Историческая справка

After nationalisation, Merchant Lyamin’s dacha became the first Soviet pilot demonstration Forest School under the People’s Commissariat of Education for children with impaired health. The forest air and well-maintained territory also attracted Communist party workers seeking peace and quiet. Thus, one of the rooms on the first floor of the former Lyamin’s dacha was occupied by Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya in the winter of 1919. The visit to Sokolniki of her husband, who concurrently was the leader of the world proletariat, for the children's New Year party is eternalised by a red granite memorial plaque with a bronze bas-relief portrait of Lenin created by sculptor S.Z. Mograchev, by the marble sculpture “Lenin and Children”, and by the book by writer A.T. Kononov “The New Year Celebration in Sokolniki”, based on which a film strip and a multitude of paintings were created.

It is known that Lenin (who was often referred to as “Ilyich”) was about four hours late for the mentioned New Year celebration because in Sokolniki he mistook the gang of Yanka Koshelyok (Yakov Kuznetsov) that was trying to stop him for a Red Army patrol, and himself ordered the driver to slow down the Rolls Royce. According to the recollections of Lenin’s personal driver, the following dialogue took place:
- What's the matter? I am Lenin!
- To hell with you that you are Lenin. And I am Koshelkov, the master of the city by night.
(It is generally accepted that the rag tag Koshelkov did not hear the last name well. The car was taken away, but neither Lenin nor his companions were seriously injured and arrived safely at the celebration, albeit late.)
