Where is the city of Komarovo? What to see in Komarovo: dachas of famous people, a museum and a necropolis. Song about Komarovo: interesting facts

Komarovo(until 1948 - Kellomäki, from Finnish Kellomäki - bell slide) - a village in Russia, an intracity municipal formation consisting of Kurortny district federal city of St. Petersburg.

The Academic Town includes Academician Komarova Street, three Kurortny Lanes, and Academician Street, located along Kurortnaya Street from the city of Zelenogorsk. Many famous figures of science and art lived in the Academic Town.

There was also the Writers' Town in Komarov - part of Komarov towards the Gulf from railway, closer to Repin, where members of the Writers' Union were given plots allocated to the Literary Fund for construction. During the construction of the children's neurological sanatorium "Komarovo", part of the dachas along with the forest were demolished.

Story

Like most villages located on the Karelian Isthmus near the railway, Kellomäki developed rapidly at the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the dacha boom. The railway platform was opened here in 1901, and in 1903 it was transformed into Kellomäki station, which was inaugurated on May 1. This day is considered the birthday of the village of Komarovo. Before the arrival of the railroad, this area was completely uninhabited. It was then called “Hirvisuo”, which means “Elk Swamp” located nearby. Nearby there was a hill where a bell was hung between the pine trees, the ringing of which called the workers to dinner. The builders nicknamed this place “Bell Hill”, in Finnish - “Kellomäki”. By 1916, there were already about 800 dachas in the village. The layout of the plots was drawn up in advance, which excluded chaotic development. According to the 1916 census[ source not specified 90 days], 10,000 Russian-speaking people of various nationalities lived on the territory of the village: Karelian-Finns, Ingrian Finns, Russians and others. Streets received Russian-language names. Among famous people who vacationed in Kellomäki before the revolution were Matilda Kshesinskaya, Carl Faberge, Georges Bormann, Gabriel Baranovsky. At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a theater called the Ritz, where visiting theater troupes gave performances. In the village in 1908-1917. there was a Holy Spiritual Orthodox Church, which was destroyed by fire.

In 1913, the famous Russian battle painter, draftsman, master of reportage drawing and Kellomyaki summer resident Vladimirov, Ivan Alekseevich, by order of the Kellomyaki fire brigade, of which he was a member, drew a map of the Kellomyaki dacha village with an alphabetical list of dacha owners. The names of the people who lived here are preserved on the map. The granddaughter of the artist Batorevich, Natalia Igorevna, preserved the original map and the artist’s family archive.

The famous speech therapist Augustin Karlovich Reiche founded a “sanatorium for stutterers” in Kellomäki.

Since 1909, a two-story red brick Russian four-year school for 300 students operated in the village, which after the murder of P. A. Stolypin was named after him. Later (in 1920-1939) this building housed a special sapper company of the former Kexholm regiment. A Finnish folk school was also opened in 1917. There was a voluntary fire brigade in the village for which there was a fire station on Peterburgskaya Street, which had premises for an amateur theater that gave performances in the summer. The extensive garden planted by Zering was famous, where apple, pear, and plum trees grew. Next to the garden was the Orthodox Church of the Holy Spirit (architect N.N. Nikonov). Among the enterprises were a timber exchange and the Hallenberg factory, founded in 1903, which produced peat litter. Peat was mined in two nearby swamps, one of which was called the “Factory Swamp” (Tehtaansuo). The plant had a sawmill and a mill. There were two weaving workshops in the village, one of which was founded by Otto Auer, who for many years was the Consul General of Finland in Leningrad, but lived in Kellomäki.

In 1914, a small station called Kanerva (heather) was built between the Kellomäki and Kuokkala stations. When the number of summer residents sharply decreased, the stop was closed.

