tradition of an ancient miniature, encased in a floral crown, referring to the chronicle style and the idea of enlightened government. Every detail of the publication, from the decorative inserts to the coat of arms of the Russian Federation, underlines its importance as not just a book, but a historical relic, worthy of a place in the collection of an intellectual and a connoisseur of the Great Russian tradition.
Formally, Vladimir Monomakh's reign lasted only 12 years, but his influence spread over decades, becoming decisive in the formation of a unified state. Being a person involved in and an arbitrator of political processes long before ruling in Kiev, Monomakh not only inherited power, but also played the role of its core — under his father, Vsevolod Yaroslavich, and uncle, Svyatopolk. With his death, the era did not end — it was continued by his son Mstislav the Great, completing a half-century cycle that went down in history as the Golden Age of ancient Russian statehood.
Never before, even under Yaroslav the Wise or Vladimir Svyatoslavich, the baptist of Russia, had the Russian land known such a degree of consolidation and power. Vladimir Monomakh combined military prowess, political wisdom and moral strength, becoming a symbol of sovereign service. However, history is inexorable: the peak always anticipates the decline. After him, Russia entered an era of fragmentation, losing its former greatness. But the memory of the sovereign, who inspired the princes and the people to community and unity, has not faded.
His word, contained in "Teaching children," has not sunk into oblivion. It formed the basis for the education of future generations — not as an abstract edifying text, but as a living school of courage, reason and loyalty to duty. His legal statutes became the basis of law and order, and his personal example became the standard of princely behavior. This book does not just reproduce historical texts, but puts them into an artistic form that allows us to perceive the ancient truth through the prism of a modern understanding of honor and service.
The publication is intended for those who seek not to possess things, but to gain access to meaning. It is a gift expressing respect for intelligence, fine taste and a desire for deep understanding of native history. The book will become a worthy companion in the office of a thinking person, next to globes, old maps and objects that carry the beat of the ages.

The leather-bound book "Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five"
The leather-bound book "Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five"
Many books have been written about the legendary "five" Soviet intelligence officers who were recruited during their studies at Cambridge University. In our country they are considered heroes, in Britain they are considered traitors of their generation.
This book is unique in that it has been prepared on the basis of archival materials of the SVR of Russia. For the first time, the reader will see dozens of newly declassified original documents submitted by Kim Philby and his friends to the Center. On the eve and during the Second World War, members of the group transmitted to Moscow a huge amount of classified information that saved the lives of dozens, and maybe hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers and brought Victory closer. It is safe to say that in the middle of the twentieth century there was no such important event on which valuable information would not be received from the members of the "five". These are Hitler's plans to attack the USSR, the battle of Moscow, the Kursk Bulge, and the attempts of Hitler's leaders to conduct separate negotiations behind our country's back, and the plans of militaristic Japan.…
At different times, each of the Cambridge men found themselves at the forefront of events, but from the point of view of intelligence professionals, Kim Philby has always remained its organizational core, invisible guardian angel, and reliable support.

The book "Expedition Br. Kuznetsovs to the Polar Urals", St. Petersburg, 1911
The book "Expedition Br. Kuznetsovs to the Polar Urals", St. Petersburg, 1911
Notes of the Imperial Academy of Sciences on the Physics and Mathematics Department. Volume XXVIII. No. 1. Scientific results of the Kuznetsov brothers expedition to the Polar Urals in 1909, under the command of O.O. Backlund.
On September 22, 1909, the head of the expedition, Oleg Backlund, sent a telegram from the village of Samarovsky, present-day Khanty-Mansiysk, addressed to Academician Chernyshev: "The Kara expedition, having successfully completed the route, completed the work on September 16" (Minutes of the meetings of the FMO, 1909).
On this day, the members of the expedition of the Kuznetsov brothers (the second name of the "Kara expedition") boarded a steamer going up the Ob River, and on October 2 returned to Tyumen without any special incidents.
The four and a half months that passed between May 10 and October 2 were filled with intensive research work and constant movement from place to place - on steamboats, boats, deer, sleds. Many hundreds of miles have been covered. Even the most concise and dry retelling of the route completed during these summer months speaks eloquently about the scale of the research carried out. The text of the book is accompanied by a large number of drawings, tables and maps.
The North Ural expedition of the Academy of Sciences and the Russian Geographical Society in 1909 made a valuable contribution to the study of the polar tip of the Ural Mountains. The name Polar Urals has finally been fixed in science. They began to call the northernmost part of the Ural Mountains - north of 66 ° C.

