A unique collection lies at the heart of this project: comparative views of the Moscow cityscape from the turn of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Dynasty Foundation’s Moscow Time project aims to revive Moscow’s traditions and familiarize the general public with the way the city looked then and the way it looks now.
From 2 to 72: An Illustrated Book (2007), is an unusual variation on the memoir genre—a photo album. Unique photos from Dmitry Zimin’s personal archive are interwoven with his biography. The book paints a portrait of the age through the story of Zimin and his family. Sketches of twentieth-century Russia’s great scientists and industrialists and memories of everyday life make this book a must for every reader.
