Kazan – Yelabuga

The city of Yelabuga is a small old town situated on the right bank of the Kama River, 215 km from Kazan. It is very green and beautiful with a lot of churches, ancient stonemade rich houses; Yelabuga is a great example of the merchant architecture preserving the comfort and charm of the old merchant city of the XIX century. The name of the famous Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva is closely connected with this city. She was evacuated here in August 1941. She lived here for only 11 days. On December 31 she committed suicide unable to put up with the circumstances of her life. There is a culture centre named after Tsvetaeva situated here.

Another outstanding person connected with the city of Yelabuga is famous Landscape- painter Ivan Shishkin. He was born and spent all his childhood and youth here. The Shishkin Museum in Yelabuga consists of a house museum, an art gallery and a monument that are located in the most picturesque place of the city – Naberezhnaya Street. One of the painter’s largest collections is represented in the art gallery.

The museum of Natalia Durovova, the legendary «trooper-girl» who lived in Yelabuga for more than 30 years gives us the ideas about the history of the place. She was a writer and the hero of the Great Patriotic War of 1812; she was awarded with Kutuzov’s medal. The Museum of Durova is established in the house where she lived the last years of her life. We can find out about the life of the famous woman, we can see the military forms and the weapon of that time. And of course correspondence between Durova and Alexander Pushkin is especially interesting.
