Lermontovs house biography

A virtual tour of the places of Lermontov’s house-museum of M. Lermontov in Pyatigorsk a house under the Kamyshova roof in Pyatigorsk. Lermontov lived in it for the last two months of his life: from May 14 to July 15. This is the only place associated with the name of the poet, preserved in its original form. Lermontov in Pyatigorsk “Yesterday I arrived in Pyatigorsk, hired an apartment on the edge of the city, on the highest place, at the sole of Mashuk, it was in such a place that the author of the“ Hero of our time ”Mikhail Lermontov with his friend Captain Stolypin lived.

The estate itself was built by Vasily Umanov according to the project of architect Giuseppe Bernardazzi. А вот маленький домик с террасой, где жил поэт, строился уже отставным плац-майором Василием Чилаевым, после покупки основного здания. Especially for renting a resort public. White Mazanka, windows with shutters - an ordinary peasant house. Unless the location is successful: the mountains are nearby and the main attractions of the city.

Two years before Lermontov, the Russian poet and translator Dmitry Oznobishin with his family stayed in this house. It was here that he created the Caucasian Cycle. The guests planned to live in this house the entire holiday season. Future participants in the tragedy, Nikolai Martynov and Mikhail Glebov settled in the neighborhood. The summer of the year turned out to be rich.

Lermontov led a flying detachment, leaving the most incredible alterations alive. In the evenings, young officers gathered at the Lermontov half. Lermontov was the soul of society. As if anticipating an ambulance, Lermontov worked hard. He was in a hurry to bring it into the notebook: “Oak sheet”, “No, I don’t love you so ardently”, “I go out on the road”, “Prophet”.

Just two days before his death at the Verzilin Ball, inviting the hostess to the Valsa tour, Lermontov exclaimed: “Emilia! I ask you for only one waltz tour, the last in my life ”... There was still no quarrel with Martynov, and the words were perceived as an ordinary joke. But that evening, a small skirmish ended with a call. After a fateful shot on Mount Mashuk, Lermontov’s body was transported from the place of the duel to a small house - the last refuge.

The Museum-Reserve, however, did not immediately become the Museum of the Museum. In the year, on the initiative of the playwright Alexander Ostrovsky, a memorial plaque appeared at the entrance. Alexei Tolstoy and Sergey Yesenin came to pay tribute to the poet’s memory. The house changed the owners several times. Only in the year the city authorities bought the estate.

The very first acquisitions of the museum are a desk and a chair brought from St. Petersburg. Evgenia Shan-Girey, the second cousin of the poet, conveyed personal items from his St. Petersburg apartment that had once belonged to Lermontov.

And since the year, the museum has become called the State Museum-Reserve Memory of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov. The house was returned the former appearance. Of the objects of that time, only a round table at the sofa was preserved. But it was possible to recreate the situation with the corresponding era - modest, as is inherent in the Caucasian officer. The museum has four departments: the literary house of General Verzilin, the Lermontov house, the department "M.

Lermontov in the visual arts ”and the house of composer Alexander Alyabyev, the author of the romances“ Nightingale ”and“ Evening Calling ”. The museum occupies a whole quarter in the historical part of Pyatigorsk. Virtual Museum named after
