The lighting installation was designed according to the required modernity. What became particularly special was the laconicism and worldliness of the decoration, which was rare for the style of that time.

The main feature of the façade is the placement of right-handed arches and window openings, intended for natural lighting of the gymnasium halls.

Other windows, also not small in size, are glazed in classy rooms and important warehouse decoration on the façade. The space between them – the sheets – are tiled with ceramic tiles of a dark green color and decorated with ornamental tiles of a light green color, placed near the horizontal edges.

The windows of the three remaining surfaces have the same frames, and the windows of the other and third sides are also visually surrounded by decorative frames that are behind the windows, which gives the space between the windows the appearance of a pilaster iv. This element was added to the action, wetted under the vigin of the cornice part and supported by it.

The decor of the former Medvednikovskaya gymnasium has an eye-catching stitched rustication, which is not only visible on the lower level, but also adorns the entire area on the right side of the building, which is considered to be of great importance ši vikna. Moreover, the rustication first strengthens the arches of the vaulted entrances and the upper window opening.

The most prominent decorative element of the façade is the rocaille cartouches that adorn one of the rusticated plaster plaster, as well as the head window.

The main emphasis when designing a booth in Starokonyushenny Provulk was to focus on the internal structure, and at the same time on the outer decorative finishing.

The architect paid great attention to engineering equipment and enhanced comfort, which, of course, was characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. There were spacious halls, high stelaes, wide corridors and a great gymnasium. Some of the high school classes were held in front of the amphitheaters, which were adjacent to university auditoriums.

With engineering communications, attention was paid to the ventilation of the pyleosad chambers, which allowed the ventilation in the premises for three years.

The planning of the internal premises of the gymnasium was based on the principle of creating open spaces for elementary and senior classes, as well as entrances to separate primary classrooms and other areas.

Another original idea would be to place a gambling hall in the house, which would be covered with a glassed-in crypt.

History of the creation of the Medvednikovsky human gymnasium

Ivan Logginovich Medvednikov - merchant of the 1st guild from Irkutsk - having made his small fortune in gold mining and resale of farms. Respected by a generous benefactor not only in his native place, but also in Moscow, where he moved from his family in the 50s of the nineteenth century. The peculiarities of the cat were directed to the daily life of temples, initial foundations and medicine. In addition, Ivan Loginovich paid scholarships to high school students and students from disadvantaged families.

In 1889, Medvednikov passed away. Her squad – Oleksandra Ksenofontivna – hopes to continue to carry out a great deal of beneficial activity. I'm sorry, she completely wrote in the commandment her and her human life on a godly basis. Mikola Oleksiyovich Tsvetkov is the executor of the appointments.

After the death of Oleksandra Medvednikova, Tsvetkov was important to properly honor the memory of her friend in the implementation of the project of a progressive-type backlighting installation. A decree on the creation of a new gymnasium, named after Ivan Loginovich and Oleksandra Ksenofontivna Medvednikov, was signed especially by Mikola II. It became 1901 fate, 8 chernia.

How long ago was the foundation of the Medvedniki gymnasium, and the school classes, until the end of the day, were placed at the booth on Povarska Street, 40.

At this time, at 18 Starokonyushenny Provulk there is school No. 59, which, unfortunately, bears the name not of the Medvednikovs, but of Mikoli Vasilyovich Gogol.

Moscow gymnasium named after I. and A. Medvednikovykh (1901-1917)

The history of the guilty gymnasium is as follows.

Oleksandra Medvednikova, the widow of the merchant Ivan Medvednikov, bequeathed great wealth to people. Among other kind inquiries about her life, the donor discussed the nutrition of the garni school. After her death, the executor N.A. Tsvetkov took charge of her, and became the founder of the gymnasium. In his troubles about the founding of the gymnasium, he decided to assign the price to the gymnasium named after Ivan and Oleksandri Medvednikov. So the gymnasium became a reminder of good deeds.

Allowed the Ministry of Education to open high schools in Moscow, it was withdrawn, and energetic work began with daily life, equipping the offices and so on. Everything was crushed for the commandment of the cat.

