Novospasskoe- the family estate of the Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka, in this moment is a memorial museum of the composer.

Geography

The property is located in the southeastern part Smolensk region 22 km south of district center- Yelnya, on the Desna River.

Story

• The original name of the estate is "Shatkovo Wasteland" after the nearby village of Shatkovo. In 1750, it passed into the possession of M. I. Glinka’s grandfather, retired Major Nikolai Alekseevich Glinka. In 1786, a new stone Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built, as well as a wooden house, in which the great Russian composer was later born. The estate Novospasskoe was named after the church "Savior-Preobrazhenskaya".

• The manor house in Novospasskoye was built by the composer's father Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka in 1807-1810 on the site of the previous one. From the transfer inventory, compiled by a member of the Elninsk noble guardianship on June 18, 1860, it is known that it was: “... a wooden two-story house, on a stone foundation, with a corridor, covered with shingles, but dilapidated from time to time, and sheathed with boarding with a porch and 4 balconies, inside covered with paper wallpaper, on the lower floor there are 17 rooms, they have windows with double frames, copper handles, latches and hooks 40<…>, Dutch ovens from simple tiles with all accessories - 16 "

• During Patriotic War 1812 Captain Glinka, together with his family, was forced to leave the estate and temporarily settle in Orel. During this, the peasants who remained in the village courageously resisted the French. They locked themselves in the church from a French detachment and eventually defended it, but the rest of the estate was looted. In 1813, after returning, Ivan Nikolaevich repaired (and, in fact, rebuilt) the manor house.

• After the death of Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka, the estate passed to his younger sister Olga Ivanovna Izmailova. Three years later, Olga Ivanovna died, and the estate went to her husband, who, not wanting to farm, sold it to the merchant Rybakov. Wooden house and part of the outbuildings were dismantled in 1882 and transported to Kolomna, where barracks for the military were built from this material. The estate itself fell into disrepair after that.
• In 1933, the rector of the Novospassky Church, Fyodor (Rafail) Tivanov, was arrested along with his family and taken away in an unknown direction. Also, several activists of the parish with the headman Lisovsky were arrested and taken to the construction of the Moscow-Volga canal. Subsequently, everyone was rehabilitated, the case is in the archives of the Federal Security Service of the Smolensk region. The temple was plundered, local communards stored hay and horses in it. The bells were dropped, the largest one (106 pounds, cast in honor of the victory over the French) was broken. One of the surviving bells is in the museum musical culture them. Glinka, Moscow.

• The rest of the history of the estate belongs to our days. In 1976, by decision of the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR and the Union of Composers, the restoration of a two-story wooden house and the estate itself began. On May 27, 1982, the museum-estate of M. I. Glinka was opened.

• Because of the prevailing Soviet times persecution of the church during the restoration of the estate, the Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya manor church was not restored. Its renovation began only in 1990. AT this moment the church is active, the rector of the church is Archpriest Nikolai Privalov.

Architecture

The architect of the estate is currently unknown. On the first floor of the manor house there were utility rooms, a billiard room, a dining room, a hall, a living room, a sofa room, on the second floor there were bedrooms and a nursery. The ceilings of the rooms were painted by the best Moscow masters.

In front of the balcony of the house, a huge "sloping meadow" opened up a panorama of the banks of the river, the fields and meadows beyond the river.

In addition to the master's house, there were several other buildings in Novospasskoye - two wings built in 1806-1811, the "master's bath", a mill, greenhouses, a fuller, etc. All of them were wooden, and have not survived to this day, like master's house.

Of the stone structures, the first in the estate was the church, which, both in plan and in composition, repeated the type of church in the village of Apolya, built more than thirty years earlier. Comparing these two buildings, one can easily detect a temporary difference, although both of them are designed in the Baroque style. In the 80s XVIII years century, when the church was built in Novospasskoye, the baroque style was completing its heyday in the Russian provinces. The decorative solution of the facades is becoming much more modest, and there is no longer the dynamics of forms that was in the architecture of the Smolensk region in the middle of the century. The semicircular pediments have become much smaller, the windows and the entrance have only ribbon frames.

A special place in the appearance of Novospasskoye is occupied by a huge park covering the entire territory of the estate. It is still unknown who was its creator.

