Meet Nikolai Beliakov, a historian who during his years of study exchanged jeans and a sweater for 19th century trousers and a coat. The modern dandy once started sewing his own wardrobe, and as he admits, the first suit was terribly made. But now Nikolai's figure often makes passers-by pay attention to him. He told our colleagues in a short video where this hobby came from, how the townspeople react and what style Nikolai follows.
