Abstract: The turn of the 19th to the 20th century marked a period of industrialization and urbanization that significantly impacted social and economic dynamics. Moscow, like other metropolises of the time, experienced rapid urban population growth, creating a demand for both housing and commercial spaces. In this context, studying the emergence and development of income properties is highly relevant as it sheds light on how urban spaces, society, and human relationships to housing transformed under the influence of economic and social changes during this period.
This research examines and analyzes the role and place of income properties within the urban housing system, assessing how accessible life in such buildings was for city dwellers, the economic foundations behind their emergence, and the impact of their construction on Moscow's architectural landscape. The conclusion offers a summarized evaluation of the economic, social, and cultural significance of income properties in Moscow. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the underexplored history of Moscow's income properties from financial-economic and social perspectives. Firstly, analyzing financial-economic aspects allows for a deeper understanding of investment mechanisms in urban real estate and their influence on market formation. Investigating the motives and financial strategies of owners and investors in income properties can illuminate the reasons behind the success or failure of such ventures, as well as their role in the city's economic development. Secondly, exploring social aspects enables an examination of issues related to social mobility, population structure, and social changes occurring within the context of urban development. These topics broaden our understanding of the city's social history.
Studying these relationships will introduce previously unpublished materials into circulation, systematizing existing data based on diverse sources of information.

Abstract: Video games are becoming an increasingly popular means of entertainment, as well as learning, especially those based on historical events and personalities. However, the issue of historical accuracy and interpretation in these games remains relevant, as errors and simplifications can distort the public's perception of history. This study aims to analyze the role of historical accuracy in video games and its impact on players' understanding of history.
The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of historians in the development of video games, and to assess how games approach the task of presenting historical authenticity. It also examines the potential impact of video games on education and historical interest, emphasizing the significance of accurately presenting historical facts to avoid mythologization and misrepresentation. The research employs methods such as analyzing literary sources, conducting interviews with video game developers and historians, and conducting comparative analysis between video games and historical facts. The scientific novelty of this research lies in its analysis of how video games and their historical accuracy affect the formation of collective historical memory. Unlike previous studies that mainly focused on the descriptive aspect of video games, this research aims to explore how historians can contribute to their creation by ensuring the transmission of reliable historical data and accurate interpretations.
An important aspect of this study is the critical analysis of historical anachronisms and inaccuracies in popular video games. The research identifies the causes of these errors and suggests ways to improve historical accuracy in video game content. Additionally, the article addresses the commercial and cultural challenges that developers face when incorporating historical content into video games and proposes strategies to strike a balance between entertainment and education.
