    The cradle of the great poet's work

    On the way to the legendary estates of Vyazema and Zakharovo there are very interesting churches. Therefore, our journey will begin with a visit to one of them.
    This trip will not be limited to contact with the art and work of the poet. These places are surrounded by wonderful nature, which Pushkin sang in his compositions. That's what we'll see.

    We spent that day to our advantage. We walked through the picturesque places, imagining how Pushkin walked here. It's hard to imagine how many famous historical figures admired them as we did.