The estate has a very difficult terrain. Despite this, the park artist managed to brilliantly use all the features of this relief. The basis of the park are lindens, elms, maples, oaks and ash trees. Small groups of trees and shrubs alternate with clearings and small lawns planted with flowers. One of the lawns was called "Cupid Meadow" - here among the roses stood a marble statue of Cupid.

During the war, many trees were cut down, and now only about three hundred centuries-old trees have survived in the Novospassky park, among which are nine oaks planted by M. I. Glinka himself. The giant oak, under which Glinka composed the score of Ruslan and Lyudmila, has also been preserved.

The natural boundary of the park was the Desna River. On a small island in the middle of the river, called the "Isle of the Muses", there were pavilions for relaxation. On a nameless stream flowing into the Desna, a cascade of ponds was arranged.

Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka actively participated in the arrangement of the garden. He specially ordered from St. Petersburg, Riga and even from abroad seedlings and bulbs of rare plants and flowers.

M. I. Glinka

The great Russian composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka was born in the Novospasskoye estate on May 20, 1804 (old style).

Here, on his father's estate, Glinka spent 12 years of his childhood, and left it in 1817, when he left to study in St. Petersburg at the Noble Boarding School for Boys.

Glinka was very fond of Novospasskoye. And many years later, he often came to his native places, and the impressions of life in the estate were invariably reflected in his work.

AT last time M. I. Glinka visited Novospasskoye in June 1847.

But his health continued to deteriorate, and Glinka left for Petersburg. And when the composer's mother died in 1851, trips to Novospasskoye lost all meaning for him, and Glinka wrote to his sisters that "he would never come to Novospasskoye without his mother."

Modernity

At the moment, the estate works memorial museum M. I. Glinka. This museum is the first and only museum of the composer. In the five rooms of the house there is an exposition telling about his life and creative activity. The hall, the dining room, the billiard room, the offices of the father and the composer himself, the bird room were restored.

Every year in late May - early June in the Smolensk region is held music Festival named after M. I. Glinka, the completion of which traditionally takes place in Novospasskoye. These days the estate is especially crowded. In 2004, all of Russia celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birth of Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka. Part of the celebrations took place in the composer's family estate.

The Novospasskoye estate is located in the Elninsky district of the Smolensk region. It can be reached on the road from Smolensk past and, further along the road to Roslavl, turn to Pochinok, then there is a deserted, but good road to Yelnya, from where the turn to Novospasskoye is exactly up to which this good road reaches.
The estate is located in a picturesque village, there are a lot of visitors on weekends, there are tourists on buses, on cars not only from Russia, but also from Latvia and Belarus. A local regular bus from Yelnya also goes to Novospasskoye.
Such a road is worth driving to see this amazingly beautiful corner.

At the entrance to the estate, guests are greeted by the Transfiguration Church, which gave the name to the estate - Novospasskoe.

The temple was built in 1781-86. through the efforts of the landowner Nikolai Alekseevich Glinka, the composer's grandfather.

The parents of M.I. got married in this temple. Glinka, and in 1804 the infant Mikhail, the future composer, was baptized.

The temple survived several wars. In 1812, the rector of the church, priest John Stabrovsky, protected the church from being plundered by the French and was awarded by Field Marshal Kutuzov. In 1933, the temple was plundered already on behalf of Soviet power, for resistance to the export of valuables, the priest Fyodor Tivanov and several parishioners were arrested and deported. During the Great Patriotic War, the church had a warehouse of partisan supplies, the bell tower was blown up.

Since 1990, the restoration of the church began, now the rector of the church is Archpriest Nikolai Privalov. Unfortunately, the temple is not open all the time - there are not enough people, so you can only admire the external decoration and the interesting design of the fence with the texts of prayers and images of saints.

Now let's go to the manor. The wasteland of Shatkovo became the property of the Glinka family in the middle of the 18th century. In 1804-11. was built main house manor Novospasskoe, in 1806-11. outbuildings. In 1879, the estate from the Glinka family was sold to the merchant F.T. Rybakov, who dismantled the house and moved it to Kolomna. However, the foundation has been preserved. Also, many personal belongings of the Glinka family were preserved, which were kept by the composer's sisters and were then transferred to the museum by their descendants.
The estate was restored in the 1980s on the preserved foundation with the previous layout, including elements of the original furnishings, so that the atmosphere of Glinka's times is preserved.

Music plays in front of the house. It looks like someone is playing the piano.

