Lifetime editions either of Marina Tsvetaeva and her contemporaries – Anna Akhmatova, N. Gumilev, A. Blok, O. Mandelstam and others are presented.

The biggest section of the exhibition is “Evacuation – Elabuga”. Here a honourable place have things that belonged to Marina Tsvetaeva – teaspoons, notes paper, cameo – father’s gift, a dish bought by her in Germany in 1922; hair strand of Marina Ivanovna and powder-box of her daughter Ariadna. And also copies of M.I. Tsvetaeva letters from the archives of the NKVD.

House of Memory of Marina Tsvetaeva.

??? ?????? ????????? ? ???????By the placement of City Council Marina Ivanovna and her son got a room in the house of Brodelschikovy by address: Voroshilova str., house 10 (now street Malaya Pokrovskaya, 20). In the House of Memory the atmosphere of August 1941 was significantly restored. Things of Brodelschikovy’s family: chest, sewing machine, wall mirror, dishes.


 

The atmosphere of the unseen presence of the Marina Ivanovna reigns here as though she came out for a while and will be back soon. There is her beret on unpacked suitcases, on the couch – a knitted blanket. Motionless time left Marina Tsvetaeva LIVE in Elabuga. Everyone here can feel “eternal twilight and eternal bells”. The main value is the note-book of Marina Ivanovna that was taken out of her apron after the tragedy.
