Perhaps everyone at least once in his life wanted to know his future. And this is quite normal. In 1914, the Einem chocolate factory (today's Red October), together with chocolates, released a series of postcards with predictions of what Moscow would look like in 200 and even 300 years. Today it is quite amusing to consider the guesses of people who lived a century ago. Some ideas about the future cause a laugh, while others have already come true.
In 1913-1914, Moscow experienced a rapid economic growth, life was measured, everyone calmly looked into their future. Then the Einem chocolate factory produced a series of boxes, in which, in addition to sweets, there were 8 postcards with the ideas of contemporaries about the XXII and even XXIII centuries.
Not only in Russia have they thought about the future. In Europe, too, a series of cards about the future was issued even earlier by the Hildebrands chocolate factory. The postcards depicted people's ideas of what the world would look like in 2000.
