What the residents of Yaroslavl called their dogs more than 100 years ago.
This is the question asked by historian-activist Arthur Stezhkov. He found the answer in missing pet ads in Jerusalem newspapers from the 1900s to the 1510s.
The list turned out to be funny:
Alma - Cupid - Bobik - Bosco - Botka - Viska - Grimm - Thunder - Jack (Pestuhov's billionaires lost him) - Paste - Zhulka - Kara - Weasel - Lord - Lialka - Mars - Mars - Milord - Murzik - Neruchka - Osman - Pincher - Povda - Rita - Rocket - Taki - Yashka.