The book "Description of nautical instruments". Sakellari N.A., Leningrad, Department of the Red Army Naval Forces, 1928
The book is a manual on the use of nautical instruments. The author explains the relevance of his work by the lack of a systematic description of nautical instruments in Russian, which made it very difficult both to study these instruments in maritime educational institutions and their practical use on fleet vessels. The author also points out the absence of descriptions of some devices in old marine journals.
In the first part of the manual, the devices necessary for the navigation course are considered, descriptions of which are not available in textbooks accepted at the VMU. Some details beyond the VMU course are introduced in order to meet the needs of the S.K.K.S. Navigator Class.

The book "Chemical instruction to write recipes". Trommsdorf I. Bartholomew, Moscow, 1811
Johann Bartholomew Trommsdorf is a German chemist and pharmacist, founder and head of the Chemical Pharmaceutical Institute and the first pharmaceutical journal in Germany. The scientist made an invaluable contribution to the development of pharmaceuticals. His journal Pharmaceuticals (1794-1834) held a leading position for several decades in a row, until Justus von Liebig began publishing his Annalen der Chemie in 1832.
At the end of the XVIII century, he founded a boarding school, which focused on the study of chemistry and physics. The educational institution existed until 1828. During this time, more than three hundred students have been educated within its walls. The school played an important role in training the founding generation of the German pharmaceutical industry.
Trommsdorf's numerous texts were extremely popular, most of them went through many editions in Germany and abroad. In 1811, the fourth edition underwent many corrections. The book "Chemical instructions for writing recipes" was released with the approval of the Censorship Committee established for the District of the Imperial Moscow University, translated by Ivan Popov, later a veteran of 1812 and a district doctor of Mologi, Yaroslavl province, while studying at the Medical and Surgical Academy.
The book has an all-leather binding of the epoch with the pressed seal of the Imperial Medical Academy on the front cover.

Leather-bound book "Masterpieces of Russian Icon painting"
Leather-bound book "Masterpieces of Russian Icon painting"
The book includes all the most famous and revered icons (more than 800) — for example, "Trinity" and "Saved" by A. Rublev, "Saved Not Made with Hands" by F. Ushakov; icons of the Mother of God (Vladimir, Tikhvin, Smolenskaya, Don, Kazan, Iverskaya); icons dedicated to Christian holidays; icons of revered saints.
The icon carries important information that is not always clear to an untrained person from the 21st century. It is precisely this understanding that our book should help. However, you should also buy it just to see Russian icons in all their beauty and diversity. The uniqueness of the book is also in the large collection of icons.
The art of icon painting is very special. It obeys its own laws and requires special treatment from both the artist and the viewer.
We say "art" and we call icons works of art. In fact, it's much more than that. For a believer, an icon is an object of worship, it is sacred. Through her, he finds a spiritual connection with God and His saints.
Of course, this does not deprive the icon of artistic significance. On the contrary, the iconographer, imbued with the lofty meaning of what he creates, puts all the power of his talent and soul into his work. Bending over the board, he himself becomes, so to speak, an intermediary between Earth and Heaven, through which the Divine is embodied in the earthly.
Therefore, even a person who is far from religion cannot help but feel awe when looking at an icon. Any iconographic image carries a high energy of the spirit.
And if the icon was painted by a genius… The history of Russian icon painting knows many famous names, among which are the best of the best: Theophanes the Greek, Andrei Rublev, Dionysius. Their works have long been indisputably recognized as world masterpieces. But how many beautiful icons were created by craftsmen whose names have not reached us! And how many wonderful images perished in the fire and storms of Russian history… Very few icons have survived from the distant times before the Mongol-Tatar invasions. Each of them is a priceless treasure.
However, the tradition of Russian icon painting has never been interrupted. It continues even now. Icons created by modern craftsmen follow the same principles of image — the canon — as the works of their distant predecessors. The basic rules of the iconographic canon were developed back in the Byzantine Empire. From there they were brought to Russia along with the Christian faith. And on our land they were continued and developed, gaining new depth and meaning in the soul of the Russian people.
Russian icon painting is a whole world, infinitely diverse and at the same time strictly organized. You can simply admire the beautiful works: the harmony of the composition, the purity of the colors, the melodiousness of the lines. Or you can try to understand the meaning of the images, learn about the events and people that the iconographic images tell about. Then, as you will see, the admiration for beauty, having become meaningful, will become stronger and deeper.
Icon painting is not just an art. For a believer, the icon is sacred. Through her, he finds a spiritual connection with God and the saints. Icon painters feel this connection with particular acuteness. She elevates and reinforces their talent. That's probably why their works are so beautiful. It is possible to truly understand the phenomenon of icon painting, to penetrate into its fascinating depth, only by studying its images and plots. To help you with this, our book has been written.
