We walked around the city, went to the museum of astronautics and planetarium, went to see the exhibits of the festival Arhstoyanie. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised by the impression that Kaluga itself has produced on us in particular, and all this weekend in whole And although suddenly the frost began for us and introduced some adjustments to our plans and slightly shortened the time of our walks, I want to believe that after all we were able to sense the spirit of Kaluga, and we really liked it.

19th century residential house museum

And yet, I can not tell you about the amazing apartment that They take pictures of Lyuba and Vova, living in the city center, because dwelling with them very unusual. Remarkably it is not just what is in the very present architectural monument of the 19th century, of which in Kaluga many, and the fact that there once lived and worked a certain writer Silver Age, Boris Zaitsev, even says a sign on facade of the house.

But that’s not all! Previously, the whole house belonged to Michael Nikolayevich Zaitsev – the writer’s uncle, but after the revolution he was divided between ordinary citizens. But the owner of the same apartment which is being shot by our friends, once decided to organize a museum, dedicated to this very writer, and she did it in one of rooms adjacent to her apartment, so now from this apartments can be directly in slippers to go into this modest museum hall, where guided tours and where some significant for city events.

Memorial room dedicated to B.K. Zaitsev

The name of Boris Zaitsev is not so widely known now in wide circles, but in 19-20 centuries, he was a respected man and a prominent figure, although most of his works were written and printed, already being in emigration to paris. It’s a pity, of course, that the years of the Soviet regime Lost from memory many worthy names. And although the memorial the room in Kaluga is modestly furnished and there is not much in it exhibits, it is surprising that with such zeal and diligence engaged people, in fact, have no direct relationship to to the writer, and it is given to them, oh, how difficult.

The correct newspaper was published in those times.

In general, the apartment that the guys are renting can someone seem old and without repair, but it is so friendly and pleasant authentic atmosphere that you do not notice any household little things. At the same time, the dwelling is decorated very interestingly and in the interior. many skillfully selected parts. You know, now love make out the pathos of the cafe in Moscow, antique.
