Natalja Michajlovna.

Excerpts from a conversation with Natalya Mikhailovna:

“You should have been here in Sep­tem­ber! For two weeks cul­tur­al life takes place with all arts and human­i­ties, then from morn­ing till night we have events, com­pe­ti­tions, per­for­mances and so on. There is prob­a­bly no such huge forum in the whole post-Sovi­et space. In May we also have Volozhin read­ings.
Many peo­ple who stayed here changed their lives. Voloshin was able to help oth­er peo­ple find their way. This was his main mis­sion. Many vis­i­tors to this house were great­ly influ­enced by their stay here, whether weeks or hours.
Voloshin Is a sym­bol of Crimea, but not only Crimea. His house can exist only here, it inscribes itself in this landscape.From one side it stands next to Karadag, the vol­canic moun­tain from Juras­sic times, of which there are only three in the world, on the oth­er side the moun­tain Кучук-Янышар, the por­trait of Voloshin- a huge instal­la­tion of nature — and then here stands this fil­i­gree house, which was the only one that sur­vived next to his mother’s house, every­thing else was dev­as­tat­ed in Koktebel.”
