Spring is in the air, so let s speak about something romantic! For example, about the first bal of Natasha Rostova.
What house was the prototype of Rostovs estate in War and peace?
Did the 200 year old elm, the favorite of Ivan Bunin, remain?
Where did the people who worked in the tzar kitchen live?
What other sculpture of Vera Muhina after Worker and kolhoz woman is popular in Moscow?
Where did Pushkin first read his poem Poltava?
You will know all this when you see our new video!
Today our Moscow travel guide invites you to walk along the most aristocratic street in Moscow - Povarskaya. It connects New Arbat and Sadovoye ring.
In fact Povarskaya means Cook s street. Its because those, who were in service in the Tzar kitchen lived here In 16th -17th century. And also Ivan the Great s guardsmen, because this street was a way to Novgorod.
We ll start our excursion from the legendary restaurant Praga. It was opened in 1872 and the address was Povarskaya, 1. After the October revolution this luxury restaurant turned into a canteen! Mayakovskiy liked to eat here.
This is a church of Simeon Stolpnik. It was built in 17th century. Look at its beautiful 5 domes in the traditional Moscow style.
Here count Sheremetiev married a serf actress Praskovia Zhemchugova. Gogol used to come here during the last years of his life.
Let s continue our walk and go up the street to the Sadovoe ring. The Golden age of the estates on Povarskaya starts from the 18th century, from the Peter times.
The Tzar kitchen moves to the new capital St Petersburg. And the street begins to be a home of russian aristocrats: Gagarin, Golitsin, Dolgorukiy, Volkonsky.
Today most of the estates host different foreign embassies, for example Norway or Cyprus. In Bludov s estate on Povarskaya, 15 there is a Supreme court of Russia now. Look, here is the sculpture of Femida, without an eye patch for some reason.
Not far from the Borisoglebsky street was a court of Peter s the first sister Natalia.
Unfortunately not all estates survived till nowadays. Some of them burned out, some were demolished.
For example between 2 streets Borisoglebskiy and Big Rshevskiy instead of 2 luxury estates of the 18th century the soviets made a park of Ivan Bunin. 200year old elm the favorite Bunins tree unfortunately has not survived.
Lets continue our excursion. Look at the house number 25, the Gagarin estate. Prince Gagarin, the director of the Emperors theatre ordered to build the main house in the empire style.
In the 1920s the cavalry school was in this building, and in the 1937 it became the Literature institute. In the yard you can find another famous sculpture of Vera Muhina The thunderbird of Revolution.
And here is the Orlov s house. In the 19th century it belonged to the count Sheremetiev. In one of its splendid halls Pushkin read his poem Poltava for the 1st time.
The only wooden house that remained on Povarskaya, is the house with mesonine of the princess Volkonskaya.
House number 50 - the famous Writers house was the first writers cub in Moscow.
And at last we came up to the house № 52. This very estate with 6 columns was the home of Tolstov s Natasha Rostova, the hero of his famousWar and peace.
This yellow estate is made in russian classicism style. There is a small church near the main house. In 1920 the Palace of arts was opened here. Boris Pasternak, Alexey Tolstoy, Sergei Esenin and Marina Zvetaeva performed here.
In the yard you cfn see the monument to Lev Tolstoy made by Vasnetcov.
Today several writing organizations and restaurants are located here.
Povarskaya led us to the Sadoviy ring. Here, on Kudrinskaya square Moscow travel guide and me, Vera will say bye bye to you.

Tolstoy House Museum (Yasnaya Polyana) in Moscow, Russia 4K
Tolstoy House & Gorky Museums (Yasnaya Polyana) in Moscow, Russia 4K
There is a small corner of rural charm in the center of Moscow. Tolstoy’s House Museum feels as if it still contains his spirit.
The wooden house, with some land and outbuildings, tells us a story about the life of Tolstoy's family. In 1882, Leo Tolstoy yielded to his wife's repeated requests to move from his ancestral estate at Yasnaya Polyana into a Moscow house. Sofia, his devoted wife, assured him that their children would be able to get a better education in the capital and so it was here that the large family spent all their winters till 1901.