Organization of school life. Fee for training - 100 rubles. on the river from the skin school of the gymnasium and preparatory classes. Variety of skin care - 290 rub. on the river The 30 best students (out of 280) were paid for the training, and they were respected by their fellows. I. and A. Medvednikovykh. The money was paid as a payment for food (25 krb. per river).

The classes had 47-50 students.

Division of students by religion and country (number of students - 279)

The fireplace on top of the fireplace was designed for a gymnasium, it was light and spacious. There are 12 classrooms and four halls: assembly hall, music hall, gymnastic hall and recreation hall; There are several rooms: physical, natural, historical and geographical; three doctor's offices; as well as the class of handwork, molding, painting; library, office, two buffets. Particular respect was shown for the physical health of the students, with a doctor watching over their health. Sports, gymnastics, rough games were introduced into the routine of school life, which was atypical.

The gymnasium had a well-organized meal for the students, and everyone was serving hot food.

Education for high school students. The children's education was as carefully thought out and well organized as their physical development. The gymnasium had a large library and a wonderful collection of textbooks.

Readers developed new methods of writing. Thus, in the senior classes, lectures were often given, which were accompanied by the display of textbooks, which at that time was rare. The originality of the vikladna was similar to that of other subjects. Goodness was set on the course of painting and molding. The gymnasium is small, miraculously equipped with masters and painting classes.

The lessons were supplemented with pre-school activities. Talented and quietly learned people rose to the activity of a dramatic group. Under the influence of the publication of Russian and literature, the stink of ancient Russian songs was stinking.

Activities in painting, molding, spinning, and manual labor were carried out both at home and before hours. The mustache began to sprout. Playing music, molding, robots made from wood, boules for those who enjoy it. School performances, literary evenings, the gymnasium orchestra and choir were also ways of artistic and moral education.

Several times on the river, especially in the middle of the first holiday and Masnitsa, balls, literary and musical evenings were held; the yalinka was being pulled in.

Paid productions of the school theater were organized “for the benefit of the Partnership for Helping Underserved Students” - the result of the activities of the most progressive and democratically trained teachers. Professional actors and directors were often hired to assist the production. It is characteristic that in most of the episodes the stinks worked without harm, bringing their knowledge and memory to the gift of the gymnasium.

School for high school students. Students at the gymnasium had their right to study reduced. It wasn’t often that we had to go to this length, except for serious offenses and homelessness with our fathers. The fathers worked together with the hunters.

Great respect was attached to the development of the spirit of camaraderie, mutual assistance, and friendship. Inform, the skargs didn’t want to. The children were constantly inspired by the idea that it was wicked to cheat the young and the weak. The stronger ones, who started in first grade, always helped the weaker ones.

That very hour she was developing self-reliance, self-reliance. Self-examination of the headships, turbot about cleanliness and desolation, about one’s own speeches, the head’s companions, classy furniture are indispensable items for every high school student. They cleaned their aprons, brushes, and ganchers every day, steadily and pedantically keeping things clean. There was no time for anyone to zip up their table.

Moral education was the basis of all the work of the gymnasium. Morally, the thoroughness of particularity was seen as a symbol of the ideals of truth, goodness and beauty; For the success of therapy it was necessary to hide on the dark side of the child’s soul.

Weekend at the gymnasium between students and teachers simple and hearts were restored. The recruiters focused their careers on trust, truthfulness and generosity, tried to instill in the students love and respect for themselves and for school, and themselves carefully raised their sense of human worthiness.

Teachers attached great respect to the child’s cultivated individuality, the development of its inclinations and strengths.

An important part of the work of the gymnasium. Medvedpikova was in touch with her fathers. Traditionally, hundred-hundred-year-old fortunes were practiced between fathers and school. The marriage has developed a tendency to belittle the school, put it before it with bitterness - and in front of the children. Everything was different here.

