History

[edit]

From 1619 "patrimony in Arzamas district in Zalesnoye going for Sadkovskii gate, the village of Boldino, which was a village Zavorotnyi under a large Mordovian black forest" was listed as belonging to F. F. Pushkin, a participant in the protection of Moscow in 1612. Since 1840 the Boldino owned by the grandfather of Alexander Pushkin, Lev Aleksandrovich Pushkin. At the beginning of the 19th century, the estate was divided between Sergei Lvovich and Vasily Lvovich Pushkin (the poet's father and uncle).[2]

Museum

[edit]

Boldino reserve and Pushkin Museum were created in stages. It took a lot of time to restore the original landlord's house, interior interiors, documents and things. The Park around the mansion is also centuries old. It was under these trees that the poet walked, rhyming lines for his poems. The fully renovated complex of the manor house, which includes a house, a kitchen, household services and a human, was ready in 1990. Work was done on the improvement of Boldino Church "assumption" and a house in the village of l'vivka, which also have been a poet. The Museum, dedicated to the Boldin period of the poet's life and work, is located in the former bar house of Pushkin. After the death of Sergei Lvovich (in 1849), the estate passed to Lev Sergeevich, the poet's brother. In 1911 the estate was purchased by the Treasury. Since 1949, this land is a Museum-reserve of Pushkin. Now it includes a memorial estate in the village of Big Boldino, the grove and the estate of the Archer of the poet's son AA Pushkin in the village of Lviv.
