Abstract

The article presents previously unknown documents from the State Archives of the Republic of Crimea and the State Archives of the Russian Federation, which make it possible to reconstruct the pre-war history of the A. S. Pushkin Museum in the Gurzuf house of Richelieu, where in 1820 the poet spent almost three weeks with the Raevsky family. The difficult process of arranging the “Pushkin House” and creating a museum exhibition is detailed. In addition, the heroic fate of the talented director of the Pushkin Museum in Gurzuf, Alexander Vasilyevich Pozdnyakov, a member of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) since 1917, who became the commissar of the Alupka extermination battalion (Yalta partisan detachment) in 1941 and died on the Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla in April 1942.