It was in those years that Leo Tolstoy's life principles were transformed. A lover of women and drinking bouts, he turned into a person of strict moral rules based on Christian Humanism. He adhered to a formula of “four relays”, which was a way of switching activities in order to train all four of man's abilities. The first relay was devoted to physical labor, the second to mental labor, the third to handicrafts, and the fourth to communication with people. Leo Tolstoy devoted himself to these rules. He got up early, chopped wood and carried water from the well. His handicraft passion was making leather boots – and you can see two pairs that he made at the museum.
The dumbbells and a bicycle are the evidence of his interest in keeping fit. Amazingly, he cycled for the first time when aged 67. He was a man of a good physical health, and this allowed him to work hard. While he was writing, silence fell in the house. Nobody dared to make noise while Leo Tolstoy was writing. His great works - including War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Resurrection - were much appreciated by his contemporaries both in Russia and around the world. Among the admirers of his talent were such renowned personalities as Flaubert, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and Thomas Mann. All of them paid him lofty tributes.
His welcoming Moscow house received no less distinguished friends. They included the young Sergei Rachmaninov who played the piano and once accompanied Shalyapin’s singing; the artist Ilya Repin whose portrait of Tatyana, Tolstoy's daughter, hangs in the corner room; his friend-artist N.N. Ge whose bust of Tolstoy stands in the living room; and the writer Maxim Gorky with whom he used to play chess.

Arbat street. The soul of Moscow. [MoscowTravelGuide]
So let's walk along the Arbat pavement and find out where Lev Tolstoy had dinner, where Alexander Pushkin spent his honeymoon and where Bulgakov's Margarita flew on the broom.
From the 19th century Arbat becomes one of the most aristocratic street in Moscow together with Povarskaya street. You can see an interesting video about this street on our channel.
Tolstoy, Rastopchin, Gagarin, Dolgorukiy, Cheremetiev, Golitsyn - all these noblemen lived here. Small mansions in empire style, wooden houses surrounded by gardens, but practically no shops.
The origin of the word Arbat is a mystery. Maybe it comes from the word arba -cart and maybe from the arabic word rabat -suburbs.
The street starts from the Arbat square. There is a cinema theatre Khudogestvenniy here - one of the oldest cinemas in Russia. It was opened in 1909 and then rebuilt by architect Shekhtel.
Arbatskaya metro station, that faces the square, has a shape of a five pointed star. This building is one of the first symbols of the Moscow metro.
From the end of the 19th century Arbat gets its contemporary look with several floor apartment houses, hotels, restaurants and shops. The names of its owners become popular, Filippov’s bakery, Shustov’s vines, Einem’s sweets.
Merchant Semen Tararikin openes Praga inn. We’ve told about this famous restaurant in our video about Povarskaya street.
Right here Chekov celebrated the premiere of his Seagull, Tolstoy read his novels. Poet Vladimir Mayakovsky liked to go here, when Praga became Мosselprom canteen.
In 1930s-1950 Arbat becomes the main government route. Stalin drives here to Kremlin every day, and the street itself is under the constant supervision of the secret police. Anatoliy Rybakov wrote about this times of arrests and repressions in his book The children of Arbat And here is the house where the action of the novel takes place.
Arbat becomes the first walking street in Moscow and the most popular one only 30 years ago.
Since the times of Perestroika Arbat becomes the centre of spontaneous concerts, actors playing in the street, poets reading their poems, singers, professional and unprofessional performing in a couple of meters of each other. Tents with souvenirs, book markets, painters were at every step of the street.
Last year the authorities banned the informal culture on Arbat, and the music stopped here.
