Semashko made an article in Izvestia about the harmful health consequences of walking without clothes in a large northern city. The police began to resolutely suppress the actions of the society and achieved a complete cessation of them.

1739: Michurinsky plan of Moscow
The restoration of the city and all Kremlin churches after the fire of 1737 was led by Ivan Fedorovich Michurin, an architect who worked in the Russian Baroque style. He acted on science: a large team of surveyors under his leadership carried out geodetic surveys of the Kremlin, Kitai-Gorod and the White City. Then the Earthen City, Zamoskvorechye, the area beyond the Earthen City up to the Kompaneysky Rampart were filmed.
As a result of these filming, the plan of Moscow was drawn and it was determined where and how many building materials to import.
The plan was published in 1739 and was called the "Plan of the Imperial Capital City of Moscow."

"Muscovites are considered cunning and more deceitful than all other Russians, and in particular they cannot be relied on to fulfill contracts.