In 1834, after the death of his father, the composer arrived in Novospasskoye, and in 1835 he married. His wife, Marya Petrovna Ivanova, “Besides a kind and pure heart,” Glinka writes to her mother immediately after her marriage, “I managed to notice in her the properties that I always wanted to find in my wife: order and thrift ... despite her youth and liveliness character, she is very reasonable and extremely moderate in desires. Happiness in his personal life added to Glinka's creative activity, and he completed the opera A Life for the Tsar. Also, the opera "Ruslan and Lyudmila" was written in Novospasskoye, and others musical works. Glinka is rightly called the founder of Russian classical music.

I wonder where he got his inspiration from. The Novospasskoye estate shows us the sources of music.
In the living room, Glinka rehearsed the performance of his works, invited a choir from local peasants

Also on the 2nd floor there is a bird room, where Mikhail Ivanovich listened to the melodies of bird voices

I really liked the museum - the Novospasskoye estate, precisely for the fact that the atmosphere of the era was recreated there. It does not feel that many years have passed, there were cutting down of cherry orchards, revolutions and destructive wars. Again, the sounds of the piano are heard from the house. it amazing place is away from big cities, there is amazing air. But the museum has yet to develop, especially the infrastructure requires attention.

Being in Syzran and having free time, in addition to walking around the city and its environs, I made forays into the neighboring Simbirsk province to places of interest to me.

The purpose of this trip was to visit the place of death of aircraft designer Vsevolod Konstantinovich Tairov. The route ran along the same federal highway M-5"Ural" . Due to the congestion of the route and the shoulder of 120 km, roadside settlements examined selectively.

“…. And the deserted places of the Volga region began to be settled by various people, free landless peasants, soldiers who received land as a gift for services to the Fatherland, received land, forest land and princes, counts, merchants and nobles as a gift.

In 1698, the southern edge of the Syzran governorship began to be settled. As a gift, the lands were given to Bestuzhev, Solovtsov, Miloslavsky, Churin. And the Volga region began to transform, which was previously considered wild, deserted. God's houses began to be built. People hoped to get a settlement, prosperity and contentment from the land "(Chronicle for 1702, deacon of the Preobrazhensky monastery of the Syzran viceroy Danilov).

The village arose in the 17th century. and was called Solovtsovo by the name of the owner of the village - the service nobleman Pyotr Gavrilovich Solovtsov. Later, the village became a volost center. In 1874 a railway passed through Solovtsovo. The station was named"Novospasskoye" , named after the church that was built in the village. At the beginning of the twentieth century. the name of the village - Solovtsovo has already begun to disappear, and Novospasskoe has strengthened.

“Glinka is our genius, a composer for whom the people and the homeland were the main, the main content of his greatest works. Always alive in the minds of Russian musicians, Glinka is just as dear to the heart of the Russian people.”
(B. Asafiev)

The great Russian composer is rightly called the founder of Russian musical classics. This does not mean that Russian music before Glinka did not represent anything of value - Russia from time immemorial was famous for its talents, and gifted musicians were not uncommon in it. But sad fate expected many of them: those who had the fate of being born serfs were doomed all their lives to subordinate their talent to the whims of the master. The few who managed to break into the people were always threatened by the rivalry of foreign artists. Other obstacles stood in the way of musicians from the upper classes. In the nobility, music was considered obligatory element good upbringing. Visiting theaters and concerts was the same indispensable secular ritual as attending balls, masquerades and those invited to make music their main occupation - instead of a military or diplomatic career, instead of economic management. family estate- seemed unforgivable frivolity.

For Glinka, music was not only the main business of life - it was life itself. As a boy, shocked by his first musical impressions, he said about himself: “Music is my soul!” So she remained forever his fate, the purpose and meaning of his existence. That is why in the works of the great composer we hear both the voice of the artist himself and the voice of the time, the brightest and best features which he captured and captured. This time, difficult and complex, was a time of great hopes and great disappointments.

Two events determined its appearance. The first is the victorious war with Napoleon, in which the Russian people showed not only military prowess, but also unprecedented strength and fortitude. The war has awakened best minds Russia is confident that such a people will be able to destroy or at least curb autocracy and achieve freedom. Here lay the roots of the second event: the uprising of the Decembrists, which ended in a tragedy on Senate Square, the execution and exile of the most honest and noble people. And this was followed by years of the most gloomy reaction, the "spirit of bondage", which firmly took possession of the entire vast empire - from the serf village to bureaucratic St. Petersburg.

