TWO WEEKS IN KOMAROVO.
TWO WEEKS IN KOMAROVO.
AFTER the stuffy car of an electric train the sated sea freshness and
Smells of a pine pine forest air of the well-known housing estate turned
Head. Yes, the elite of Petersburg intelligency knew where to build the
Cosy refuges from city vanity and noise. Not too far from
The darling to heart of Petersburg (hour of driving by an electric train), among the harmonous
Century pines, on a height; on the one hand rocky terraces
Come to the end with sandy coast of gulf of Finland, with another -
The mysterious Pike lake has picturesquely settled down. Many consider,
That Komarovo - the most beautiful place on Karelian isthmus.
Here have chosen silent corners for summer residences the known Petersburg
Scientists, doctors, architects, theatrical figures, musicians and
Composers, writers, high officials. Houses erected
Exclusively wooden that heat was easily breathed also kept.
Roofs of many are decorated by the pointed turrets, facades are finished on
Finnish of manners. After all the isthmus territory was no time
The finnish. And a known summer residence in literary world Korneja
The Chukovsky settled down on farm Kuokkola (in several
Kilometres from Komarovo), become in due course settlement Repino, on
Name of owner Penat, the well-known neighbour Chukovsky on a summer residence,
Painter Ili Repin.
In the summer the most popular and reliable means of transportation
komarovtsev was and there is a bicycle, in the winter - Finnish sanki.
Respectable summer residences have considerably decayed, thickets, somehow
Have retired to the background and have become silent under the impact of years and changes. Stately,
Impressive and their well-known owners have left, as they say, in the world
Other or already on its threshold.
The summer residence of the doctor of medicine is cosy and attractive green colour,
Petersburg professor Uglova in the beginning of street of Rest. Anything on
Its small territory it is not hidden from curious eyes of passers-by.
It is that, probably, and character of the owner - opened.
To the professor of 97 years, but it is vigorous, confidently drives the car.
Thoughtful and slow komarovskih pedestrians and
"Bicyclists" were pressed by variegated bright foreign cars
Owners of new summer residences, basically brick, similar to fortresses.
Near to the underlined simplicity the underlined now adjoins
Comfort. The part of a natural beach on the bank of a gulf has equipped
Modern paid conveniences and entertainments, little shops and
Shashlik houses one of the prospering industrial companies. To jump
15 minutes on a magnificent children's trampoline cost 60 roubles. But a swing
And every possible rocking chairs - are free. Also it is possible to walk as much as necessary
On the rubber reliable pier leaving in the sea on half-kilometre.
On a beach it became pure and not dull.
PLACES under the sun, under pines, on the bank of a gulf suffice all,
Silences and good fortunes - too. More widely, than ever, are opened for
Local houses of creativity having a rest to a door - theatrical figures,
Composers, writers, cinematographers, architects, usual
Rest houses and children's health resorts. Buy the permit - and have a rest on
To possibilities. It is not necessary characteristics from a job place,
Recommendations, protektsy. There is Enough identification card and,
Certainly, money for the permit for any term.
For example, residing at the Rest house and creativity "Komarovo"
Name E.p.korchaginoj-Aleksandrovsky the Union of theatrical figures
The Russian Federation (the full name, and it is short - a WTO Rest house) costs from 220 to
280 roubles a day from the person. With decent three meals a day and
Decent conditions of life.
Has chosen this Rest house casually, having rung round on phone from
Petrozavodsk some boarding houses and hotels near Petersburg.
But there or there were no places till September, or the prices have appeared not on
To pocket. The permit on two weeks in the WTO has got on a place, in
Komarovo. It is more favourable, than through tour agency.
Certainly, the signboard is attractive to the person of creative activity
"The creativity house". Though it is easy to guess, that from the former
Colour of a life komarovskogo STD (WTO) only the signboard also remained.
In a lobby while portraits of founders hang on the places and
Heads of a theatrical society and its Petersburg branch:
Savinoj, Korchaginoj-Aleksandrovsky, JAblochkinoj, Tcherkasov,
JUreva, Tolubeeva. Convenient sofas, armchairs, billiards, mirrors - all
While, as before. Including the polite personnel. But former spirit and
Prosperities already are not present for a long time. The modern successful artistic
Public prefers for rest and "kapustnikov" places are warmer,
More comfortably, more prestigiously. But all the same, happens, runs here
Someone from old guards. Told, that in July, apparently,
Had a rest in Komarovo Ben-Benitsianov with the spouse...
