“New additions to museum collections: Donor - M.N. Bug

M The museum collection is regularly replenished with new exhibits. The priority for the formation of collections remains the search and reconstruction of materials reflecting the events of the late Middle Ages. When compiling, no material is left without attention that directly or indirectly relates to the era of Ivan the Terrible, including the artistic, collective image of the Grozny era, embodied by modern masters, that is of some interest.

Chest from the 15th-16th centuries, made in Eastern Europe

The chest, which entered the museum collection, was made in Eastern Europe in the 15th-16th centuries. In terms of their functional purpose, chests were the main form of medieval furniture for storage. In Russia, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, such chests could have appeared in connection with the arrival of ambassadors, merchants and other guests.
Similar chests are kept in Western European museums (Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Museum of Applied Arts in Cologne, etc.), and are recognized as rarities. Their appearance on the domestic antique market is rather unique.
The chest entered the museum collection from Russian Estate LLC (Moscow).
Engraving "Elizabeth of England" (France, 1570s)

The engraving shows a lifetime portrait of Elizabeth of England, daughter of King Henry VIII Tudor from his marriage to Anne Boleyn. The relationship between Elizabethan England and the Russian Kingdom is quite fully characterized by two aspects: the activities of the Moscow Company and Elizabeth’s personal correspondence with Ivan IV. Engraving “Tsar Ivan IV” from the publication “States, Empires and Principalities of the World” (Holland, Amsterdam. 1621)
The engraving depicting Tsar Ivan the Terrible is a sheet from an illustrated edition in Dutch. On the back of the sheet is a description of Russia. It is interesting that the inscription in Latin along the oval of the portrait reads: “Basily the Great - Prince of Muscovy, Russian Emperor, etc.,” i.e. The name of Ivan IV's father, Vasily III, is named.

Among the new arrivals of ethnographic collections, an unusually colorful collection of folk costume of the 19th century stands out. Each of them reflects the diversity of Russian women's folk costume and bears the features of the area where it was made. When sewing these suits from the Nizhny Novgorod, Tambov, Ryazan, and Vologda provinces, local cotton manufactories were used merchants Baranovs(Karabanovo village), which confirms its wide popularity "Baranovsky" calico in different parts of Russia.

It turned out to be an interesting acquisition baby carriage , woven from wicker 100 years ago. Such wicker strollers were considered a luxury item, they were very rare, and only rich families could afford them. According to family legend, this stroller was custom-made by a local craftsman. In the 19th century in the Alexandrovsky district, weaving as a folk craft was quite widespread.

Recently, the museum collection has been replenished with colorful objects of decorative and applied art, reflecting the life of townspeople in the 19th-20th centuries. Some of them were purchased from private collectors and antique shops: French mantel bronze clock ; mother of pearl theater binoculars ; gift set on the occasion of First Communion, made of expensive materials using sophisticated technology; Obouillette for tea drinking and many others

Luxurious frosted glass cup set Gusevsky Maltsov plant Vladimir province added to the glass collection. Similar products Gusevsky plant were in great demand among wealthy citizens.


Of particular interest are artistic porcelain , family silver And Jewelry famous merchants Zubov, received from a direct descendant of this family of our fellow countryman A.V. Ilyina.

The Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev is hosting an exhibition called "New Arrivals", where the museum introduces its visitors to the objects that have entered its collections over the past decade. During this time, more than 3,500 items were added to his collection. Of course, all the items could not be exhibited in the small hall of the Superior Building, but the staff placed the most valuable and striking works on display.
The presented exhibits can be divided into two categories: actual gifts and works purchased with funds from the Andrei Rublev Museum itself or through the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, at the expense of its budgetary funds. The most striking gift of recent years was the collection of the famous surgeon G.A. Pokrovsky (1925-2008), transferred in 2009 by his widow M.A. Pokrovskaya. The collection received by the Museum is huge, including more than three hundred exhibits. Among them are examples of 16th-century icon painting from the Moscow circle of the Grozny era, monuments of Novgorod origin, as well as many works of jewelry.

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. Second quarter - mid-17th century. Moscow. Salary. Middle - third quarter of the 18th century. Master GHB. Crown. 1842 Moscow. Master I. Lavrov. Wood, tempera; white metal, embossing, gilding, carving, colored flows. From the collection of G.A. Pokrovsky. Dar M.A. Pokrovskaya, 2009. House-museum restoration.


Gleb Aleksandrovich Pokrovsky was born in 1925 and remained a practicing surgeon almost until the end of his days. Since 1958, his collection of icons and decorative arts began to take shape. For many years of friendship, Gleb Alexandrovich connected with the famous artist and collector of church antiquities Pavel Dmitrievich Korin. The assembly was formed in different ways. Some icons of G.A. Pokrovsky acquired a fairly significant number of works as gifts from friends.