“But in defiance of historical trials, it was then, in the first half of the century, that Russia put forward a whole galaxy of talented people, who confidently put her young art on a par with the already mature national schools. Glinka's contemporaries and almost his peers were Pushkin, Gogol, Baratynsky, Tyutchev. Nine years older - Griboyedov, ten years younger - Lermontov. They were replaced by a galaxy of younger contemporaries, whose first successes coincided with the years of the full flowering of Glinka's work: Nekrasov, Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy. Different tempers, different talents, different fates. But they also have common features, allowing them to be considered as a single national school. This is, first of all, faith in the creative spirit of their people and the desire to touch the living source of their art - a reflection of "the aspirations and expectations of the people", as Lenin called the Russian folk song many years later.

Creative principles characteristic of the Russian literary classics century, formed the basis of other arts, including music. The first examples of musical classics were the works of Glinka, in which the aesthetic ideals of Russian art of his time are expressed in beautiful art form, fully armed with confident craftsmanship. If we trace the life and creative way Glinka, it is easy to find out which great importance had for him a connection with the Smolensk region. Here, in the village of Novospasskoye, he was born, spent his childhood, received his first musical impressions and learned the beauty of Russian folk song. Here, under the influence of the events of the Patriotic War of 1812, patriotic feelings and faith in the mighty forces of the people were awakened in him forever, which was later deeply reflected in his music.

In the Smolensk estate Novospasskoye, twenty kilometers from Yelnya, the great Russian composer (1804-1857), the founder of Russian classical music, was born and spent his childhood.

“I was born on May 20, 1804, at dawn, in the village of Novospasskoye, which belonged to my parent, retired captain Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka. This estate is located twenty miles from the city of Yelnya, Smolensk province; it is located along the Desna River (near its source) and in a short distance is surrounded by impenetrable forests merging with the famous Bryansk forests ... ”This is how Glinka begins his autobiographical Notes. The first biographer of M. I. Glinka, V. V. Stasov, wrote: “Glinka was born, spent his first years and received his first education not in the capital, but in the countryside, and thus his nature took on those elements of musical folk that, according to in essence, in our cities only in the heart of Russia have survived ... "

In the possession of Glinka - the descendants of an old Polish gentry family, from which in 1655 a branch of the Smolensk nobles spun off - the Novospasskoye estate, or rather, the Shatkov wasteland, as it was originally called, passed in 1750. The small wooden house in which the composer was born was built in late XVIII century grandfather of M. I. Glinka - retired major N. A. Glinka. At the same time, in 1786, the stone manor Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built, after which the village was named Novospasskoe. On the nameless stream flowing into the Desna, a cascade of ponds was arranged, and a small park was laid out on both sides, which subsequently increased significantly. For him, the father of M. I. Glinka - retired captain Ivan Nikolayevich Glinka (1777-1834), to whom the estate passed in 1805 - specially ordered from St. Petersburg, Riga and even from abroad seedlings and bulbs of rare plants and flowers.

The composer's parents are buried near the church. In 1812, a detachment of French soldiers, having occupied Novospasskoye, tried to rob the church, but the peasants, led by the priest I. Stabrovsky, the first teacher of M. I. Glinka, locked themselves in the temple and successfully fought off the enemy. The French robbed the estate, the priest's house, but the church remained untouched.

The Church of the Savior was famous for its bells. The largest of them weighed 106 pounds. His sound was heard for ten miles around. By order of the owner of the estate, this bell was rung all day when the news came of the victory over Napoleon and the expulsion of the enemy from Russia.

The bells of the Novospassky Church were miraculously preserved during the communist pogroms. In 1941, a priest and several lay people removed the bells and flooded them in the Desna. Some of the locals reported this to the Nazis. They grabbed the priest and began torturing him, dousing him in the cold cold water and demanding that he indicate the place where the bells are hidden - non-ferrous metal was needed for the victory of the Third Reich. The priest died under torture - the Nazis froze him alive. After the war, one of the Novospassky bells was found and is now in the Smolensk Museum.

Mikhail Ivanovich grew up in big family He had six sisters and two brothers. “Our family is numerous, but very friendly,” wrote the composer.

