Yes I meant Fyodor Petrovitch Koshkarev. Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for sharing some Russian history.

It kind of reminded me of Italy's Alberobello history. The trulli style architecture are cone shaped domes built with stacks of flat limestone, no mortar. They were originally introduced and built by Asia Minor tribes to cover the bodies of the dead. In Crete these cone shaped crypts were built for those who died at war. Later the dome shaped structures evolved into dwellings built at virtually no expense. Around tax time, these dwellings could be dismantled and later put back together.
