Последняя квартира А.С.Пушкина | страница 5

Two weeks after the death of Pushkin his belongings and books were taken out of the apartment on the Moika quay and his family left St. Petersburg. New people moved in. A year later they celebrated here the wedding of the daughter of Benkendorf, the Chief of the Gendarmerie Corps. At the beginning of the 20th century the apartment on the Moika quay was assigned for stationing the Secret Political Police department.

It is after the October Revolution that in the house on the Moika quay amidst its frequently changed interior walls Pushkin's last apartment came back into existence, reviving the atmosphere which had reigned here in his living time nearly a century ago. After so many years of absence his belongings were returning home. Now the rooms in the apartment on the Moika quay have assumed their former appearance to remain for the coming generations an original memorial of Pushkin where every visitor would feel an eye-witness and a contemporary of the poet's last living days.
