In search of the so-called spiritual bonds, the mission of Russia, perhaps, even the meaning of its own life, a person studies... searches. As the Gospel said: "Seek, and ye shall find"!
After the Patriotic War of 1812, the Russian Empire was at a crossroads. The movement towards universal freedom, constitution, republic, and the imitation of Europe was supported by the so-called Westerners. The Slavophils supported Russia's special mission, its centuries-old culture, and the power of the monarchy.
The last 150 years have shown the results of our state's movement along the first path. Did this path lead to prosperity? Judge for yourself!
Now, let us see what Alexei Stepanovich Khomyakov, one of the brightest representatives of the Slavophils, left us, the lost descendants!
Where can we find his tracks?
Khomyakov's Manor in Bogucharovo will open its doors to you at the beginning of your search. You will learn the history of the great representative of the Tula nobility, a participant in the Russian-Turkish war, a philosopher, a writer, and a friend of N.V. Gogol.
Khomyakov's Museum-Manor is located at the address: Oktyabrsky Settlement, Tula Region. Half of the manor is a residential building. Only in the '90s, it becomes possible to regain the premises for an exhibition dedicated to the former owner of the house.
Special attention should be paid to the Church of the Presentation of the Lord with columns and ...a bell tower that has no analogs in Russia, which is a copy of the Campanella of the St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice! The neighborhood of the surrounding decoration of the manor with this object is amazing... however, better look at it for yourself! The bell tower in the photo looks amazing.
The Khomyakov's Manor in Tula Region is a wonderful tourist destination, recommended to everyone! The Khomyakov Home festival is held here every year, to which we are happy to invite you. Look for the address on the map and come as soon as possible! The Khomyakov's Manor is open!