Interact with your dads. At the nervous father’s gatherings, the head teacher of the gymnasium expressed gratitude to the fathers for their trust and respect for the interests and mission of the school. And the director of the gymnasium returned to the father with a proposal to determine what kind of training is required and how, if and how to conduct them. In this case, 11 items were announced, clearly formulated for the discussion (both the fruits and cinnamon of the Fatherland collections; the necessary secret collections and class meetings, etc.). After a long exchange of thoughts, a decision was made to hold a meeting once upon a time. Class meetings were decided to be held in a family style, over a cup of tea, but then all the participants in the meetings would be given food for discussion, so that they had an hour to think about them and adopt an important resolution at the meetings. The questions for discussion were asked by the director: what is the layout of the lessons? What is the most important day for studying? What items are given that are important? How can I help with my lessons?

At the beginning of the father’s skin collection, the director thanked the fathers for their coming to the collection. With the most important nutrition, the father’s thoughts were explained with the help of a nutritional leaf; The decision was made only after the pouches had reached saturation.

Well, at the gymnasium. The Medvednikovs were instituted so that teachers would treat their fathers with full attention, without getting into anything, without getting used to it. At the meetings, the positions and significance of the rich activities that could be done before the fathers were explained. The kind and trusting notes that arose at the close gathering of teachers and fathers led to solidarity in the right direction of the goal set. In addition, the school largely eliminated such spontaneity, and the remaining parts of the school were able to adjust the work, relying on the guards of the fathers over the children.

In the pictures: Ivan Loginovich and Oleksandra Ksenofontivna Medvednikova.

Chapter from the documentary story “Boys from Starokonyushenny”

I started at the 59th Moscow School, near Starokonyushenny Provulk on Arbat. In the history of modern education, our school at the beginning of the last, twentieth century had the honor of opening a new side - becoming the first secondary secondary school in Russia.

Before the Soviet revolution of 1917, the Medvednikovskaya gymnasium was famous, prestigious, and one of the largest state schools in Russia. An old photograph on the façade showed the inscription: “Gymnasium named after Ivan and Oleksandry Medvednikov.”
Miraculous awakening, one of the largest gymnasiums in Moscow, was inspired by the project of the architect-artist Ivan Sergiyovich Kuznetsov on a plot near Starokonyushenny Provulka and on a pittance, reserved for the spiritual commandment of O. K. Medvednikova. Among the merchants, the Medvednikovs are known by their beneficial rights.
Oleksandra Ksenofontivna was the widow of the merchant Ivan Logginovich Medvednikov. It belonged to the people of Sibiryakov, a rich and prosperous Siberian family of merchants, industrialists and philanthropists, who greatly contributed to the economic and cultural development of Siberia and Pivnochi. From childhood I have absorbed the traditions of benevolence. This miracle woman, who had received a wonderful light, was respected and walked around as “a person of high morality, endowed with extraordinary intelligence and strong will.”
This man, Irkutsk merchant of the 1st guild, Ivan Logginovich Medvednikov, comes from an Old Believer merchant family. Their ancestors, the Medvednikovs, who came from the Don, from the Cossacks, took their share of their ancestors, and having conquered Siberia, went all the way to America, and were among the first Russian settlers in Alaska and California. Ivan Logginovich bought and sold cleverly, traded with China, bringing tea and textiles, also got involved in gold mining, becoming a gold miner, founding the first commercial position bank in Irkutsk, which gave loans to the population for small sums. Obviously, before his mother Elisaveta Mikhailovna’s behest, the clothes she had deprived her of opened a little house (an end school for orphan girls), which was aimed at the income of her bank. For this, Ivan Loginovich and Oleksandra Ksenofontivna Medvednikov were awarded the title of honorary citizen of Irkutsk. Somehow the rocks turned into Irkutsk’s mischievous head. Then he moved, first to St. Petersburg, then to the Zvenigorod district of the Moscow province. In Moscow, he continued to engage in charity work, donating to churches, hospitals, helping disabled students and high school students.
He died in 1889, the squad outlived him by ten years.

