Alexander Nechvolodov - From ruin to prosperity. Russian money. A gift book in a leather cover. "From ruin to prosperity. Russian Russian Money" is a collection of works by General Alexander Nechvolodov, a well-known historian and author of the fundamental work "The Legend of the Russian Land". Nechvolodov was not only a historian, but also well versed in the economics and finance of his time. The book presents two of his works on the topic of finance and gold: "From Ruin to prosperity" (1906) and "Russian Money" (1907). Both works are examples of a deep understanding of the secret mechanisms of the functioning of international finance and a simple, concise presentation of their essence. Nechvolodov's works explain the underlying causes of many political events in Europe of the XIX - XX centuries and pre-revolutionary Russia. They are of great interest to those who would like to understand what is happening in today's world of gold and money. Russian Russian Money (1926), a short article by a contemporary of Nechvolodov, a well-known public and political figure Nikolai Markov, is presented in the appendix to the book, which complements the work of the Russian general.