After the declaration of independence of Finland, the development of holiday villages on the Karelian Isthmus slowed down. By the beginning of the Soviet-Finnish War of 1939, 167 families were permanently living in Kellomäki. In the 1920s, the property of former Russian owners who left their homes was sold at auction; many dachas were dismantled and transported to other areas of Finland. About 800 dachas were left without owners, almost 600 of them were sold, 200 buildings were transported to Järvenpää (near Helsinki). Academician I.P. Pavlov, Russia’s first Nobel laureate, continued to live in the village in Popov’s mansion. He settled here from 1922 to 1936.

After Civil War In 1918, a regiment transferred from Kexholm was stationed in Kellomäki. In 1920, it was disbanded and the 1st Scooter Battalion was founded in its place, which was then renamed the 1st Jaeger Battalion and was stationed in Terijoki. After this, the former Russian school in Kellomäki housed a special Sapper Company until the outbreak of the Winter War.

Until 1939, the village of Kellomyaki was part of the Terijoki volost of the Vyborg province. The civilian population of the village was completely evacuated by the Finnish authorities for security reasons during the period of aggravation of relations with the USSR in October 1939.

In the spring of 1940, the village of Kellomyaki received the first Soviet settlers from Leningrad.

In 1941, with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet population left Kellomäki. From September 1941 to early June 1944, units of the 10th Infantry Division of the Finnish Army were stationed in the area of the village. There was also a secret battery of Durlyakher’s long-range guns, which was intended “for firing at the forts of Kronstadt,” but did not take any serious part in the hostilities. On June 10, 1944, units of the 109th Infantry Division under the command of Major General N.A. Trushkin occupied Kellomäki. At the end of the war, the village of Kellomäki again received Soviet settlers.

On the territory of the village there is a monument to the Cultural and Historical Heritage of the Kurortny District of St. Petersburg - a mass grave of soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War, Leningradskaya St., 9.

Under the name "Komarovo"

On October 14, 1945, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR adopted a resolution “On the construction of dachas for full members of the USSR Academy of Sciences.” A site was allocated to the west of the railway station, on which it was ordered to build 25 dachas and transfer them “free of charge into personal ownership” to members of the Academy of Sciences. One of the dachas was intended for the President of the USSR Academy of Sciences, botanist V.L. Komarov, who died on December 5, 1945 (buried in Moscow). This fact was probably taken into account, and during the campaign for a total renaming settlements Karelian Isthmus[ source not specified 1285 days], which unfolded in 1948, the village was renamed in honor of Komarov.

During the Soviet years, Dmitry Shostakovich, Anna Akhmatova, president of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences Nikolai Anichkov, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, rector of Leningrad State University Kirill Kondratyev, People's Artist of the USSR Nikolai Cherkasov, composer Vasily Solovyov-Sedoy, many academicians of the USSR Academy of Sciences, science fiction writers Ivan Efremov, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, writer and film screenwriter Yuri German with his son Alexei, a future film director, and then Evgeny Schwartz rested at the dacha at Morskaya 20.

In Komarov there is a cemetery, the basis of which is the Komarovsky necropolis. This cemetery has become world famous; the following people are buried there:

Nathan Altman - artist
Anna Akhmatova - poet
Veniamin Basner - composer
Natalya Bekhtereva - neurophysiologist
Gennady Gor - writer
Ivan Efremov - science fiction writer, paleontologist
Andrey Krasko - Russian actor
Sergey Kuryokhin - composer, leader of the musical group “Pop Mechanics”
Dmitry Likhachev - philologist, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences
Vera Panova - writer
Victor Reznikov - composer
Yuri Rytkheu - writer
Mikhail Somov - scientist
Viktor Tregubovich - film director
Joseph Kheifits - film director

and other figures of culture, science, art (see those buried at the Komarovskoye cemetery).

Shchuchye Lake is located three kilometers from Komarov.

On the territory of the village near the bay there is a natural monument, the Komarovsky Coast.

The dacha, located at 15 Bolshoy Prospekt on the territory of the children's neurological clinic (60° N, 30° E) (formerly the dacha of General Voronin, estimated date of construction 1900, wooden), is a monument of cultural and historical heritage regional level of protection based on the decision of the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council dated December 5, 1988 No. 963.