In 1899, according to the commandment of Alexandra Ksenofontovna Medvednikova, Moscow took away five million rubles - at that time a huge amount - the destruction of churches, monasteries, hospitals, infirmaries and schools. All churches in Moscow and Irkutsk received a one-time payment of 100 rubles, and monasteries - 10 thousand. Part of the funds went to church parish schools. On Velikaya Kaluzkaya Street (nine Leninsky Prospekt) a great beneficial complex was built, which became an architectural beauty: a medicine hospital for the disabled, equipped with first-class medical facilities, an almshouse, two Budinka churches - Kozel Shchanskaya icons of the Mother of God and Tikhvinskaya icons of God's body, living apartments for staff, kitchens, lazna, laundry room. In fact, this was one of the first hospices in Moscow, although they didn’t know such a word. (After 1917, the Medvednikovskaya hospital and almshouse increased to the complex of the 5th City Hospital, and in 1992 it began to be called the hospital of St. Alexis, and it was transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate of Russian Law glorious Church.)

The executor of Oleksandry Ksenofontivny, an old friend of the motherland, the wheeled guard Mikola Oleksiyovich Tsvetkov, believed that the best way to honor the memory of the Medvednikovs would be a good secondary school (gymnasium), which represents the current best im vimogam. Behind its manifestations and plans, this is a school of a new type. He became the founder, and then the honorable head teacher of such a school.
The 9th Moscow classical gymnasium named after the Medvednikovs was founded by the High Order of Mikoli II on the 8th of 1901. At the local ceremony during the laying of Starokonyushenny Provulok and the consecration of the high-ranking guests present - the Moscow Governor-General Grand Duke Sergei Oleksandrovich with the retinue of Elizaveta Fedorivna (brutally killed by By the Ilshovians in 1918, she was canonized at the end of the 20th century and among the holy saints). Moskovsky and Kolomensky Volodymyr. I don’t know what other schools Russia has in which saints took their part in the consecration. A pile of coins was placed at the base of the memorial plaque.
Having guessed one saint, I can’t help but talk about another, whose life is closely connected with our Starokonyushenny Provulok, with the Arbat. Near the beautiful, decorated, carved, old double-topped wooden booth-mansion No. 30 on Starokonyushenny Provulok (I didn’t save it, but I remember it) near the rocks of my school childhood, that youth - from 1942 to 1949 - lived a famous Moscow old lady Matro. Blind as a woman, and at 17 years old as a result of paralysis of her legs, which had lost her ability to walk, she was endowed from her childhood with the miraculous gift of spiritual vision, transmission, providence, as well as the gift of healing and helping people who came before her Sounds good. And for her earthly life, and immediately glorified and worshiped among the people, the holy wonderworker Matrona of Moscow kisses people and helps everyone who prays for her in prayer and faith.

From the very beginning, the Medvednikovskaya Gymnasium held classes in a booth at 40 Povarskaya Street, and since 1904 - at its new booth in Starokonyushenny.
The gymnasium is small and large, with majestic arched windows, decorated with stucco assembly hall, classrooms with great windows and high stele, most of all, at that time, in the subject rooms and auditoriums (built as universities - amf theater), a wonderful library, a well-equipped school. Specially designed school furniture was made for her (we also found chairs for teachers in classrooms). Here’s a neat detail: the air in the former primus was pumped with heavy-duty fans with pylon chambers, effective ventilation allowed for three times the air in the classrooms to be updated within a year. In bad weather, the overcoats of the high school students were dried at the dressing room and warmed up in the warm air, which was often necessary from below.
The younger classes worked alongside the older ones in the double wing, which adjoins the main building. In the 4th grade we began in this outbuilding.
On the upper, fourth turned around the Irkutsk fellow countryman Medvednikovikh, Kupsya, the nudish Promoslovza, the power of the Batookh Zavodav, and the Zgoda I Bankira, the imperious Bank of Mikoli Oleksandrovich Securovoi, the great, good, the decay of the gimnastic hall. In whose wonderful gym our physical education lessons were held, basketball games were held, and volleyball games were held in the first place, such a tall stele there.

