An old house on a quiet Moscow side street, six flights up and a door on the left - and we are at the Muromtsevs'. We entered the old Moscow apartment on an October evening in 1902 and stayed there for a hundred years. We met several generations of the Muromtsevs, their neighbors and friends, witnessed the meetings and partings, grief and happiness, losses and hopes that many families in Russia have experienced.
The story of the simple inhabitants of an old Moscow apartment reflects the history of our country in the 20th century. It is told to us not only by the heroes themselves, but also by their things: furniture and clothes, dishes and books, games and household items. After all, objects bear the imprint of time, preserve the memory and traces of the era in which they were created and served. They are witnesses to the history that is not written about in textbooks, but which is very important for each of us, the history of our families, our friends, the history of ourselves.
