Abstract

This article analyzes the leisure preferences of the Dmitrov merchant I. A. Tolchenov on the basis of his autobiographical text “Journal or note of the life and adventures” of I. A. Tolchenov. As a result of the study, it was revealed how different life practices changed or still prevail during the course of the Dmitrov merchant, based on his family, financial and social status, as well as changes and continuity of leisure practices at different age levels of I. A. Tolchenov. It was demonstrated that the representatives of the wealthy merchants of the second half of the 18th century had no less opportunities for leisure than the nobles.