Prophet David, from the prophetic rank. 1660-1670s. Yaroslavl. Wood, tempera.
Acquisition from a private person, 2006. House-museum restoration.


The patients he cured, learning about their doctor’s passion, also, as a sign of gratitude, often gave Gleb Aleksandrovich icons that were kept in their families and seemed unnecessary. G.A. Pokrovsky died on March 21, 2008. During his lifetime, he did not have time to dispose of his collection, which he valued very much. At the beginning of 2009, Marfa Andreevna Pokrovskaya, wanting to preserve the memory of her husband and not allow the fruits of his many years of work to dissipate, donated the collection to the Central Museum of Ancient Russian Culture and Art named after Andrei Rublev.

The beautiful pearl of the museum collection is now,created by the best Moscow craftsmen,icon "Our Lady of Vladimir" in a magnificent setting with colored enamel.

Our Lady of Vladimir. Second quarter of the 17th century. Moscow.
Wood, tempera; white metal, enamel, glass, filigree, filigree enamel, champlevé enamel, mount, gilding, colored glass.


Filigree (goes back to Old Russian s'kan, from the verb s'kati "to twist", "to twist several strands into one thread"), filigree is a type of jewelry technique: an openwork or soldered pattern on a metal background made of thin gold, silver or copper wire, smooth or twisted into ropes. Filigree products are often complemented with grain (small silver or gold balls) and enamel.

Fragment. Our Lady of Vladimir. Second quarter of the 17th century.


Champlevé enamel is a technology for applying enamel in which it fills depressions (recesses) made on the surface of the product by engraving, chasing or etching. After firing, the hardened surface of the enamel is ground level with the metal.

Among the famous acquisitions one can note an icon from the prophetic row of the iconostasis with a half-length depiction of the prophet Zechariah from the 1660s-1670s. This is a magnificent monument of Yaroslavl painting, with stylistic features characteristic of this center, which brilliantly combine traditional and innovative trends.

Prophet Zechariah, from the prophetic rank. 1660-1670s. Yaroslavl.

Among the acquisitions in 2014, the icon “Carrying the Cross” from the late 17th - early 18th centuries from the passionate row of the iconostasis attracts attention. The image is based on a Western European engraving dating back to the Merian Bible.

Carrying the Cross, from the passionate order. The end of the 17th - beginning of the 18th century. Moscow (?).
Wood, tempera. Acquisition from a private party, 2014. House-museum restoration.

The appeal to Western iconographic models, the voluminous “life-like” painting of faces, the use of new forms in the painting of clothing, architecture and landscape indicate the icon painter’s familiarity with the works of the masters of the Armory Chamber.

Exaltation of the Cross, from the festive series.
The end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century. Volga region. Wood, tempera. Dar T.V. Zenkova. 2006
Restorer D.A. Shushakov, head L.Yu. Yasnova. 2007 (RAZHVIZ I.Glazunov).

This is an icon from the holiday series, which, according to available information, comes from the village of Mokhnetsy, Tver region. Its oval shape seems rather unusual to us, but for its time it was quite typical. On this icon the image of the face of the saint raising the Cross has been lost. It was not reconstructed during the scientific restoration. This is precisely why scientific restoration differs from church renewal - it does not involve completing the drawing of lost fragments. At the exhibition you will be able to see other icons from this festive series.


Apostle Peter, from the Deesis rank. End of the 18th century. Russian North.
Workshop of I, I, Bogdanov-Karbatovsky (?). Wood, tempera. Acquisition from a private party, 2013. House-museum restoration.


One of the features of the works of the workshop of Bogdanov-Karbatovsky, a native of the city of Onega, Arkhangelsk region, is the appearance on the icons of images of landscapes reminiscent of his native northern places. And the sermon of the Apostle Peter takes place against the backdrop not of palm trees and deserts, but of our northern expanses. Which does not contradict the worldwide preaching of the Savior’s words.

Fragment. Apostle Peter, from the Deesis rank. End of the 18th century. Russian North. Workshop of I, I, Bogdanov-Karbatovsky (?).

This is only a small part of the icons presented at the exhibition, but to see everything you will have to visit the museum. And then you will be able to see icons of various icon-painting centers, Greek signature icons, icons of famous Moscow and St. Petersburg companies in amazing settings. But besides icons, other objects of amazing beauty appeared in the museum’s collections.

