The Ryazan land can rightfully be proud of its past. It was the birthplace of many outstanding people who had a significant impact on the development of advanced Russian scientific thought, literature and art, world science and culture.
For almost four centuries, the village of Konstantinovo has stood on the picturesque high bank of the Oka River, famous for the fact that the Russian poet Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was born here on October 3, 1895. His childhood and youth were spent here.
During our excursion to the poet's homeland, we will visit the following expositions: the Memorial Estate of S.A. Yesenin's parents, the Priest's House of I.Ya. Smirnov, the Zemstvo School, the Estate of L.I. Kashina, the Museum of the poem "Anna Snegina", the Literary Museum, the Carriage Yard.

Ryazan is a city described in chronicles, sung in epics and songs, noted in the lives of saints, the writings of historians, in novels and poems, grew up in an ancient agricultural region and was originally called Pereyaslavl.
In the old days, Ryazan used to compete with Moscow with its wealth and power. The beauty and grandeur of the city can still be felt now. Let's make sure of this by taking a city tour: the Kremlin, Cathedral Square, monument to Oleg Ryazansky, Gostiny Dvor, the building of the Noble Assembly of the Ryazan province, monuments to Yevpaty Kolovrat, monument to the great poet Sergei Yesenin and much more.
Next, we will have a beautiful artistic and musical performance - an excursion to the Ryazan Art Museum, which is called the Ryazan Tretyakov Gallery, one of the Russian treasures of fine art.
Currently, the museum's collection includes about 12,000 works of Russian and Western European art of the XV-XX centuries of various types and genres.
The museum is located in an architectural monument of the early 19th century – a noble boarding house of the provincial men's gymnasium. This is a two-storey palace-type building by an unknown architect and the outstanding architect of Russian classicism, M.F. Kazakov. The building belonged to the Ryazan millionaire merchant Gavrila Vasilyevich Ryumin.

How did the writer Chekhov work? What did his creative well-being depend on? At what time of the year, what weather, and what time of day did the writer work best? What writing habits did Anton Pavlovich have and why did some of them baffle others? How did the aspiring writer Antosha Chekhonte work on the manuscripts, and how did the famous writer Anton Chekhov?
What did Chekhov's famous notebooks look like, what and how did he write in them, and where did the unused notes disappear to? Why are there almost no drafts in the writer's archive? Did Chekhov have writer's phobias? Did Chekhov really give a lot of literary advice? Finally, is it possible to "bake" a story in Chekhov's style and what is needed for this?
