    Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin spent most of his life in St. Petersburg. However, he was born and spent his childhood years in places near Moscow.
    Journey to the places of the poet's childhood, descriptions of which he later used in his works, will allow you to look at Pushkin's art from a new perspective.

    Государственный историко-литературный музей-заповедник А.С. Пушкина

    We'll start our journey by visiting the museum-reserve in the Big Vyazemy.
    This estate used to belong to Princes Golitsyn. Natalia Petrovna Golitsyna served as the prototype of an old princess to A.S. Pushkin in the novel "The Queen of Spades". An interesting fact: a princess who was fond of playing cards once lost all her fortune, but immediately played it back, knowing the secret of "three cards".
    There are now excursions around the area and a boat can be rented from the pond.

    Захарово

    Born in Moscow, Alexander Pushkin spent every summer at his grandmother M.A. Hannibal. I suggest visiting places associated with the childhood of his beloved writer. You can visit the preserved house and the park. For children there is an interesting interactive, play the same games that played little Pushkin.