Double-leaf folding “He rejoices in you”, “Praise the Lord from heaven” in the frame and ark. Second half of the 16th century. Solvychegodsk (?). Stroganov workshops (?). Bone (mammoth ivory), carving. Frame - silver(?), gilding, engraving, carving. Frame - early 17th century. Ark - first half of the 17th century. Purchase from a private person. year 2014.


Such folding structures became widespread in the 16th century. And they were performed by masters from Moscow and Novgorod. This folding is presumably the work of Moscow craftsmen, who could have worked at the invitation of the Stroganovs in their workshops in Solvychegodsk. Particularly rare is the preservation of a silver frame created approximately at the same time as the plates. Unfortunately, in other similar folds the carved plates have survived to this day mostly without a frame. The folding object was purchased from the descendants of Metropolitan Pitirim of Volokolamsk.


Fragment. Double-leaf folding “He rejoices in you”, “Praise the Lord from heaven” in the frame and ark. Second half of the 16th century.


Another item that amazes with its filigree wood carving is a two-leaf panagia. Carving on hardwoods such as boxwood and cypress has been practiced since ancient times in the monasteries of Palestine, Egypt, and Greece. It is believed that this activity teaches patience and concentration, so necessary in monastic life. In particular, here you can see the sculpture “Jesus in Prison”, which became widespread in the second half of the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries. The appearance of a sculptural image of the suffering Christ is associated with the New Jerusalem Monastery. Since the monastery was created as a copy of the Jerusalem Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the likelihood of this image appearing in the monastery is quite high. Blocks in the form of a board with slots for the Savior’s feet have still been preserved, which apparently suggested a three-dimensional image.

Christ in prison. End of the 18th century. Wood, gesso, mixed media. Purchase from a private person. year 2013.
In the process of restoration. Restorer A.A. Borisov (CMiAR).


By the end of the 18th century, Christ was no longer depicted naked. In temples, coverings were made for statues. In churches, special dungeons were created where the sculpture was placed. And in the flame of a candle through the window one could see the suffering Christ and touch those events with one’s consciousness. After all, compassion sometimes knocks on our hearts.

Before ending up in the collections, objects of museum significance go through a long and complex journey, the main milestones of which are recorded in special documentation. First, they are accepted for temporary storage, at the same time a legend of the item is recorded, which contains information about the origin of the item, its environment, methods of use, as well as about the owner himself. Then the items are examined by the museum’s stock-purchasing commission; sometimes museum workers turn to professional experts for help. And only then, after approval, items are entered into the Integrated Automated Museum Information System and accepted into the main fund. From now on, they become part of the unified Museum Fund of the Russian Federation.

Since January 2017, the funds of the Khakass National Museum of Local Lore named after L. R. Kyzlasov have received 1,167 items, the total number of museum items is now 146 and a half thousand. A large number of items are brought by our regular donors; some items, mainly from art and documentary collections, remain in the museum after exhibitions. The documentary fund, the History of Technology fund, and the archaeological and ethnographic collections are being significantly replenished. Sometimes truly unique items are accepted. For example, Gennady Stepanovich Shadrin donated to the museum an 18th-century Old Believer cross, made according to a 17th-century model. Also in the funds appeared icons of “The Lord Pantocrator”, presumably from the 17th-19th centuries, and “Nicholas the Wonderworker”. The assistant to the military commissar of the Russian Federation, Oleg Pagels, gave the museum German propaganda leaflets in Russian from the period of the Great Patriotic War, and Victor Shcherbina - a copper teapot from the Kolchugin Partnership from the end of the 19th century. Several antique sewing machines appeared in the “History of Technology” fund: Tatyana Vasilievna Shunkova donated a “Gloria” sewing machine from 1895, Natalya Mikhailovna Usynina donated a “Naumann Klass 8” from 1900, Pavel Alekseevich Kharchenko donated a “Gosshweimashina” from the first half of the twentieth century.

Also, the personal collections of famous personalities of the republic in the “Documentary Fund” are constantly replenished. Roman Bainov, the grandson of the Khakass poet Moisei Bainov, donated personal belongings, photographs and documents of his famous grandfather, and his typewriter to the museum. The Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the linear department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Oleg Abramovich Zaitsev, collected, prepared for delivery and handed over about 600 items relating to the life and activities of the political and public figure of Khakassia Alexei Fedorovich Troshkin: personal documents, about 400 photographs, certificates, congratulatory letters, etc. L.G. Ugdyzhekova compiled and handed over personal documents and photographs of the famous teacher Alexei Dmitrievich Kichuk. Tatyana Semenovna Dobrova, the daughter of the first Khakass journalist Semyon Dobrov, brought photographs of Semyon Konstantinovich. In addition, Tatyana Semenovna, being our long-time donor, donated to the museum cameras “Smena” and “Zenith” from the 1970s, “FED” from 1955, “New World” magazines from the 1960s, and the samizdat publication “ Masters and Margaritas" 1973, as well as several examples of beautiful tableware from the 1960s and 70s, including a candy dish, tea pairs and glasses.

