In 1830, Alexander hurried from his Nizhny Novgorod estate of Boldino in Moscow to the bride Natalia Goncharova. Successfully passing the 14 cholera quarantines placed on the way to Moscow, past Pushkin to overcome hurriedly couldn’t. It was located just in platava – then known as the village at Vladimir tract (now the Gorky highway, which, however, leads not to Gorky and Nizhny Novgorod).

they Say Platava – the word “handkerchief”, the production of which involved the local weavers. At the mail station in platava, like many others in bogorodskii County, Moscow province (now Bogorodsk – Noginsk, but the area where Plotava, Orekhovo – Zuyevo), there was neither hotel nor Inn. About stationmaster Ivan Cherepyn reported to his superiors, but to no avail. Therefore Pushkin had to settle in the house to one of the weavers – Daniel Evteeva. As it is now would say to the isolation.

– Here is how we have lived – that happy when we are two weeks put under arrest in a dirty hut to the weaver on bread and water, – wrote Alexander to his Natalie.

He was hoping to get away early, despite the quarantine and the broken crew. But when it became clear that Plataue will have to stay, wrote the following letter, that the carriage, which had been sent for him from Moscow, is not required. True, and for two weeks did not have to wait – isolation lasted less.

But Pushkin still a lot of time. With a Boldin he was carrying several chapters of “Eugene Onegin”, “little House in Kolomna”, five of Belkin. And probably worked on these manuscripts and Platavskogo quarantine. And the poem “My genealogy” Alexander exactly finished here. It is embossed and on the monument classics, it is positioned near the library, which is closed. And not because of the coronavirus quarantine.

Yes, the library Ogirenko not working – confirmed to the correspondent of “homeland” in Malodubenskoe territorial division the city district of Orekhovo-Zuyevo. How long is there to clarify difficult.

…gradually Overgrown popular trail to the Pushkin monument. Cars often stop in Plotava and Ogirenko to ask the price of the soft toys that sell here in large numbers right near the houses. Garter fishery here has not been preserved. However, once a year at the monument to try to gather on Pushkin holiday. But this time on the Bulletin Board was only the invitation to last year’s concert in the neighboring village of Malaya Dubna…

Avdeevsky hut, where a few days have lived Pushkin, stood in Plotava until the mid-1940s, and then it was dismantled for firewood. But the memory of the stay of the poet carefully preserved, as if in an expensive shawl kutal.

Eugene counteracting malefactors and security systems in the anthology “Bogorodskiy region” wrote that during Pushkin quarantine poet met Simon Karpasov: “sharp-witted Man, he had a reputation in the village literate. I immediately understood that for an important gentleman with him had a conversation. About his meeting and conversation with the famous poet told later to his son Michael. And Michael S., lived a long life and died after 1917, gave the family tradition, Doucet daughter”.

And Eudoxia Buravleva, nee Karpachova, gave the history descendants. And on a monument fussed too it.

Pushkin was passing through Platau at least four times – in 1833 and 1834 respectively. Breezing in “their” house is unknown.

Now it would be possible to see Pushkin in Plotava and Ozherelki “lunch”, “at rest” and “read”. But, as in Pushkin’s time, there’s no restaurant or hotels. And now the library.

…Clear to me the times the wrongness,

don’t contradict, right, her,

we Have a new birth of nobility,

And the newer the honorable…

he wrote here on the isolation in the 1830-m. And like today.