The soul of the family was, of course, mother Evgenia Andreevna, “a beauty, moreover, very well brought up and of a wonderful character,” according to her daughter Lyudmila. A friend of M. I. Glinka, P. A. Stepanov, says this about Evgeny Andreevna: “What a wonderful person his mother was! Anyone who only loved her son, she already considered her own; how she caressed us, pampered us. It was so gratifying in her house that all ordinary hardships were forgotten, and her heart was warmed by the frosts of life.
Evgenia Andreevna lived in Novospasskoye for 49 years, carefully raising her children. The most beloved and dearest for the mother was the eldest son Michael.

A big role in the upbringing of the boy was played by his young nanny Avdotya Ivanovna, a master of singing songs and telling fairy tales. But most of all, the young Glinka was fascinated by the familiar “sadly tender sounds” of folk songs.

He himself writes in "Notes": "And, perhaps, these songs, heard by me in childhood, were the first reason that later I began to develop mainly Russian music." “My father,” Mikhail Ivanovich wrote, “loved me and all his children very much. He treated me like a comrade - he confided his secrets and assumptions to me, not hiding his joys and sorrows. He spared no expense for me."

And the beloved sister of the composer, Lyudmila Ivanovna Shestakova, recalled: “My father was naturally smart and by that time a very educated young man. He built a new two-story wooden house with 27 rooms, which he furnished with exquisite luxury.
He also transformed the estate, which delighted all the guests.

We had everything of our own: weaved carpets, weaved lace, made various embroideries: there were also tailors, shoemakers, painters, carpenters and others - about a hundred people in all, maybe more. Everyone was accommodated by families in wings, of which there were from ten to twelve, except for the house and two large wings. It was a small place or town."

The manor house in Novospasskoye was built by I. N. Glinka in 1807-1810 on the site of the previous one. From a document of 1860 it is known that it was “a wooden two-story house, on a stone foundation, with a corridor covered with shingles, but dilapidated from time to time, and sheathed with boarding with porches and 4 balconies, lined with paper wallpaper inside, 17 rooms on the lower floor , they have windows with double frames, copper handles, latches and hooks 40 ... Dutch stoves made of simple tiles with all accessories - 16.

On the first floor there were utility rooms, a billiard room, a dining room, a hall, a living room, a sofa room, on the second floor there were bedrooms and a nursery. The ceilings of the rooms were painted by the best Moscow masters. “The furniture in each room was made of a special tree,” recalled the sister of M. I. Glinka, L. I. Shestakova. - Magnificent mirrors, parquets, chandeliers, lamps ... Everything was done with such taste and elegance that if our house were moved to St. Petersburg, it would not be one of the last. It was built entirely of oak and pine - a strong good forest. In front of the balcony of the house, a huge "sloping meadow" opened up a panorama of the banks of the river, the fields and meadows beyond the river.

In addition to the master's house in Novospasskoye, there were many more buildings - two outbuildings built in 1806-1811, the "master's bath", a mill, greenhouses, a fuller, etc. All of them were wooden, and have not survived to this day, like master's house.

It is still unknown who was the creator of the huge landscape park, which today occupies the entire territory of the estate. There is no doubt that he was an outstanding master of gardening art. The complex relief of the area where the estate is located served partly as a hindrance, and partly as a help to the master. Using this circumstance, the creator of the park in Novospasskoye widely used the system of free placement of park elements. Its basis was made by lindens, elms, maples, oaks and ash-trees. Small groups of trees and shrubs alternated with clearings and small lawns planted with flowers. One of the lawns was called "Cupid Meadow" - here among the roses stood a marble statue of Cupid.

During the war, many trees were cut down, and now only about three hundred centuries-old trees have survived in the Novospassky park, among which are nine oaks planted by M. I. Glinka himself. The giant oak, under which Glinka composed the score of Ruslan and Lyudmila, has also been preserved.

The natural boundary of the park was the Desna River. Pavilions stood on its small islands, where on holidays the orchestra of serf musicians, which belonged to M. I. Glinka's uncle, played all day long. The future composer also listened to these concerts, and later played the violin and flute himself. His first music teacher was a village violinist.

Glinka was very fond of Novospasskoye. And many years later, he often came to his native land, and the impressions of life in the estate were invariably reflected in his work.