Before the speech, not far, on the other side of the Arbat, in Spasopeskovsky Provulk, Vtorov, the leader of the largest military establishment in Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century, was nicknamed “Russian Morgan” for his business acumen, in 1913-1915 having his own front office. This luxurious mansion with its opposite entrance and handsome antique Ionic columns is considered a significant monument to the neoclassical style. During the reign of the Russians, another mansion was given over to the residence of the American ambassador - none other than the Spaso House.
In the year 1918, the 52-year-old Mikola Oleksandrovich tragically and mysteriously died - behind the scenes, and shot his side son. At his funeral, the workers carried a wreath with the inscription: “To the great organizer of industry.” In the near Moscow town of Elektrostal, I call it the metallurgical plant “Elektrostal”, the Second urged one of the streets to bear his name and erect a monument to the founder of the place and a prominent Russian industrialist.

The Medvednikovskaya Gymnasium was destined to represent a new type of secondary school - it became Russia's first secondary secondary school. The city's founder N.A. Tsvetkova and the first director V.P. Unfortunately, it was expected that at this time the entire school lighting system in Russia would be overhauled. The stench pervaded his gaze.
In replacement of other classical gymnasiums, Medvednikovsky could have children from different countries. The governor wanted the gymnasium to be controlled “in special ambushes.” There is a small government statute, which significantly differs from the standard high school statute, its own initial program and its own special staff. The initial program of the Medvednikovsky Gymnasium had a short introduction of ancient languages, Latin and Greek, then modern languages ​​- French, German, English - were more widely used, the study of scientific knowledge was expanded, natural history, physical geography, anatomy and hygiene. Before this, the staff included a doctor, a gymnast, a dance master, as well as doctors - a pediatrician, an otolaryngologist, an ophthalmologist and a dentist.
Before the speech, the gymnasium dentist Lydia Oleksandrivna Tamburer was a close friend of the family of the poet Marina Tsvetaeva, who lived nearby - on Dog Maidan. Young Marina nicknamed her the Dragon, and much later she often wondered about her: “This is our dear friend: a friend to the museum of my old father and my very young masters, a friend of the fishery sawings of my grown brother and my first grown-ups, who overcame my youth Shoi sisters, one of our skin "Besides and all this family as a whole, the one in whose friendship we were bound when our mother passed away..." It was light and easy with Dragonnaya, she helped Marina survive the many difficulties and thrills of youth.
Tsikavo, before the pedagogical gymnasium, the same fathers entered and took an active part in it.

A preparatory school was established at the Medvednikovsky gymnasium, which accepted children aged 7–8 years. Here they began reading, writing, foreign language, and the Law of God. The layout was arranged in such a way that the lessons would be completed over a year of crumbling games. After the preparatory class, the students entered the first gymnasium class. In this case, everything was laid out in a complicated manner, since children entered the gymnasium with home education. In the gymnasium classes, in the middle of the day, instead of games, gymnastics and singing lessons were held. There were also special rooms for the recovery of students from illness.
Studying at the gymnasium was free of charge, and part of the tuition was due. One of the main ideas put in place by the founder M.A. Tsvetkov is the relentless teaching of poor children to the riddle about the benefactors of the Medvednikovs. According to the most recently approved Regulations on the gymnasium, 30 scholarships named after the Medvednikovs were established. In this case, the gymnasium, like other government treasury deposits, paid for the birth of children of depositors of the average initial deposits, as well as 10 hundreds of years from the worst uchniv". The total number of available payments was 120 people, about 30 hundred for all students. In addition, the gymnasium saw up to a thousand rubles per resource to help students and provided costless hot snacks to 40 high school students.
The great Russian singer Leonid Sobinov, his two brothers - Boris and Yuri - began at the Medvednikovsky gymnasium, giving beneficial concerts for the benefit of their students.

The first director of the Medvedniki gymnasium was the state councilor Vasil Pavlovich Nedachin, a university-educated person with a broad outlook and liberal views. At the same time, the spirit of the gymnasium, democratic and liberal, was slain by the pokluvalnik Tsvetkov. The Medvednikovskaya gymnasium was respected as one of the best in Russia, and was famous for its contributions, including university professors. Nedachin was a member of the commission under the Ministry of Public Education for the development of secondary school reforms. Vasil Pavlovich was fired from the directors for his overly liberal views on the fate of 1912.

