Abstract

I was born in Moscow in 1863 at the turn of 2 eras. I still remember the remnants of serfdom, tallow candles, kerosene lamps, tarantases, dormitories, relay races, flintlock guns, small cannons that looked like toys. Before my eyes, railways with courier trains, steamships were emerging in Russia, electric searchlights, automobiles, airplanes, dreadnoughts, submarines, telephones wire, wireless, radio telegraphs, 12-inch guns were created. Thus, from a tallow candle to an electric searchlight, from a tarantass to an airplane, from a sailing boat to a submarine, from a gun to Berthe's cannon, and from serfdom to Bolshevism and communism "(Stanislavsky" My Life in Art ").
