Mayakovsky's dacha
Sights of Pushkino and its surroundings await tourists
The Moscow region has many colorful places where you can spend a weekend and also bring with you a portion of fresh impressions, souvenirs and discoveries. For example, the city of Pushkino.
For five centuries it has been a dacha complex favored by famous writers, architects and merchants, and now it is worth seeing for tourists. It is especially pleasant to visit the places of Paustovsky, Baratynsky, merchants Evgeniy Armand, Rabenek-Mikhailovs. Inside the merchants' dachas, you can not only appreciate the ancient decoration, but also learn how Pushkino became the center of the weaving industry.
Visit the dacha of the great poet - V.V. Mayakovsky
There are no usual museum things here, and there are no objects from Mayakovsky’s time. The dacha museum is an improvisation museum. For example, in place of the poet’s desk there is a lathe, which serves as a reminder that Mayakovsky “honed” the lines of poems. The employees call the dacha museum an art platform. Exhibitions, master classes, rallies and “battles of poets” are constantly held here.
The museum is open daily from 12:00 to 18:00, but it is better to notify about your visit in advance. Friendly Natalya Pavlovna will meet you and give you a short tour.

Visit a former country estate - Pushkin Museum of Local Lore
The museum dates its history back to 1962, but it moved to the building of the former Rabenek-Mikhailov country estate in the early 80s. The estate was once large, with many buildings, but now only this house remains. Moreover, it even survived attempts to demolish it in the 20th century.
They say that ropes were tied to the building, which the bulldozer was supposed to pull, but they could not stand it and broke, and there were no new ropes, so they decided to leave the house. By the time it moved there, the museum had already accumulated about 1,500 exhibits; it took about two years to move them all to the new building. One of the most interesting departments of the museum stores objects found during archaeological excavations in the city.
Also in the museum you can learn about the nature of the Pushkin region, the history of the village of Pushkino, famous figures of literature and art who lived in the city. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to Pushkin’s sister cities, the history of the city and region during the Great Patriotic War.

Holy Caves – Compound of the Holy Trinity Stefano-Makhrishchi Monastery
The compound is located in the village of Talitsy, about 50 kilometers from the main monastery (the Makhrishchi monastery itself is located on the Molokcha River in the village of Makhra, Alexandrovsky district, Vladimir region). Carrying out their obedience at a distance from the monastery, monks Anthony and Simeon took it upon themselves to dig caves for solitary prayer. They dug them secretly, when no one saw, for nine years. The corridors between the cells in the thickness of the hill stretched for almost a hundred meters.
At the place where the elders were buried, a wooden chapel was built at the end of the 19th century, and later a stone one was built. During the years of Soviet power, the courtyard fell into decay, the cave temple was almost completely destroyed. In 2007, the underground temple was consecrated in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki, the heavenly patron of Prince Dmitry Donskoy, who stopped here in 1380 on his way to St. Sergius.

Look at the collection of artifacts from various eras of local historian Alexander Malyavko - private museum “On the Waves of Our Memory”
The museum in the Pushkin microdistrict of Klyazma is unusual in all respects. It is located on the territory of a private house and was created by a local enthusiast, local historian and collector of all kinds of artifacts, Alexander Fedorovich Malyavko. Actually, the museum itself is one small room and an entrance hall, but you can hang here for more than an hour.
In the attic there is almost a real cinema hall with a projector, there is a small art gallery of local wild painters and a continuation of the exhibition - stuffed fish, children's cars, bubbles, bottles and flasks. The technical intelligence of the owner is visible everywhere - the curtains on the window open automatically when a secret lever is pressed, the staircase to the attic is lowered using a clever mechanism, and in the entryway there is even a TV assembled by Malyavko’s hands.
Alexander Fedorovich was born in 1937, graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Film Engineers, and then worked as a film equipment engineer, including at the Gorky Film Studio. In Pushkino he is known as a desperate local historian, passionate about the history of his small homeland. Malyavko even wrote the unofficial anthem of Klyazma.

Place of performance of Fyodor Chaliapin - Temple of the Bogolyubskaya Icon of the Mother of God
The foundation was laid in 1906, and construction was completed on the eve of the First World War. Next to the temple there was a wooden church in honor of St. Nicholas the Pleasant, built in 1871, a clergy house, outbuildings, a holy well, a chapel and a cemetery. All together it was called the Nikolo-Bogolyubsky complex. Even Fyodor Chaliapin himself sang in the church choir.
Under Soviet rule, the complex of buildings was destroyed, and the Bogolyubsky Church was closed and “beheaded” in 1936 - the crosses and the dome were removed. A club opened in the church premises, but for some reason people were not very willing to go there. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, a military registration and enlistment office was opened within the church walls, and in 1942, a bakery was turned into a bakery from the church.
According to the bakers, the management of the bakery tried for almost 30 years to paint over the fresco of the Bogolyubskaya Mother of God, painted on the internal vault of the temple, but it again appeared from under the layer of paint, so they had to cut it down along with the bricks.

See the largest collection of planes in Russia - Museum of Carpentry Tools
In addition to instruments by Russian masters, the exhibition includes instruments from the USA, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Japan and other countries. All of them are operational and at least now ready to work.
In the workshop, by the way, you can really try yourself as a joiner and carpenter. Of course, you won’t be allowed to plan a board with a rare 17th-century plane, but you can work with more modern models. This activity is extremely noble and educational. For, as Peter I said, “as long as the planks in a ship stand tightly together, then they can travel around the entire universe and not be afraid of any storm, and when they are separated from each other, then they can sail below a hundred fathoms.”

Overnight stay for the royals - Smolensk Church
Saltykov is the royal father-in-law: his daughter Praskovya married Ivan Alekseevich, and he himself built two-story chambers in 1691-1694. A house temple adjoined them on the eastern side. A regular linden park was laid out around the chambers, an orchard was planted and a pond was dug.
In addition, a weaving factory, stables and servants' houses were built. In the 18th century, the Safari chambers repeatedly served as a refuge for royalty on their way to a pilgrimage to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. As a sign of this, a small crown is placed on the cross of the temple dome.
In 1902–1905, on the south side of the refectory, the Nikolsky chapel with a parish school was built. Funds for this were provided by the Moscow merchant Vera Abramovna Egorova. After the closure of the temple, some utensils, icons, as well as the royal doors of the 16th century, were transferred to the Kolomenskoye Museum, where they are still stored. Restoration of the temple began in the 1970s, and church services were resumed here in the 1990s.

Then a large-scale restoration of the cathedral began. Fortunately, most of the paintings and masonry were restored. Currently, the church continues to operate, on its basis there is a Sunday school and a number of clubs for children and adults.
