Where do I find reliable and accurate information about how life was around 1840-1860 in Russian Empire, for both working class and nobility, preferably not in Russian?

I need more information about how life was like for a book I plan to write.

Note: I am German, so if you recommend me specific libraries outside of it, it would be tough for me. Also I did try my local libraries, both the university library and the regular one neither had books about Russia before the begin of the USSR.

I have found 6 books already, I don't think I need more for now. Thank you everyone for answering.

Please recommend me good Macedonian Artists/Band and songs

As the title says: I would like to discover more artist from my homeland, but finding actually good artists is proving quite difficult. If you have recommendations pls give me.

I would prefer it, if the songs are also in Macedonian.

Ouji clowncore outfits

So I designed some clowncore inspired ouji and pride inspired ouji. Not sure if both completely work, but I do like them.

The 1. Version is inspired by the lolita dress I already own.

The 2. Version is mostly designed to rememind of pride flags. I am not sure if the half skirt fits with the vest. But a plain black vest was kind of boring.

The outfit on the right (blue/pink and yellow/purple) is meant to be worn with the black vast and half skirt, but I am unsure if these would actually work together.

But what do you think?

Is there clown core ouji?

Hey everyone. So I have seen some circus/clown inspired lolita cords and also some jester/pierot inspired ouji cords.

But does pure utter whimsical bright and colourful clown core exist in ouji?

I need it in my life.

The most similar style that I have seen in terms of brightness is sweet ouji.

If you have recommendations of where to find whimsy ouji fashion please please please give me.

Thank you