In Komarov there is the residence of the Governor of St. Petersburg (Morskaya St. 14), which is a monument of federal significance. The territory of this dacha also included the former dacha of the Russian and Soviet artist Ivan Vladimirov, who lived there since 1910.

Residents communicate with each other quite formally. Here is how Daniil Aleksandrovich Granin describes his visit to the dacha of academician Ioffe Abram Fedorovich:

One day Danin, Daniil Semyonovich, came from Moscow and begged me to go to Abram Fedorovich. It seems that Danin was then working on a book, “The Inevitabilities of a Strange World,” about the history of atomic discoveries. It was in Komarov. I made an agreement through Lazarus Stilbans, one of Joffe’s favorite students. And we went to his dacha, where I had already been. The whole evening Abram Fedorovich talked about his meetings with Rutherford, Bohr, Einstein - it was all so interesting that we sat down in the dining room and did not get up, we hardly saw the plot and the dacha... One should not think that Abram Fedorovich’s Komarov life was so boring. On one of my visits, he showed us a fox and fox cubs living on his property. This family has established some kind of relationship with the academician’s family.

There Granin gives a description of the nature of Komarovo:

When in the 50-60s we began to spend the summer months in Komarov, these places were full of animals. There were foxes and hares. A lynx lived not far from our dacha. Sasha Yashin and I went to the capercaillie current. In the morning the bird noise did not let me sleep. On our site, woodpeckers were knocking, squirrels were scurrying around, they were running funny along the picket fences. A whole flock of jays has settled in. Tits made nests under the roof. Since then, year after year, forest life has thinned out. Somewhere the living creatures began to disappear. Now the forest is completely empty. He wasn't knocked out. He still comes close to the dacha, but it is empty. No birds, no squirrels, he is quiet and silent. Blueberries, mushrooms, lingonberries grow, everything seemed to be in order, only the dull desert separates this dacha area from the Karelian forests. Too many people, too many cars, too much music. The forests have lost their voices and inhabitants.

IN last years village, famous memorable places(Komarovsky Necropolis, dachas of the Literary Fund, including Anna Akhmatova’s dacha, Chizhovsky park with a cascade system of ponds (Villa Reno), Finnish farm late XIX century), was subjected to chaotic development. To preserve the historical value of the village, local residents and the deputies sent an appeal to the governor of St. Petersburg with a request to grant the village the status of “remarkable”, since it will help “preserve in unity all this diversity of cultural and natural manifestations.”

Komarovo in art

Komarovo became known throughout former USSR in the 1980s thanks to the song of the same name by Igor Nikolaev and Mikhail Tanich performed by Igor Sklyar.

For a week, until the second
I'll go to Komarovo

But neither the real rocks nor the abyss that are sung about in the song are here.

Immediately after the war, until her transfer to Moscow, G.S. Ulanova often came to Komarovo, where she lived on the corner of 2nd Dachnaya and Kosaya. As before, the village remains a summer cottage for prominent figures in art, science, literature, cinema, etc. The “First Mathematician” L.D. Faddeev lives in the village.

Natalia Galkina’s novel “Villa Reno,” published in St. Petersburg in 2003, attracted widespread attention to the village. The fantastic plot of this work takes place in Komarovo.

The afterword to this book says:

...now in the context of the mythology ... of the fantastic Petersburg of Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bely - the novel “Villa Reno” with the theme of the Karelian Isthmus, continuing the traditions of classical Russian literature, enters.

Here the Strugatsky brothers came up with their “Zone” - a kind of mirror that shows a person his true face. Here Daniil Granin wrote the novel “Picture” about the moral problems of life.

Joseph Brodsky in Komarovo St. Petersburg

August 7, 1961- in the “Booth” in Komarov, Rein E. B. introduces Brodsky to A. A. Akhmatova.

Early October 1961- went to Anna Akhmatova in Komarovo together with his friend Sergei Shultz (later a writer and historian of St. Petersburg).