And still not only portraits of masters of a scene remind about
Noble profile of this House. It is enough to look narrowly, to those,
Who slowly walks on accurate paths or it is convenient
It was arranged with the "reading matter", any manuscripts on a small bench.
It is enough to listen to treat kindly the ears of the correct
Petersburg or Moscow Russian speech of older persons,
Having a rest here it is already far not the first year. "Listen, my friend,
How you think, paternal I so have fallen ill in the morning?
Now to me it is better, absolutely well... "- addresses to the
Grey-haired, istonchivshemusja from an old age, but still shchegolevatomu
To the companion the former actress carefully dressed and tinted by a dinner.
And my new local familiar Muscovite, the inveterate theatre-goer
Jeanne Vladimirovna, knows, apparently, about all on light, and all to it
Interestingly: has not passed any excursion "On the literary
To places of Karelian isthmus ", any action from the local
The cultural program, has met all and gives advice
To everyone who here has a rest for the first time...
Habitues from pitertsev come here at various times year, on
Days off or on a week, and even for all summer with children and grandsons.
Fans of mushrooms and berries spend all the day long in pine to a pine forest
Nearby, do stocks. In August some balconies
"The sleeping case" are covered by garlands drying borovichkov,
Butter, aspen mushrooms.
To fans of long pedestrian walks on the smooth asphalted
To roads from which in any second it is possible to curtail into the never-ending
The solar pine pine forest and to go along road, not being afraid
To lose the way, it is necessary to go in Komarovo. The longest street, Big
The prospectus, lasts nearly to Zelenogorska on the one hand and to
Repino with another. The walking highway second for length passes
From the settlement centre, by the Memorial cemetery, to the Pike lake.
It is five-kilometre street Lake. To go on it it is completely not boring:
That a mushroom you will find on a roadside the fox on road will jump out
Jumping from a branch on a branch, from a tree on a tree brisk belochki
Will draw attention...
HALFWAY I turn off to the left, on the Memorial cemetery, to
Anna Andreevny Ahmatovoj's to tomb and many other things. There, where
You think about eternal and transitory. For example, about strangenesses of the phenomenon,
Named by "glory". Such as at Ahmatovoj, you will not buy and not
You will remove, as a summer residence. For any money.
Country house in which she lived and wrote, accepted friends and
Acquaintances, very modest.
The brilliant mistress carried it to the category of people "without
Life ". To become famous, to it was to be born enough and
To write verses: "as the Wormwood bread the stranger smells...". Or such lines,
Born in Komarovo:
Here all me will go through,
Everything, even shabby skvoreshni.
And this air, air vernal,
The sea, made flight.
Ahmatovu quote, with it admire. All it, frankly, without
prikras - in the poetry. A tomb "Russian Safo" on Memorial
Cemetery in Komarovo come to see hundred thousand admirers and those who not
Read Ahmatovu, but naslyshan about its drama destiny. Against
Rich marble monuments the tomb of the poet shocks with the
Simplicity: a high wooden cross and the low limy
"Western wall" with a stamping profile on a bas-relief. Here always
Many fresh colours.
It is said that in Komarovo often happens Bell Akhmadullina,
Leaves perfect bouquets on Anna Ahmatovoj's tomb. Though from
Moscow to Peter - not a hand a tax.
Nearby recently - and too it is modest - the prisoner is buried "
Conscience "- academician Dmitry Sergeevich Lihachev as whom consider
One of few true carriers and judges of the Russian
Cultures.
COUNTRY biography Komarovo from giving of its experts is fascinating,
As the historical novel.
Traces of former beauty are stored by an old-old summer residence of the well-known
French jeweller Charles Faberge, century after a century losing the
Owners. A graceful wooden structure not at once you will make out in
Wildish wood thickets, on the bottom terrace of settlement, in thirty
Steps from gulf of Finland. In this ancient, decayed dwelling
Any people have located: whether live in him, whether have a rest...
Heard, that in Komarovo - summer residences of the present mayor of Petersburg
Vladimir Jakovleva and former mayor Anatoly Sobchaka?
In SEVERAL steps from the House of creativity of the WTO it is built
Horse-racing complex. Last days August arenas and
Stables, and their equestrians prepared thoroughbred inhabitants of a complex
To the international horse competitions on which it was possible
To visit. On trainings - too. To admire caracoling and dancing
Horse on a nickname Pride or the Fugitive which allow you
Close to consider, caress, treat - one more pleasure,
Which can be afforded in Komarovo.
