Историческая справка
The exact place where Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was born was unknown for a long time. As early as in 1821 literary critic Nikolay Grech wrote in a textbook of contemporary literature that young poet Pushkin had been born in Saint Petersburg. Pushkin himself told that he had been born on Bolshaya Molchanovka Street near Arbat. He remembered that house from his childhood, but in fact the Pushkins had moved twelve times between 1798 and 1812. Many years later, in 1879 a seminary student found a record in Bogoyavlenskiy (Elokhovskiy) cathedral parish register. The record told that Major Sergiy Lvovich Pushkin living at collegiate registrar Ivan Skvortsov’s house had a son Alexander born to him. But where did Ivan Skvortsov live in 1799? Local historians solved this task (at least they thought so) and mounted a memorial plaque on Countess Ekaterina Golovkina’s mansion on Baumanskaya Ulitsa (now house 53, bldg. 4). But they were wrong: Skvortsov had managed this house but had not lived there. In 1927 the mistake was corrected and the plaque was remounted on house 42 on the same street. The house was demolished and the new plaque was mounted on the school constructed at the same place. But this was also the wrong place. Skvortsov bought that house after Pushkin’s birth. Only in 1980 the true place was found. The lot was situated on the corner of Khapilovskaya Ulitsa (nowadays Malaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa) and Gospitalny Pereulok. There were two houses one of which the Pushkins rented. The closest existing building is Malaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa 4. Nevertheless the plaque still hangs near the school entrance. // Golovkina's mansion in 1880. To the right of “ПАРИКМАХЕРЪ” shopsign you may find the first memorial plaque