June 24, 1962- on Akhmatova’s birthday he wrote two poems “A. A. Akhmatova” (“The roosters will crow and crow…”) from where she took the epigraph “You will write about us diagonally” for the poem “The Last Rose”, as well as “Behind the churches, gardens, theaters...” and the letter. Published in: About Anna Akhmatova: Poems, essays, memoirs, letters, ed. M. M. Kralin (L.: Lenizdat; 1990, pp. 39-97). In the same year he dedicated other poems to Akhmatova. Morning mail for Akhmatova from the city of Sestroretsk (“In the bushes of immortal Finland...”).

Autumn and winter 1962-1963- Brodsky lives in Komarov, at the dacha of the famous biologist R.L. Berg, where he works on the cycle “Songs of a Happy Winter.” Close communication with Akhmatova.

In conversations with her, simply by drinking tea or, say, vodka with her, you quickly become a Christian - a person in the Christian sense of the word - than by reading relevant texts or going to church. The role of the poet in society comes down to this to a large extent.

Meeting Academician V. M. Zhirmunsky

For two days he sat opposite me on the chair on which you are now sitting... After all, our efforts are not without reason - where has this been seen, where has this been heard?, so that a criminal can be released from exile for a few days to stay in hometown?.. Inseparable from his former lady. Very good-looking. You can fall in love! Slender, ruddy, skin like a five-year-old girl... But, of course, he won’t survive this winter in exile. Heart disease is no joke. (L. Chukovskaya, Notes…., p. 279)

Brodsky and Mikhail Ardov spent a long time looking for a place for Akhmatova’s grave, first in the cemetery in Pavlovsk at the request of Irina Punina, then in Komarov on their own initiative.

She just taught us a lot. Humility, for example. I think... that in many ways I owe my best human qualities to her. If not for her, it would have taken them longer to develop, if they had appeared at all.

“For a week, until the second…” - in the 80s, the entire Soviet Union sang this simple song in unison, dreaming of rushing off “on the Sunday train” to Komarovo. We will tell you about the sights and history of the resort village in this article.

Komarovo - where is it?

Komarovo (Kellomäki - until 1948) - small resort village, located on the shore of Zelenogradskaya Bay Gulf of Finland. Today it is home to about 1,300 people. Administratively, the village is part of the city of St. Petersburg.

The attractions of Komarovo are, first of all, the sea, clean air, mild climate and pine forests. Thanks to these natural factors a large one formed here sanatorium-resort complex. The first sanatorium in Komarovo appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. Today there is a rehabilitation boarding house, a sports camp, a neurological sanatorium and several recreation centers.

How to get to Komarovo this resort village can be seen by driving along the Primorskoye Highway. The distance from the city of St. Petersburg to the village is approximately 40 km. You can get here by bus No. 211 (from the Chernaya Rechka metro station) or by train, which departs from Finlyandsky Station.

History of the resort village

The history of Komarovo hardly dates back a century and a half. Until the end of the century before last, life here flowed sluggishly and monotonously. But everything changed dramatically after the construction of the railway. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, wealthy St. Petersburg residents began to actively develop the picturesque shores of the Gulf of Finland, building respectable villas and dachas here. Many of them have survived to this day and are important attractions of Komarovo.

Initially, the village was named Kellomäki (translated from Finnish as “Bell Mountain”). According to legend, there really was a huge bell here, with the help of which workers were called to the construction of the railway station. The current name has absolutely nothing to do with mosquitoes, although there are plenty of them here (especially in early summer). The village was renamed in honor of Vladimir Komarov, a famous Soviet botanist and president of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

In the mid-twentieth century, prominent scientists and cultural figures began to move to Komarovo big country- musicians, writers, poets, painters and performers. Very soon the village received the unofficial status of “elite”. IN different time Anna Akhmatova, Joseph Brodsky, Ivan Shostakovich and other prominent representatives of the creative intelligentsia lived here.

Song about Komarovo: interesting facts

In the mid-80s, a song about Komarovo performed by theater and film actor Igor Sklyar was incredibly popular. Even despite its simple text, it instantly became a cult song. It was sung with a guitar in courtyards and at various official events; the song was played on the radio almost every day.

