The new issue of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is not like the previous ones. It is dedicated to the history of Istanbul, or rather, the history of the place, which at different times was called differently - Byzantium-Constantinople-Istanbul. It was filmed "in the field", and this made it possible to combine the lecture with video stories about those places that are connected with the history of Istanbul.
