If you live in St. Petersburg, you can easily calculate how much finance you spend on a weekly basis in large grocery stores like Lenta or Okay. Good food, of course, is necessary, but if you think that from year to year we eat up substantial money, then it will not be superfluous to spend a certain amount on replenishing or creating our personal (or family) treasury of the mind - a home library. And the book salon provides all the possibilities for this.
It's no secret that in modern times, books are gradually being replaced by electronic editions, which have become even more popular with the arrival of tablets in almost every home. A large number of books can be downloaded for free. However, there is always a book that will warm the soul, it will be pleasant to pick it up and read it yourself, or give it to a loved one. It can be a richly illustrated children's story for your children, an album of a Slavic artist, or a rare second-hand book, released in a limited edition.
This year, the space of the Book Salon will expand to a whole block in the very center of the city. More than 200 events of the Book Salon will be held on Malaya Sadovaya, Italyanskaya, Karavannaya, Klenovaya streets, Manezhnaya square. Even if you are not interested in the events and books listed below, you can successfully purchase exactly those books and attend exactly those events that are closer to you in spirit.
We are sure that many of our readers are not particularly interested in spending time in the "temples of commerce" - huge modern shopping centers, trips to which have become a must-have weekend getaway for a resident of a big city.
Likewise, for many it is no longer pleasant to rest in a modern cinema, since modern cinema can be safely called cinema fast food.
In contrast to these dubious pleasures, you can spend time usefully - go to a large book fair, which includes master classes, meetings with writers, round tables, and lectures.
So, we will give brief recommendations especially for our readers.
We highly recommend visiting the exhibition of Alexander Uglanov and Vsevolod Ivanov "Primordial Rus". The exhibition will feature over 30 paintings by artists. The work of two Slavic artists is united by a common idea, which is addressed to the distant past of our ancestors and ancestors.

Interesting stands:
№ 250 Fund "Svarog"
This is the main stand where you can buy almost any book on Slavic topics. Quite a lot of events (master classes in pottery, making a traditional Slavic belt, etc. - the full list is here) will be organized within the framework of this stand.
Booth No. 152
At this stand you will be able to purchase Books by Ivan Vladimirovich Drozdov, as well as books by Nikolai Viktorovich Levashov.
People interested in geopolitics may be interested in the presentation of the new book by Nikolay Starikov "Ukraine - chaos and the revolution is the weapon of the dollar", the first 500 copies. this book will be presented at the Book Salon.
See all events in the official program of the salon.
For those of our readers who do not have the opportunity to attend such events, we recommend buying books in their own collection more often, since now it is not difficult to do this via the Internet.
For example, even prohibited books, the titles of which we have no right to give according to the law, are present in online stores.
Some places where you can get useful books online:
Online store "Concept"
Online store "Books that encourage development"
There is an expression: "People stop thinking when they stop reading." And this is certainly true. Without reading, a person does not expand his stock of knowledge and does not load the brain as much as it should be. This is due to the fact that the book teaches "the culture of the mind", forces you to think deeper, trains attention, fills the memory and disciplines the mind.

Historians have NOT READ this book. TARTARIA - RUSSIA - ORDA - Scythia - in the book of Sigismund Herberstein
The history of the Russian state of the 15th-16th centuries known to us has a huge number of white spots due to the lack of written sources - the fault was not only frequent city fires, but also periods of political turmoil, during which real facts on paper were distorted to please the new rulers
Why is it necessary to give birth and raise more children?
For a long time, almost all media have been promoting the installation that it is necessary to strive for a "high standard of living" and "not to breed poverty." That it is better to have one child, but give him everything and provide a "high standard of living" than to "breed poverty"
Memories of foreigners about their visit to Russia at different times
It is widely believed that the common people in Russia have always lived hard, constantly starving, and endured all kinds of oppression from the boyars and landowners. However, was it really so? Of course, for objective reasons, we now have almost no statistical data on pre-revolutionary Russia, such as GDP per capita, the cost of the consumer basket, the cost of living, etc