Traditionally, a significant replenishment of the art fund occurs after exhibitions. So, after the exhibition “Artists of Khakassia. From sketch to implementation”, the museum’s collections included sketches of theatrical costumes and scenery, dolls made for various performances by artists Maria Maksimenko-Bushmina, Maria Chaptykova, Zulfiya Todykova and Edgard Arutyunov. The art fund is also replenished with exhibitions based on the results of the All-Russian plein airs. After the exhibition “The Great Silk Road” of the Yelabuga State Historical-Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve, paintings and graphic works by artists Ilnur Siraziev, A. Inshakov, Rabis Salyakhov and Mikhail Kuznetsov-Kazansky were donated to the museum. The widow of the artist Konstantin Mamyshev donated 18 paintings to the museum. Viktor Sergeevich Kokov donated to the funds the works of the famous master of decorative and applied arts Nikolai Achitaev: a wooden bow and arrows and a decorative panel; artist Alexander Popov - his own wooden sculpture “Khakass Prince – Warrior Irenek”.

Interesting objects have been added to the ethnographic collection. People's master "Chon Uzy" Valentina Ivanovna Todysheva donated a Khakass fur coat and a handmade carpet made by her. Three Khakass national women's fur coats and a robe were donated by Mayra Tuguzhekova, a resident of the village of Sapogovo, Ust-Abakan region of Khakassia. The national clothes were received by the museum in fairly good condition. The fur coats are made of sheepskin in the traditional Khakass style around the time. XIX - early XX centuries. Elvira Tudoyakova donated traditional Khakass handbags, Valentina Matveeva donated a spindle and a spinning wheel, Anastasia Manturova donated a set of Uzbek national women's clothing and a Tatar skullcap; Olga Dmitrievna Stolyarova - Ukrainian embroidered blouse, Lyubov Illarionovna Kondratyeva - openwork wool shawl from the 1940s.

A significant replenishment occurred in the History of Technology fund. Our regular donor Vladimir Nazarenko donated a Panasonic video recorder, artist Edgard Arutyunov - lens spotlights and lighting equipment for illuminating theater and entertainment venues. Klara Romanovna Kyzlasova, a longtime friend and donor of the museum, “Excellent Health Worker of the USSR”, organizer and head of the obstetric service in Khakassia, donated a stethoscope, which she used in her professional activities. Tatyana Prokopyevna Turusheva donated various technical devices for developing and printing photographs.

Many items end up in the museum’s collections after the liquidation or disbandment of various enterprises. Thus, Nikolai Innokentyevich Korepanov donated tools for making shoes to the Manakovsky factory. Regina Leonidovna Makhrina – confectionery equipment: syringes and nozzles for them. M.P. Shoeva assembled and donated the items for the Khakassian film distribution.

Czech crowns, Armenian dramas, Kazakh tenges, coins from France and the USA, Uzbek and Belarusian banknotes appeared in the numismatic collection.

Large acquisitions during 2017 were in the paleontological and geological collections. Yuri Itekpaev donated fragments of a mammoth skeleton, 38 items in total; local historian Pyotr Nikolaevich Soldatov – the tubular bone of a woolly rhinoceros; Igor Rybkin – mammoth bone; Alexander Sergeevich Kobyakov brought a fragment of petrified wood from the Beysky coal deposit. A permanent donor to the museum, Dmitry Burlai, donated rock samples (rhodusite, pyrite, rugosa, etc.), Tatyana Valerievna Pogodina - mineral samples (glendonite, magnetite, quartz with mica inclusions, etc.).

Many items that are remembered by the older and middle generations are gradually going out of use. Modern children are unlikely to understand how to use, for example, a household siphon for making carbonated water, which was given by Vladimir Vladimirovich Nazarenko. And New Year's toys have significantly changed their appearance; perhaps only in museums can you see glass Christmas tree decorations from the 1970s and 80s, given to us by Natalya Timofeevna Fitina and Tatyana Semyonovna Dobrova. R.L. Makhrina donated candles and matches that were used in the 1970s, Nikolai Innokentyevich Korepanov donated household items from the Soviet period: a glass 5-arm chandelier, wooden clothespins, an iron and a clock; openwork metal cup holders from the 1960s also appeared in the collections.
