Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Pushkin Mountains

    07:15 Departure from St. Petersburg from Moskovskaya metro station, demonstration passage (behind the monument to V. I. Lenin), 400 km. Highway tour

    14:00 Arrival in Pushkin Mountains.

    The museum-reserve includes the Mikhailovskoye, Petrovskoye, Trigorskoye and Svyatogorsky Monastery estates.

    Visit to the Petrovskoye estate, an estate donated by Empress Elizabeth Petrovna to the poet's great—grandfather, a native of Africa, godson, pupil, associate of Peter I, Abram Petrovich Hannibal, named by him in honor of his great benefactor.

    The museum's exposition provides visitors with a wealth of information about the life and work of the Hannibals of three generations, who passed through Pushkin's interest in their ancestry, reflected in his work. Guided tour of the museum house and the park.

    Excursion to the Svyatogorsky monastery. The Holy Dormition Monastery of Svyatogorsk was founded by order of Tsar Ivan IV and has been one of the most revered in Russia since ancient times.

    Buried in the monastery at the Hannibal-Pushkin family cemetery are: the poet's grandfather Osip Abramovich Hannibal, grandmother Maria Alekseevna, mother Nadezhda Osipovna and father Sergei Lvovich. The Svyatogorsk Monastery became the last earthly shelter for Pushkin. Visit to the grave of A. S. Pushkin.

    Excursion to the Sergei Dovlatov House Museum. Sergey Dovlatov is one of those writers who have managed to preserve history in their works. Fortunately, there are still preserved, one might even say miraculously, material witnesses of that era.

    Thanks to them, today we can not only imagine, but also see the conditions in which Sergei Dovlatov lived in the 1970s, when he conducted excursions in the Pushkin Museum-Reserve.

    The creators of the museum "Dovlatov's House in the Reserve" in the village of Berezino have done everything possible to preserve the atmosphere and spirit of the era.

    Now this unsightly building has become a monument to the writer, literature, history, and the difficult fate of a Soviet man.
