Description: The book tries to render a picture of how in the Russian Plain the many peoples living there in the period between VII cent. and XV cent. appeared dressed in public and home. Many figures taken from the Russian Museums enrich the book. Of course this is not a complete view of the subject "apparel" in medieval Russia but helps the reader who wants to enlarge his historical panoramas on European Civilization. A good emphasy is made on the magic that embraces a dressing in accordance with festivals, life events, celebrations, religious and even army.
