The host of the show, Alexey Mitrofanov, presents compelling evidence that history is not only about political coups, political and economic intrigues, but also about what is in the pot of an ordinary citizen of the country. Or what hangs in his wardrobe. By looking there, one can accurately draw conclusions about how independent or influenced he was by others, how wealthy or in need he was, what he was afraid of, what he aspired to. The fashion of each historical period is a reflection of change.
