the founder of the dynasty Alexey Alekseev, received his freedom in the Yaroslavl province, in 1746, came to Moscow, began to sell in the silver row, and soon it ranked as the merchants. He was not very well known, but the names of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren knew everyone in town: if they built hospitals, schools, museums, laid sewer and water mains, opened theatres. After the October revolution of 1917, their company was nationalized.
the Son of Alexei Petrovich, semen Alekseevich, was only 34 years old when he established the city’s production of gold and silver GIMP. Thin threads of wire used in embroidery came into fashion when Catherine II: the luxurious, embroidered with gold and silver clothing will become the dress code for the nobility.
Alexeyev was not limited to one market: it is a waste of time used in jewelry, adorned her clothes of priests — the entrepreneur personally toured monasteries, by showing samples. Zolotokrylin production bring stable high income. Soon Semyon Alexeyev became the first Guild merchant, and even the title, welcome for any entrepreneur, allowed to receive honorary citizenship, applies also to children.
For my family Semyon bought the estate, built in 1767 by architect Rodion Kazakov and rebuilt. The former owner of this magnificent building in classicism style was mayor Vassily Zhigarev. The street on which settled Alexeyev was called until 1919 (now ulitsa Alexander Solzhenitsyn), but to the Industrialists the name had nothing. The historical name was given in the nearby Church of St. Alexis the Metropolitan of that over the Yauza river. Alexeyev, this house belonged to the late XIX century.
After the death of Semyon Alekseyev in 1823 his place in the company took Vdovina came from a merchant family Vishnyakov — owners of the factory crimped silver. Under her leadership, the production Alekseeva has reached a new level: products have become widely known in other countries, has participated in many international exhibitions.
One of the three sons of Simeon A. — Vladimir Alekseev — was able to further expand the family business. Not forgetting zolotokrylin factory, passed to him in 1849, he founded the partnership the New company had been a buyer of wool, its processing and further resale at a cloth factory.
Family zolotokrylin factory in the 1870-ies made a splash first in the country introduced a machinery, which had a beneficial impact on the quality. Manual labour is partly replaced work flatting machines, steam hammer and other latest devices. Previously it used only in Lyon.
One of the most famous people from family Alexeyev was the great-grandson of the founder of much hard work factory. When he was 18 years old, his father appointed him assistant in the enterprise management. The young man has proved himself brilliantly delved into the most complex issues, undertook the difficult task to gain experience. He knew that once he can stand at the head of the company.
However, his career was not limited. In 25 years, he became a member of the Moscow city Duma, and at age 32 he was elected mayor on this post he remained for Muscovites loved him, seeing how he relates to his work. Nikolai would often walk around the city with a notebook, noticing what should be given special attention. Approach it could be anyone — to report a problem or just to say Hello. Alekseev listened to everyone.
Competent politician, he did much for the city — for example, helped build medical and educational institutions, it was on his initiative began the construction of sewer system was updated plumbing. When Alexeev appeared a pumping station that allowed us to bring the Mayor personally paid for the construction of pressure towers at Krestovskaya Outpost (up to the present day they have not survived). The first asphalt road is also to his credit.
Particularly interesting story associated with the appearance in 1894 of the psychiatric clinical hospital № 1 named after N. And. Alekseev in Soviet times bore the name of p. P. Kashchenko. The project was expensive, and Alekseev, making the first installment, called to follow the example of the capital’s wealthy merchants. To personally discuss the case, he even invited them to the reception. In the midst of the conversation one of them, grinning in the face to the mayor, said All was quiet, watching what will happen next.
Alexeyev such sacrilege responded coolly. Without saying a word, he bowed to the merchant under the surprised looks the other guests, waiting for that insolent now kicked away. And the astonished tyrant, too, not believing his eyes, then laid the promised money.
Such an act, Nikolai has earned even more respect from the rest of the merchants, and all who heard about this story, saying only someone who truly cares about the city and its inhabitants, is able to forget about pride. Thus, the merchant, who wished to humiliate Alekseeva, once more raised it.
Nikolai Alexeyev, who adored the art, and manifested itself while running, inconspicuous, useless. Alekseev decided that I would make him one of the favorite places of Muscovites.
Nikolai Alexeyev tragically died March 9, 1893. All his fortune went to his wife, Alexandra Vladimirovna. Took over his place in the Association “Vladimir Alekseev”, she made one of the biggest pourtovrepresentations to the charity in the history of the city —the money went, in particular, on completion of the Alekseev psychiatric hospital and orphanage.
Nikolai was not the only mayor in the history of the family — this post is from January 1840 to October 1841 was occupied by his great-uncle Alexander.
the Famous reformer of the theatre, Director, actor, teacher actually also Alekseev. The pseudonym under which he is known throughout the world, he only took in 1885 at the age of 22 years, to “not embarrass the family” is too strong a passion for theatre. Stage art he has loved since childhood — in his house had decided to play family performances. However, to serve as Konstantin Sergeyevich did not begin on stage, and in the factory of his father — the same one which produced a rigmarole. The theatre seemed to remain only as a hobby.
His talent as an innovator, he demonstrated for the first time just in the workplace. The factory Konstantin Sergeyevich came to work at the beginning of 1880-x years and a few years later went to Germany and France to see how the functioning of the European factories. Upon arriving home, he announced that the most profitable will be the case involving Why not think about how to produce not a waste of time, and cable?
Soon the factory (Stanislavsky was one of the Directors) has teamed up with the company of relatives, forming a partnership In the early 1900’s there was established a copper-rolling production, and created the Department, which produced insulated conductors for weak currents. Still later appeared the copper-mill and cable plants. Konstantin Sergeyevich did not stop there and later built a new cable housing.
“My game”: 155 years since the birth of Konstantin Stanislavski
Before the creation of the Moscow art theatre remained a few years: in 1894, Stanislavski continued to play performances on the stage of the Moscow society of lovers of art and literature, and in its factory formed a choir and a reading room for ordinary workers where often staged public readings. After a year there ukrelectroservice explained his appearance for the benefit of the production that the employees “did not Canyelles”, that is, not drinking after work.
Workers wanting to be distracted from everyday routine, with pleasure and watched performances, and themselves participated in them. The theater became so popular that a few years had to build a separate building. Sponsored the construction itself in front of me. Meanwhile, the plant began to need additional land — orders became more and more. The Director began to ask to pay for these needs, the building of the theatre, and he had to give way to the bottom floor.
Under the direction of Stanislavsky, the family company became one of the best cableof covered plants in the country. Stanislavski was a Director until 1917. Then the company was nationalized, and it was called “electric cable”.
the Former owner of all this has little care — he’s entirely focused on theatre. He lived at the time on the street karetnyy Ryad in the house with the mezzanine, once owned by the factory owner Cartwright Alexander Markov. The building, the pediment of which is decorated with sculptures of griffins, could not fail to attract the attention of passers-by. His next dwelling was a house of the XVII century in Leontief lane, which today is a Memorial house-Museum of Konstantin Stanislavsky.