In the spring of 1918, the birth of Medvednikovsky, like other gymnasiums in the region, was liquidated by the Radyan government. The next hour has come, in which the history of the school has seen sharp turns. The school near Starokonyushenny Provulk has repeatedly changed its names and numbers, as well as its teaching methods. 21st Radyansk Labor School (with a humanities cycle of subjects); 106th Ob'ednan school; 9th pre-study school MONO; 20th pre-study school named after Thomas Edison (?!); In 1925-1930, the school was a semi-factory school with chemical and administrative-radyansky (?) technology. The school bacchanalia continued until 1932-1934, and school education in the region fell. They changed their minds, returned to the basics of the old school, subject knowledge, the system of classroom lessons was updated, and the teacher again became the main figure in school education. In 1933, our school adopted number 59, which is what we wear as a dosi. Eleven rocks - from 1943 to 1954 rocks, when separate education for boys and girls was carried out in places, the school was a men's school.

This was our school, the object of our love and pride, this is our history. In 1952, when the death anniversary of the great writer was marked, it was not clear why the school was given the name of N.V. Gogoliv. I can admit that Mikola Vasilyovich himself, before speaking, is one of my favorite writers, in a humorous, or even sarcastic way, to this marvelous twist.
In 2001, our school celebrated its centenary. Before the anniversary, a badge based on images of the school was released. I take good care of it.

MDU professor Oleksiy Oleksandrovich Pomerantsev had the opportunity to study and get acquainted with the amazing photo album seen in France and Paris. And having revealed a French album, I wanted to find it amazing, about our school.
Appeared, the first director of the Medvednikovskaya gymnasium V.P. Recently, that part of the depositors did not accept the rule of the Radians and emigrated to France. We have come to emigrate. Nedachin’s real brother Mikola Pavlovich, a priest in the Smolensk province, 1918 was shot by the Red Latvian archers. In the 1920s, in Paris, Vasil Pavlovich created and became the director of the famous Russian gymnasium. By collecting the greatest Russian emigrant teachers, by obtaining numerous professors at Moscow University, and on French soil by reviving the glorious traditions of the Medvednikovsky gymnasium. This Parisian Russian gymnasium began to have children of wealthy emigrants. In 1926, Nedachin elected head of the Union of Russian Cash Depositors in France.
The bread of Russian readers in foreign countries is heavy and bitter. Still, they managed to collect the cats and see a photo album about the Medvednikov gymnasium as a memory of the lost distant Russia, Moscow, Arbat. It seems that a copy of a unique Parisian edition was acquired by a Moscow professor, a graduate of the Medvednikovsky gymnasium Pomerantsev.
V.P. Nedachin died in Paris in 1936, after being buried in the village of Billancourt, and then his gunpowder was transferred to Nice in the Russian storehouse of Kokad.

Before the speech, to the name of a graduate of the Medvedniki gymnasium, Oleksiy Oleksandrovich Pomerantsev, born in 1922, when the 5th river Zhovtnya was designated, it was named one of the Moscow walks between Prechistenko and Ostozhenka. Ensign Pomerantsev, elected by the soldiers as the head of the regimental military revolutionary committee, is revered as a hero who died during the terrible street battles of 1917 near Moscow. There are legends about the gallant “red” officer in kid gloves, who, in front of the cadets, opening his cigarette case and lighting a cigarette, was told about this - I read about this in the collection “Zhovten at Zamoskvorichya”, published in 1957. . In fact, he was seriously injured by a bullet, but the untiring soldier made it to the hospital on his back. I rejoiced for a long time and never turned back to the regiment. At the police station, go to the university, even if you want to start. If through fate you find out about Pomerantsev Lane, you don’t hang your head, saying, “I’m alive, I’m alive, that stinks are namesakes.” Perhaps, as my life has told me, the resurrected heroes of the revolution were no longer needed by the Radian government. The revolution, as has happened more than once in history, devoured its children.
Oleksiy Oleksandrovich graduated, becoming a thermophysicist with international authority, a great scientist in the field of molecular physics, a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, a professor at the Moscow Department of Education, and was awarded the Order of Lenin.
About those “ensign of the revolution” and the leader of the world’s teachings – the same people themselves, it was explained after almost a decade. But this is a completely different story, which brought me, an Izvestia journalist, to the old professor’s apartment. Here, two graduates of different rocks from the same gymnasium met unconvincedly. This brought us closer, made us feel like we were our own. Then Oleksiy Oleksandrovich came from the other room and confidently showed me a Parisian album, which was revealed by a photograph of the assembly hall of our school, which impressed me, with a portrait of Tsar Mikoli II above the stage. When we arrived, there was no portrait of him, but on the stage stood a crude plaster statue of a mustachioed bobvan.