The authors of this composition are considered to be Mikhail Tanich and Igor Nikolaev. As Igor Sklyar recalled, the song was born spontaneously, during another creative feast. Igor Nikolaev sat down at the dusty piano and said: “Now I’ll write you a song!” And he played one of his unpublished hits...

It is curious that the song mentions both rocks and sand dunes, and treacherous abysses. Although there is none of this in Komarovo.

The main attractions of Komarovo (St. Petersburg): list of objects

People go to Komarovo primarily to relax. But between swimming in the sea and sunbathing, you can also visit local attractions. Unfortunately, there are no museums or theaters in Komarovo. But there are several other interesting objects - natural, historical, cultural and architectural.

Komarovsky necropolis

The village cemetery is the main attraction of Komarovo, listed World Heritage UNESCO (No. 540-027). It is located on Ozernaya Street, between the railway platform and Pike Lake.

Starting from the mid-twentieth century, prominent scientists, writers and other artists began to be buried at the Komarovskoye cemetery. Thus, here are the graves of the poetess Anna Akhmatova, the artist Nathan Altman, the writer Ivan Efremov, and the oceanographer and geographer Viktor Sochava.

The most visited grave in Komarovo is Anna Akhmatova. The son of the poetess personally collected stones on the shore of the bay and built a wall here. It symbolizes the impregnable walls of the “Crosses” - the St. Petersburg prison, under which Akhmatova repeatedly brought parcels to Gumilyov. Originally there was a hole in the wall - a stylized prison window. But later it was covered with a bas-relief with a portrait of the poetess.

"Booth" by Akhmatova

The tiny wooden house in Komarovo was given to Anna Akhmatova by the Literary Fund in 1955. The poetess herself nicknamed it “the booth” for its cramped space and small size. Nevertheless, he attracted the entire creative intelligentsia of St. Petersburg. Faina Ranevskaya, Mark Ermler, Alexander Prokofiev, and Nathan Altman often visited Budka. Akhmatova was often visited by the young poet Joseph Brodsky.

In 2004, the house of the famous poetess was restored. Since then, a literary and musical festival has been held annually near the "Booth". open air, dedicated to the memory of Anna Akhmatova.

Shchuchye Lake and Komarovsky Coast

Among the attractions of Komarovo are several natural sites located in the vicinity of the resort village. Among them are the Komarovsky Coast nature reserve, Shchuchye Lake and the Lammin-Suo swamp.

Pike Lake is located two kilometers north of the village. Its area is small - only 53 hectares. It is known that the game obtained here was supplied to the royal court of Stockholm for a long time. Previously, the lake was very rich in fish: roach, trout and pike were found here (hence the name).

The Komarovsky Bereg reserve is located along Primorskoye Highway, between Morskaya and Sportivnaya streets. It was created to protect coastal spruce-sand landscapes. This is one of the few undeveloped areas on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. The flora of the reserve is represented by 400 plant species, 22 of which are rare.

Wooden villas and sculptures of the village

Several beautiful wooden buildings from the first half of the 20th century have been preserved in Komarovo. Among them, it is worth highlighting the dacha of General Voronin (now a neurological clinic), built in No less attractive are the openwork villa Yukhnevich or the modest dacha of the composer Klyuzner.

Another interesting thing about the village of Komarovo is its original sculptures. So, on one of the beaches sits a bronze “Little Mermaid”. The monument is an exact copy of the famous Danish sculpture. The Komarovskaya mermaid is as sad as her “sister” from distant Copenhagen. But in the park near the Russian Fishing restaurant you can see funny sculptures of avid fishermen. The faces of these guys are satisfied and happy. And this is not surprising when you look at the size of their catch!

Sights of Repino (Komarovo): reviews and descriptions

If you went to Komarovo in your personal car, it’s worth stopping by Repino for at least an hour to visit the Penaty Museum. It was in this estate that the great Russian artist Ilya Repin lived for about 30 years. These were the last years of his life. The estate building itself, its interiors, as well as the park with the artist’s grave are perfectly preserved.

