Historical research of card playing in Russia, largely by noble society from the end of 17th to the 19th century, based on memoirs, diaries, letters, court decisions and other documents from Moscow and St. Petersburg archives. Chapter 4 is about A. Pushkin and cards, an aspect of Pushkin`s biography which has not been studied before. Playing cards held a significant place both in Pushkin`s personal life and in his works. There is also a chapter on card game rules and different forms of card-sharping.
