The article discusses the key points of the sociological study of the symbolic space of the city of Izhevsk, performed by T. A. Vlasova and K. N. Obukhov in 2019-2020 and the results, which the researchers have designed in the form of a monograph. When studying the problems of urban development, T. A. Vlasova and K. N. Obukhov managed to get away from the dry bureaucratic language inherent in official documents and reports, and create a «living» picture of the modern Russian city of Izhevsk, reflecting the opinion of the expert community living in this city and ordinary citizens. At the same time, the book contains a lot of «fairy tales», a thoughtful acquaintance with which can be useful both for scientists specializing in the study of the city and urbanism, and for practitioners implementing projects of urban improvement and the formation of the city's brand.