Do it in one day: guide to the village of Komarovo

A week before the second one, I’ll go to Komarovo... But even in one day you can do a lot. We tell you which famous dachas in Komarovo are worth a visit, why you should take mosquito spray with you, and who Brodsky called the local “tramp queen.”

The village of Komarovo, and in the past - Kellomäki, although located 44 kilometers from St. Petersburg, is still part of it, as it is part of the Resort district of the city. The village received its name in 1948 in memory of V.L. Komarov, President of the USSR Academy of Sciences. After all, in the 40-50s, dachas were built here and handed over to members of the Academy of Sciences.

However, now another name for the village is popular - Mosquitoes. Explanations are unnecessary: bloodsuckers are visible and invisible here.

How to get there:

Train: to the Komarovo station from the Finlyandsky station (travel time 55 minutes) or from the Udelnaya railway station (travel time 40 minutes).

Bus: from metro station Black River"bus No. 211 (travel time - 1 hour 20 minutes).

Route taxi: K-400 from Finland Station, K-305 from Staraya Derevnya and K-680 from Prospekt-Prosveshcheniya (travel time - about an hour).

What to see:

In Komarovo there are dachas of the Literary Fund and theatrical figures, preserved from those times, although they have fallen into disrepair for the most part.

We advise you to definitely include in your route where representatives of the Leningrad intelligentsia are buried, including: Anna Akhmatova, Ivan Efremov, Vsevolod Azarov, Irina Zarubina, Dmitry Likhachev and other figures of art and science.

By the way, Anna Akhmatova spent the end of her life in the village of Komarovo in a tiny house received from the Literary Fund, as the poetess herself called her home. Interestingly, nearby are the dachas of critics who at one time got rich from persecuting Anna Andreevna. In Komarovo, Akhmatova was visited by Lydia Ginzburg, Faina Ranevskaya, and Lydia Chukovskaya.

Brodsky, Rein, Naiman and Bobyshev were also frequent guests in the “booth of the tramp queen” - as Akhmatova was called for her regal bearing and constant change of residence.

Now two families of writers live in Akhmatova’s house, completely unrelated to the poetess. At one time there was talk about creating an Akhmatova Museum here, but the director of the Akhmatova Museum in the Fountain House replied that “this does not seem appropriate, since it would require significant financial costs to ensure security, fire and anti-terrorism security” (Kommersant, 02/28/2005).

It is also worth a look, the exhibition of which will introduce you to three periods in the history of the village, namely: the Silver Age, the Finnish emigrant period, and Soviet times.

"Look with a weary eye at the Baltic wave"

By the way, it is one of the most popular on the entire coast of the Resort area. There is parking, changing cabins, a children's playground, and several cafes. But Rospotrebnadzor does not recommend swimming here: the chemical indicators here do not meet the norm. And sunbathing - please, it’s not for nothing that in the 50s the phrase “Morning in Komarov” was popular in local folklore, meaning the tan of summer residents-intellectuals.

Last year, the first one opened in Komarovo, the length of which is about three kilometers and includes wooden decks, benches for rest and information boards. The trail runs through a spruce forest and reaches the shore of the Gulf of Finland. Along the way you can see the famous Komarovsky anthills the size of a man, a littorina ledge and cascades of ponds left over from the landscape park from the last century. Entrance to the trail is from Morskaya Street.

Where to eat:

Mostly all cafes and restaurants are located on the coast. Plus: beautiful view, minus - steep prices. Particularly popular are those with views of the bay and interior in Provence style.

The song of the same name by Igor Sklyar brought unprecedented fame to this small village in the 1980s. However, neither the rocks nor the abyss, which are sung about in the song, are not here.

The residence of the Governor of St. Petersburg is located in the village of Komarovo.

Today Komarovo has almost lost the “academic” appearance it had in the 50s and 60s. Many dachas were passed on to the heirs of famous owners, and in some places modern cottages are already springing up. If you haven't been here yet, you should hurry up.
