Paris in the Middle Ages was not at all a cozy and brilliant city. The streets were cramped, and often turned into sewers, as there was no sewerage system in the Middle Ages. Pets easily roamed the streets, which could often provoke accidents. Residents could ride horses or mules around the city, as carriages could not pass in narrow quarters.

And yet, Paris developed rapidly. Thanks to the Sorbonne, the city is turning into a European center of knowledge. In order for students to live within the city, a campus arises, called the Latin Quarter, in honor of the language in which education was conducted within the walls of the Alma Mater.

The city was overgrown with the rich abbeys of Saint-Germain and Saint-Genevieve on the left bank of the Seine, and the right bank was chosen by the monastic order of the Templars by building the Temple fortress, and the abbey of Saint-Martin de Champs was also located there.
During these times, the first dissatisfaction with the royal power arises. In 1356, the British managed to win the battle of Poitiers, capturing the French king John II. The elder of the Parisian merchants Etienne Marcel, taking advantage of the weakened royal influence, organizes a rebellion.

A year later, the uprising was brutally suppressed. Marseille is killed and the future King Charles V restores royal authority. Strengthening his power, Charles V expands the Louvre, builds the Bastille, strengthens the banks of the Seine.
And even in these troubled times, the city continued to grow, but numerous epidemics and wars claimed the lives of the Parisians. In 1419, Paris was captured by the British, which led to the fact that in 1431, King Henry VI of England was crowned at Notre Dame. After 5 years, Paris was returned to the French.

The Renaissance came to Paris with Francis I (1515–1547). The Louvre is being reconstructed into a luxurious palace, an elegant town hall building is being erected. The Seine is overgrown with magnificent mansions. It would seem that the city is now blooming and prettier. But it is not for nothing that the word "Parisians" has the meaning of "troublemakers." The city is shaking religious wars. Catholics stand up to the persecution of Protestants. Thousands were killed on the night of August 23, 1572, this senseless massacre still bears the common name St. Bartholomew's Night. The instability of the royal power leads to starvation of 13 thousand inhabitants of Paris during the siege of the city.

The long-awaited peace comes during the reign of Henry IV (1589-1610), the founder of the Bourbon dynasty. The Edict of Nantes put an end to religious strife in 1598. Over the next two hundred years, the city became not only the largest European capital, but also the center of culture. Each king contributes to the improvement of the city. New avenues are being laid. The Louvre is expanding. Seine is now decorated with stone bridges.
Palaces are being built for royal mothers: the Tuileries Palace for the Queen Mother Catherine de Medici, the Luxembourg Palace for Marie de Medici, the Val de Grace for Anne of Austria. Cardinal Mazarin builds a new educational building, which later became the French Academy.

Despite the obvious rejection of the city, Louis XIV also contributes to the development of Paris. Orders to build a monumental complex Les Invalides. The area near the Louvre is being ennobled, the Tuileries Garden and the Champs Elysees are being laid out. Architect Le Notre innovates radial avenues from Place de la Concorde.

Houses of the Russian Diaspora A. Solzhenitsyn

House of Russian Diaspora A. Solzhenitsyn has been actively engaged in the digitization of his , solving the problems of preserving rare paper originals and providing wide access to information. Access to electronic collections is provided free of charge to visitors of the Library of the House in the local computer network.

They occupy an important place in the digitization program - a valuable source for studying the history of the Russian emigration of the 20th century. However, due to poor preservation and significant gaps in the completeness, they are among the most difficult to access for researchers. In order to restore the completeness of the sets, under agreements with other depositories, numbers that are not in the House's library are digitized.

So, at the end of 2013, a large joint project was completed with the scientific library of the State Archives of the Russian Federation to create an electronic version of the Parisian newspaper Vozrozhdenie.

The Vozrozhdenie newspaper (Paris, 1925-1940, 4239 issues) is one of the most authoritative periodicals of the Russian diaspora. The first chief editor of the newspaper was P.B. Struve, who wrote in a program editorial that, in addition to the “relentless struggle against the abomination and shame of the communist yoke” and the task of liberation, “the authoritative and authoritative voice of history is calling for a creative revival of the national spirit and national existence. ... To liberate and be freed in order to revive and be reborn. The newspaper adhered to this direction until June 7, 1940, when the publication was "temporarily stopped on the eve of the entry of the German army into Paris." From 1949 to 1974, the eponymous book began to appear in Paris. .

Struve, I.D. .Surguchev, Yu.K.Terapiano, N.N.Turoverov, N.A.Teffi, V.F.Khodasevich, I.S.Shmelev and many others. Without referring to the materials published on the pages of the Vozrozhdenie newspaper, the idea of ​​the history of the Russian diaspora in the interwar period will not be complete enough.

Unfortunately, today in Russia there is not a single repository where the entire set of this publication would be presented. The most complete selection has just Library of the State Archives of the Russian Federation , where the newspaper files ended up as part of the RZIA collections. And it is this kit that is now available to visitors of the DRZ and GARF in in electronic format.