Let's continue our walk- this building in soviet classicism style is the Vakhtangov drama theatre. Its history started in 1913 with the theatre studio, opened by the pupil of Stanislavskiy Yevgeny Vakhtangov. In 1926 the studio became a theater and the theatrical school - today it is the famous Schuka. Its graduates are many well known russian actors and directors.
As I told before from the 19th century some sеveral floor apartment houses appeared on Arbat. This impressive building in neo gothic style was built in 1913 by order of Anna Filatova. It is considered that Bulgakov's Margarita smashed the apartment of Latunski right here.
This 6 floor mansion was built only for 6 months, and in the beginning of the 20th century it was a real skyscraper!
From 1992 the house of Filatova is the Actors house. And it has its symbol: 2 knights on the corner tower on the height of the 4th floor. Not many people look so high to mention these fearsome guardians. But they still lean on their swords and watch the people who walk along Arbat.
And this house was a home of Alexander Pushkin! Opposite the house, which is now a museum, there is a sculpture of the poet and his beautiful wife Natalia Goncharova.
It represents the happiest period in Pushkin's life. Right here the young couple spent their honeymoon after the wedding. Pushkin said that he was absolutely happy at this time, and maybe because of that he didn't write a single line!
Now our walk along Old Arbat is over, but there are so many interesting things that wait ahead!

Tolstoy Park
Address: Parker Rd, Fairhope, AL
A one-room round house was built by Henry Stuart in the 1920s, and was the subject of The Poet of Tolstoy Park by Sonny Brewer.
Henry Stuart was told in 1925 that he had a year to live, so he built this hurricane-proof hut in what was then wasteland, and planned to spend his final days as a hermit. Instead he lived for 18 years, entertained many guests, and eventually died at age 88.
Mosher Castle
Address: 456 Oak Ave, Fairhope, AL 36532
Russian Sea Rescue Pod
Address: 3733A Battleship Pkwy, Spanish Fort, AL
It looks a bit like a cartoon sub, but it's actually an old Russian lifeboat sealed to keep it from foundering in rough seas. Now it sits beached in front of a seafood restaurant.

Самара непарадная - Затерянные во времени. Samara inside out - Lost in time
Самара - удивительно контрастный город. Исторический центр до недавнего времени сохранял исключительно аутентичный колорит. Деревянные резные дома и купеческие особняки вместе со свежим волжским воздухом не давали спутать Самару ни с одним другим городом. Идеальная геометрия старых кварталов помогает оценивать расстояния, направления от Волги и Самарки, с юга на север и с запада на восток. Увы, сегодня исторический центр медленно, но безвозвратно теряется, словно песок сквозь пальцы. И причина тому - человеческий фактор. А между старыми домами растут безликие многоэтажные коробки.
Выпуск 10. Гуляем по улице Маяковского и улице Братьев Коростелёвых. Эти улицы потеряли своё лицо и, словно, затеряны во времени. Между строительных пустырей, современных коробок и советских домов можно найти остатки городской среды 19 века. Редкие деревянные дома выглядят артефактами, где время остановилось. В их окнах отражаются высотные коробки, а окнах последних - деревянная Самара.
Samara is the large city in The Russian Federation. Standing on the Volga river left bank in the middle part of Russia. Samara is a high - contrast town. A big city turns to a small town in center. Its historical center holds exclusive and authentic character. Breathe in the fresh Volga air and look around. There is no city like this.
The blocks of old Samara have the ideal geometry points. It helps to measure the distances and open spaces. It points to driving and walking directions – from south to north, from west to east, from Volga river to Samara river. The growth of the built-up area was created by strict town planning controls. Samara’s buildings are too diverse to be characterized by any particular architectural style. There are no the same buildings in the streets. Woody houses had deep groovy carving windows and doors. Brick and stone buildings had expensive exterior items. But getting cheap home care services today. And now some of the landscape has changing in so a little time.
Episode 10. Walking on Vladimir Mayakovsky street and Korostelyov Brothers street. Time stands still here. Between modern buildings you can see 19th century woddy houses. Lost in time. And just modern reflections in old windows.
