История • 👀 Watch city life
The Barsukov Hotel is a historic building in the center of Tver, built in 1760–1770 in the Baroque style under the direction of P. R. Nikitin, with the participation of A. V. Kvasov. The hotel became one of five sections of an ensemble of houses built with a “single facade.”
Alexander Ostrovsky stayed at the Barsukov Hotel. He first came to Tver in 1853. In April 1856 the playwright set off for the upper Volga to gather material about the life of the local people. He took a keen interest in fishing, being a passionate angler himself. Ostrovsky's impressions of his journey through Tver Governorate found their way into “The Storm,” “Without a Dowry,” and “A Lively Spot.” Every town that travelers pass through, Ostrovsky wrote, should have its own “culinary specialty”: “Torzhok is known for Pozharsky cutlets, Valdai for baranki (ring-shaped rolls), and Tver for pryaniki (spiced gingerbread).” You can still buy gingerbread to suit any taste in Tver today.
Ostrovsky won literary fame with the comedy “It's a Family Affair—We'll Settle It Ourselves,” which he first read aloud in Tver.
“Yesterday, after tea, we went to the embankment to look at the Volga. All the best society of Tver was strolling on the embankment. Many pretty female faces, though half of them were painted.”
