A resident of the northern capital, amateur historian Dmitry Filatov bought a part of the former communal apartment in the northern capital at 64 Gorokhovaya, where Grigory Novykh, known throughout the world as Rasputin, lived before the revolution. The portal 78.ru informs about it.
The rooms acquired by the pre-revolutionary history enthusiast will house a private museum. Its visitors will be able to see original interiors and personal belongings that belonged to one of the most controversial figures in Russian history of the twentieth century. Dmitry Filatov previously had nothing to do with the museum business - in his own words, he is driven by love for the era and the people who lived at that time - and, of course, sympathy for Rasputin himself. “I, of course, sympathize with this man,” says Dmitry. - He changed the course of history. He was a seer. This person is Russian, Orthodox. Bogomolets, healer. Of course, I have no negative attitude towards him, I have only positive emotions. He gave his life to serve Russia. He was brutally tortured, killed by the extreme right-wing representatives of the then elite. ' Despite the fact that renovations are still underway in the rooms set aside for the museum, access to the historic apartment is already open for visitors. An independent visit to the museum will cost 350 rubles, as part of a group with a guide - 500 rubles per person. In addition, the apartment can be rented for filming or for lectures - the official website of the Rasputin Museum reports. Religious events are also held here - in particular, a memorial service is performed on the day of Rasputin's death on December 30. There is no shortage of people willing to pray for him: to this day, many consider Gregory Novykh, if not a martyr, then at least a spirit-bearing elder who made an unsuccessful but selfless attempt to save Imperial Russia from collapse. To create the exposition, the museum owner consults with professional historians, including such eminent modern researchers as Vyacheslav Fomin and Oleg Platonov, as well as the former curator of the Yusupov Palace Museum Olga Utochkina. Despite the fact that Dmitry Filatov is driven by educational rather than material motives, historian Lev Lurie believes that the project of the museum owner may well achieve commercial success: “It depends on what he comes up with there. I lead the excursion 'Rasputin' in St. Petersburg, and I am not alone. People are interested in this. And it is understandable why it is interesting - it is still a fatal figure in the history of Russia ”. And the former director of the Museum of St. Isaac's Cathedral Nikolai Burkov notes that today in Russia there are many important reappraisals, including those associated with the figure of Rasputin, which “in the public consciousness becomes more and more sacred.
