Marina Tsvetaeva House Museum
1 hr. 51 min.
Description
The Marina Tsvetaeva House Museum in Borisoglebsky Lane was opened 20 years ago, when the triumphant return of Tsvetaeva's poetry to Russia began, and it became the main place of pilgrimage for admirers of her work.
In the house on Borisoglebsky, in the extraordinarily whimsical apartment No. 3, Marina Tsvetaeva and her family spent their happiest years. Here Tsvetaeva found her "voice," which would come into its full strength already in emigration. Here too her hardest trials began. In Borisoglebsky she saw her husband off to war and lost her younger daughter, saved her elder daughter from starvation and barely survived herself. From the porch of this house she left Russia, to return years later to a different country.
The museum staff will tell how the miraculously preserved house was saved from demolition and turned into a museum, how the museum collection was created from gifts by our contemporaries from all over the world, and will conduct a poetic imaginary tour through Tsvetaeva's memorial apartment.
A separate topic is connected with the Russian Émigré Archive kept in the museum, a unique collection of materials and documents on Russian emigration, transferred to the museum by the Culture Foundation with the assistance of D. S. Likhachov.
The program includes poems by Marina Tsvetaeva, fragments of her letters and memoirs.
Participants in the program:
Director of the Cultural Center "Marina Tsvetaeva House Museum" Esfir Krasovskaya
Museum researcher Elena Kokurina
Museum researcher Valentin Maslovsky
Museum researcher Lev Mnukhin
