The Empire's New Clothes
Tsar Peter's dress decree, part of his drive to make Russia more like Western Europe, had a profound impact on the history of Imperial Russia. This book explores the impact of Westernization on Russia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and presents photographs of ordinary Russians in their finery.
