In the days of the dominance of gadgets and instant messaging is difficult seriously to engage someone three-volume collected works of Vissarion Belinsky, but the fellow furious criticism managed to do the impossible. On his small home in the village of chembar, now the regional center of Belinsky, coming from different corners of Russia and abroad. It is not only lovers of classic fiction, but also poetry lovers of small provincial towns, they still may find stuck in time houses and entire streets.
Belinsky and Lermontov were almost the same age, to the same neighbors. Then it sounds like a literary joke, but now the village of Lermontovo is located in Belinskiy district, mind you, not Vice versa.
To our days preserved estate Belinsky, it was written the name of the district doctor – the father of the future literary critic, his grandfather was a native of the village Belini Penza province. But a rebellious young man during his student years changed just one letter and wrote a name in world history. Today in Penza in honor of Belinsky named University, Central Park and the city where he spent his childhood years.
Preserved the parental HOMESTEAD, and here you can see a lot of personal things classic. Last Bessarion returned to the chembar and lived in his parents ‘ home in 1830.
According to many historians, this manor is of great historical value, the more hyped the Museum-reserve “Tarkhany” – estate grandmother Lermontov, located only 20 kilometers. It was almost completely destroyed and rebuilt according to the surviving documents and photographs. The estate Belinsky preserved in its original form, there is no electricity, the halls just lights falling from the Windows the light. Guests are greeted by a full-length mirror, which looked even more Vissarion Grigoryevich.
by the Way, this Museum will tell the story of Lermontov, but is that never going to hear from the guides in the “Tarkhany”. Unique information – not someone’s invention, not published while the notes of his contemporaries. One of them is the mother of the first Director of the Museum in Chembar Maria Khramova, who personally knew those who found and Lermontov and Belinsky.
– Lermontov’s Grandmother Elizaveta Alekseevna was in the County a prominent figure. Her tent was taken instead of horses, two footmen. In one of them she was, apparently, in love, and in his youth gave him to marry. In retaliation, he often dropped the wagon with the lady in the mud, but each time avoided punishment. From a footman, she would not let go, – says an expert on educational work of the Museum-estate of Belinsky Lyubov Rudneva.
the following sketches of local landowners, the prevailing manners and customs of a provincial town she can talk for hours. Like Lermontov grandmother complained to the Archbishop of the local priest who OBV��nal a local landowner, fell in love with a slave girl younger than him for 29 years. The story of an unequal marriage was discussed, but the priest was forgiven. A couple had had neither the Ohr nor peasants. Although their descendants became the later well-known artists and educators.
People come to a strange city, and he seems so cold and uncomfortable. But when they become more familiar with its inhabitants, the history of families, places become closer to them. These stories are eloquent of many of the exhibits, – says Lyubov Rudneva.
In the Museum of Belinsky’s work dedicated people enthusiastic to the child. Russian commoners after all the intellectual ferment and social upheaval raised the question that Russia is a special civilization. One of the first this was to say Belinsky. And only for these bold looks enough to appreciate it, – says the consultant of UNESCO for the protection of monuments of culture Alexey Suzyumov.
Belinsky come to smell the centuries.
Here there are three memorial building of the early XIX century. In addition to the estate Belinskij is a district school, where he studied with other boys of 10-12 years, and the house of the merchant Antoshina – a monument of architecture. All of them are open to the public.
And around them you can see a real neulaniementie city with lilac bushes and dirt roads, just like two hundred years ago.
Opposite the house lived Belinsky landowner Peter Shugaev – zealous patriot. He was first made to erect a monument to Belinsky and Lermontov. He is the Creator of the tract Shugai, monument of landscape culture, which still bears traces of the master’s caring hands. Symmetrical rows of ancient birch and flowering acacia bushes hiding the sea of fragrant strawberries.
Next to the gorge is situated the grove “12 oaks”, where he loved to hide from the offense cocky Michelle, what was the name of Lermontov’s grandmother. According to legend, was born here his first poem “Circassians”. Native species vaguely resemble the Caucasus.
oddly enough, Belinsky was married. Somehow, this fact causes the visitors of the Museum of genuine surprise. In the five years of the marriage were born three children, but two died in infancy, survived only daughter, Olga. She went to the Greek island of Corfu, where she married, in Greece, live the descendants of Belinsky from his two grandchildren.
They came to the Penza Museum in 1991 and 2001. Then lost touch with them. This is the most ordinary people. Among them are salespeople, middle managers, doctors and teachers, even politicians. They cherish the things that gave them a Russian grandmother. The Museum-estate they gave a picture of “Belinsky on his deathbed”, considering that here is the best place for her. Now she is in Penza picture gallery, – says Lyubov Rudneva.
In Moscow, there are numerous Homo��key associated with relationship through the brothers and sisters of Belinskogo.
– the Name of Belinsky, of course, was familiar to me – superficially, nothing more. When a schoolboy I came across three volumes of his works, donated by my grandmother in the eighth grade, then flipped through them, turned and put it back on the shelf. Since then, Belinsky became for me something abstract, metaphysical, Ghost: the name is there, works there, and that the man – don’t know – they recognize one of the guests of the Museum-estate of St. Petersburg Alexander Batalov. – The atmosphere of the house coincided with my expectations of tranquility, dullness and sad despair. The decor is simple and the furniture is modest and rough. Of course, I soon would go on studying articles and reviews Belinsky stored at the mother of the three volumes, but the Museum has done its good deed. The figure of the “furious Vissarion” has ceased for me to be as abstract as before.
In childhood, the boy was his father’s stories and the city rumors about the antics of officials and landlords. It strongly resented the tyranny.
Belinsky’s Father was the first doctor who in Chembar became to be vaccinated against smallpox. Prior to this, the peasants were convinced that the injections will grow horns.
Belinsky has cooperated with leading literary magazines in Russia and certainly the first signed them to his father, sent him all the copies, and sisters, picture magazines of the Paris fashion.
Personal philosophy: “I was born to call things by their real names; I am in the world fighter”.
Favorite flower is a violet.