Before speaking, if we are talking about emigration, I cannot help but name one famous emigrant. Tsaryan dissident, politician and writer Volodymyr Bukovsky, expelled from the USSR, is still alive in England. In the other half of the 1970s, a malicious ditty was popular among the people:
“They exchanged a hooligan
to Luis Corvalan.
I wish I knew that...
Should we replace Brezhnev?
Let me explain: the central party newspaper “Pravda” called Bukovsky “an evil hooligan who is engaged in anti-Radyan activities.” L.I. Brezhnev is the party and Radian leader of that time, whose rule is characterized by the expressive and precise word “stagnation”, which brought the imminent collapse of the rotten Radyan political and ineffective planned economic system, which was on the rise in the 1990s iv. And “Hooligan” Bukovsky, who was exchanged for the leader of the Chilean communists, began at our 59th school. Vin is also our lad from Starokonyushenogo!

My children of Arbat. We grew up in the spiritual aura of Arbat, which created rich generations of the most enlightened, intellectual and creative people of Russia, its spiritual elite. This invisible aura flowed onto us.

AUTHOR'S ID. In this section of my book I wanted to know about the wonderful people who stood at the center of the creation of the school in which I joined, laid down its spirit and traditions. At the end of the Radian rule, their names were resurrected from history and forgotten. Nina, our eternal memory turns them over. I will drown in these remarkable peculiarities and bow down before them.
I DEPRESENT THAT THE SCHOOLS IN STAROKONYUSHENOY ALLEY WILL NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THE GLORIOUS NAMES OF IVAN LOGGINOVICH AND OLEXANDRI KSENOFONTIVNA MEDvedNIKOVYCH. To these people, it belongs to its people and with their names, it has gone down in the history of the Secondary School, like the first secondary school in Russia. Normal people are not impressed by their fathers. And at the future schools it is necessary to erect a memorial plaque with their nicknames and the nicknames of the founder of the school N.A. Tsvetkova and the first director V.P. Nedachina. These people have left a good mark on the Earth, and we have no right to forget them.

I express my gratitude to all graduates of Moscow school No. 59:
Friends, support the idea of ​​returning our beloved school to its glorious and proud name of MEDDVEDNIKIVSKO. I think that my favorite writer N.V. Gogol, who is now going to wear school, will understand and will not be in character. There are a lot of us, graduates of the Medvednikov School of Different Rocks. Together we are strong!

What kind of rank was given to private initial pledges in Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Russian province to achieve such successes, for which the Medvednikovsky gymnasium and, in fact, the Masinga school in Moscow, the Tenishev school in St. Petersburg were founded And, how great is the Kekin Gymnasium near the Great of Rostov? The answer is simple - at the heart of all these attitudes lay the healthy development and good will of the benefactors.

