We'll once again take a stroll through old Moscow in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, seeing it from a new, unexpected perspective—through the prism of the activities of policemen, police officers, detectives, and police masters, employees of a vast, largely hidden system of Law and Order.
The police were responsible for virtually all aspects of urban life—from fighting crime to overseeing public amenities and charitable activities, setting up "warming rooms" for the poor and curbing the appetites of unruly cabbies. The figures of many Moscow police officers, such as the legendary Arkady Koshko, have become part of not only history but also urban folklore, giving rise to the popular genre of "historical detective fiction."
The book will also teach you about the sweeping reform of the law enforcement system that took place in the early 20th century. The revamped police force operated successfully until the Revolution, and its officers, even under the daily threat of death from terrorist attacks, remained faithful to their duty.
