Uzvar is a Slavic drink obtained by boiling or boiling water with herbal, fruit or wine additives. The name comes from the word “zavarivat” (brew), as dried fruits only bring to a boil.

Узвар- славянский напиток, получаемый с помощью доведения до кипения или кипячения воды с травяными, плодово-ягодными или винными добавками. Название происходит от слова «заваривать», так как сухофрукты только доводят до кипения.

Illustrated cards for the provinces of the Russian Empire (published in St. Petersburg 1856).  Each card presents an overview of the province’s history, geography, culture and economics.  The front depicts distinguishing features such as rivers, mountains, and major cities and industries.  The back shows a map of the province, the provincial seal, information about the population, and a picture of the local dress of the inhabitants.

The cards shown here are of the guberniyas (governorates) of Olonets, Novgorod, Pskov, Saint Petersburg and Estonia.