The last time M. I. Glinka visited Novospasskoye was in June 1847. “I arrived at Novospasskoye in good health, but soon began to feel that my appetite and sleep began to disappear,” he wrote. “Wishing to support myself, for gymnastics I began to chop extra lindens with a small ax, of which there were many, in order to give space to oaks, elms and other trees.” But his health continued to deteriorate, and Glinka left for Petersburg. And when the composer's mother died in 1851, trips to Novospasskoye lost all meaning for him, and Glinka wrote to his sisters that "he would never again come to Novospasskoye without his mother."

After the death of the composer's mother, E. N. Glinka (1783-1851), the estate was owned by his sisters, L. I. Shestakova and O. I. Izmailova. In 1879, Novospasskoye passed to the Kolomna merchant F. T. Rybakov, who in 1882 sold the furnishings, dismantled the house with outbuildings and moved them to Kolomna, where they soon burned down. At the beginning of the 20th century, Novospassky was owned by the Smolensk merchant Zelikin, who built a dacha next to the foundations of an old manor house and cut down part of the park for this. The remains of the estate perished during the Great Patriotic War.

After the death of Mikhail Ivanovich, his house was sold by relatives and taken away. The family home was destroyed. The estate of 20 hectares fell into complete disrepair; a magnificent park with an orchard, greenhouses, English garden for the festivities of youth, two cascades of ponds perished.

In 1976, the restoration of a two-story wooden house and the estate itself began. 27 construction organizations Smolensk took the most Active participation in restoring this property.

By archival materials and memories, the Glinka house, the guest and kitchen outbuildings, the carriage house, the bakery and the courtyard hut, the walkways, the Amur meadow (rose garden), the cascade of ponds, the gazebos, the greenhouse were restored, the family church, now operating, was restored. The park has been put in order, oaks, maples, lindens have been planted. An orchard has been planted. Pleasing to the eye and numerous flower beds.

On May 27, 1982, in a solemn atmosphere, the museum-estate of M. I. Glinka was opened - the first and only museum of the composer. In five rooms of the house there is an exposition telling about the life and creative activity of M. I. Glinka. The hall, the dining room, the billiard room, the offices of the father and the composer himself, the bird room were restored.

March 15, 2015. The village of Novospasskoye is located in the Elninsky district of the Smolensk region. The Novospasskoye estate is located in the southeastern part of the Smolensk region, 22 km south of the regional center - the city of Yelnya, on the Desna River. In 1750, the estate passed into the possession of grandfather Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka and it was called "Shatkovo wasteland" after the nearby village of Shatkovo. In 1786, a new stone Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built, as well as a wooden house, in which on May 20, 1804, a son, the future great composer Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka, was born in the family of Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka and his wife Evgenia Andreevna. Preobrazhenskaya" was named the estate - Novospasskoye. Glinka spent his childhood in Novospasskoye. Here he received his first musical impressions, learned the beauty of Russian folk songs, and worked on his immortal works. On the site of the old house in 1807-1810, the composer's father built a new "... a wooden two-story house, on a stone foundation, with a corridor covered with shingles, but dilapidated from time to time, and sheathed with a board with a porch and 4 balconies, inside upholstered with paper wallpaper, on the lower floor there are 17 rooms, they have windows with double frames, copper handles, latches and hooks 40, Dutch stoves made of simple tiles with all accessories - 16 ". After the Patriotic War of 1812, the house was essentially rebuilt. Everything in it was beautiful: the ceilings of the front rooms were painted, the walls were upholstered with velvet wallpaper. Furniture - only from a special tree. Huge mirrors, parquets, chandeliers, lamps, two pianos are everywhere for playing music. After the death of Ivan Nikolaevich Glinka, the estate passed to his younger sister Olga Ivanovna Izmailova. Three years later, Olga Ivanovna died, and the estate went to her husband, who, not wanting to farm, sold it to the merchant Rybakov. The wooden house and part of the outbuildings were dismantled in 1882 and transported to Kolomna, where barracks for the military were built from this material. The estate itself fell into disrepair after that. In 1933, the rector of the Novospassky Church, Fyodor (Rafail) Tivanov, was arrested along with his family and taken away in an unknown direction. The rest of the history of the estate belongs to our days. In 1976, by decision of the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR and the Union of Composers, the restoration of a two-story wooden house and the estate itself began. On May 27, 1982, the museum-estate of M. I. Glinka was opened. Due to the persecution of the church that reigned in Soviet times during the restoration of the estate, the Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya manor church was not restored. Its renovation began only in 1990. The church is currently active.
