hi, please tell me, what materials on russian culture of the 19th century did you use to create the snow queen?

Hi! I research on history, books, movies and russian friends. Mine is a fantasy version but still I need to do a lot of research in russian language, so I use Yandex, for example. It's no perfect but it's useful. Some topics I researched on were so forgotten and limited that I had to subscribe to Academia.edu and check essays on very specific topics by academics all around the world. The most I do is to use Pastvu.com which is a great website, showing streets as they were captured from 1800s (and before) to today. This usually brings out little glimpses of life that I can use for new researches and I also use Georeferencer.org for historical maps and Flatinfo.ru for checking if a building was already there in those years. (I'm sure I missed many things on Russian culture so don't take my TLITS as a perfect depiction of pre-revolutionary Russia. I had to cut out many things that today we will see very "typical" of Russian people because they were post soviet influences. )
