Moments from the life of Alexander Pushkin

Today's day would be a good start with delicious baked goods and invigorating coffee.

Visiting the place where A.S. Pushkin grew up, one cannot ignore this park: it is beautiful, cozy, and immediately brings to mind the fairy tales written by the famous poet. Here you can even meet the characters of these fairy tales.

Take a walk through the park and then check out the Zakharovo estate.

A stop for lunch in a small, cosy café. Not only pizza is served here, you can also try pasta and several types of soup.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Alexander Sergeyevich's childhood. Zakharovo and Vyazemi estates near Moscow are called poetic birthplace of Pushkin, because this is where he spent his childhood years.
These places are connected with the key events in the history of Russia: the Time of Troubles, the Petrine Transformation, and the Patriotic War of 1812. It was here that Kutuzov made his halt.
The museum-reserve is open for visitors with the following restrictions: visiting by hourly sessions, excursion groups of no more than 5 people, contactless payment, compulsory wearing of a mask and gloves.

Another curious place not far from the museum-reserve is the Church of the Transfiguration - it is interesting because it was erected at the end of the XVI-beginning of the XVII century by order of Boris Godunov. At the beginning of the XVII century, on her way to Moscow, Marina Mnishek stopped and prayed in the church in Nikolskoe-Vyazeme.
At the altar of the temple rest the ashes of Nikolai Sergeyevich Pushkin, the younger brother of Alexander Pushkin, who died at the age of six. Alexander himself with his grandmother, Maria Alexeevna, and his sister Olga used to go to Transfiguration church from Zakharov, for Sunday Liturgy.
The war of 1812 crippled the church. Some shrines of the church were taken to Moscow and there hidden in the ground, in the gardens of private landlords.
