What did Pushkin write when he learned about the flood in St. Petersburg? What orders did Alexander I give during the disaster? How did eyewitnesses remember the flood of 1824? Where did Griboyedov wait out the elements? Yegor Yakovlev spoke about all this and much more at the Digital History festival held in Tver. The festival is organized with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. Digital History tours: https://vk.com/egortrip.
