Историческая справка
Behind a heavy grape cover there is a door with a horse bell which leads to the studio of Yuri Rost, a Russian journalist, photographer, actor, traveler. He himself calls it “The Stable”. In the 19th century, the merchant family of tea traders Botkins kept its horses there.
Outside the house Yuri Rost together with his friend Ivan Dukhin built a small garden with grapes and apple trees. Ivan Dukhin worked as a roofer in a local housing bureau. He also was one of the best specialists in Russian bells, a restorer of icons, a collector and just a widely educated person. He restored a lot of ancient bells and icons for churches and monasteries all around Russia.
Famous actors, film directors, writers, artists, journalists often come to Rost’s studio. Once it was visited by the former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev.
Gorbachev was having a long conversation with Ivan Dukhin about the history of Russia and Moscow when they were noticed: “You are like Lenin and the stove-maker from the famous poem.” “Yes, but it’s not known who of us is Lenin and who is the stove-maker,” answered Gorbachev.
Ivan Dukhin died in 2005 while he was working on a roof. In honor of his good friend Yuri Rost named his garden - Dukhin Garden.
