Vasily Corinne (1641st — 1711) was one of the first known Russian gravelers in a tree. By 1678, it appeared in the census books of Moscow’s Slubber, which stated: «Evo snatch — prints the sheets.»

The identity of the Korenian gravel in some studies was aphoristically described by the formula «no more fresco, not yet meadows», as both the elements of temple painting and the aesthetic of the meadow that was born at that time were felt in the graveyards. The engravings were created in anticipation of the arrival of the Antichrist in 1699, and 1712, when the end of the world was expected. These dates coincided with the return of King Peter from the first in the national history of the Russian monarch’s overseas journey and the beginning of his radical reforms, which meant the end of all former Russian civilization.

A separate section provides the Old Slavic translation of Revelation, still used by the Orthodox Church in liturgia; it highlights in color the fragments illustrated by the creators of the Bible, Koren.