In the meantime, we are increasingly aware of the need to unify lighting programs, create a single line of assistants, integrate schools in lighting plants, and create special equipment. other initial mortgages. Over the past five years, many gymnasiums, special schools and lyceums have indeed lost special support from the state, and many experimental lighting programs have been closed. What is more surprising and salient is the fact that one of the most important important figures of the lighting system of the Russian Empire was found in the most hostile to it 1880-90 - and pp., if in the state’s Eastern policy it has overcome the reactionary spirit, as a whole expression of the famous Circular about cooks children”, there was diversity. At the end of the 19th century, private initial mortgages were first planned

Forgotten traditions

In the Empire, there were no private and official initial deposits, programs of which (even if there was a slight shaggy haircut) allowed a radical revision of the order of the initial process and the system of depositing courses. Naturally, the main focus of new ideas in the field of education was the private gymnasiums and schools, such as “for tsarism”, as of today, in most cases they did not become class-closed, but rather ki, little reputation of democratic mortgages, whose Nowadays, the most liberal university professors put together the liberal course programs. Before the speech, many representatives of the university professorship worked in gymnasiums and schools, and they did not see anything untoward, which cannot be said about our current schools. In what way were private initial pledges made in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Russian province to achieve such successes, for which the Medvednikovsky gymnasium and, in fact, the Masinga school in Moscow, the Tenishev school in St. Petersburg were founded burzi, majestic Kekinsky gymnasium in Great Rostov? The answer is simple - the basis of all these investments is the healthy development and good will of the benefactors.

A good example for understanding how private coverage was controlled in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century is the Medvednikovsky Gymnasium. Vaughn was looking for two addresses. On the cob (from 1901 to 1904) in the mansion of Prince A. B. Golitsin on Kukharskaya Street (40), built in the 1880s. behind the project of the architect A. E. Erikhson (his projects led to the establishment of the Sitino “Russian Word” on Tverskaya, Ferrein’s pharmacy on Mikilsky, the Shchukin Museum on M. Gruzinsky). And later (from 1904 to this day) it was built at Starokonyushenny Provulka (no. 18). Kuznetsova (who also designed the “Business Door” on Slovyanskaya Square and the Savvino-Storozhivsky Gate in the courtyard of booth No. 6 on Tverskaya Street).

Architecture as the basis of a long-term lighting model

The history of the creation of the gymnasium is entirely typical for the beginning of the 20th century: the widow of the merchant Ivan Loginovich Medvednikov - Oleksandra Ksenofontivna, who was richly engaged in charity, lost 2 million rubles for her commandment iv “for the sake of grace and illumination”, recognizing the famous N.A. as his executor. Tsvetkova. After the death of Oleksandri Ksenofontivna (b. 1899), wheel assessor Mikola Oleksiyovich Tsvetkov ordered part of the commandments of the groschen to be seen for the creation of a private gymnasium named after Ivan and Oleksandri Medvednikov and living in Stara windowed lane, not far from the Church of John the Baptist (a parishioner of which was a gymnasium.

The architect requested Ivan Sergiyovich Kuznetsov, who had previously been a wealthy figure for the Medvednikov family. Together with the contributions, we developed a project for a new type of school, which decided to furnish the space for the beginning, and also to occupy various part-time and part-time work. One of the important innovative elements was the creation of a majestic hall under the cursed gas for crumbling games in bad weather, as well as a planned distribution area between the younger and older classes, which is not without a special entrance before the Li, and vlasnі recreations and maydanchiki for gambling. The building was also equipped with all the latest technology: elevator, telephone, electricity, plumbing, shower cabins, autonomous heating system, ventilation and air conditioning system.

I.S. Kuznetsov, as it should be for an architect of the Art Nouveau era, having worked out not only the plan of the future and the solution to the facade, but also all the various details - the layout of the windows, the shape and size of the door handles, the opening of the entrance doors, the , chairs and chairs for depositories in the offices. They created drawings for special author's physical devices (for example, the wheel of Wirmshurst's machine from his wife had unusually shaped spokes, and it was secured with a chavun handle in the shape of a sparkler!). Such detailed analysis, as well as the creation of reporting instructions for proper operation, were new for the Moscow public, but they themselves allowed the educational process to be smoothly improved, without occupying the heads of important professors Forgive me for everyday problems.

The funds that were lost after the work and processing of applications for the orders of Tsvetkov, the creation of the gymnasium support fund, for the base of current endowments: the gymnasium was not funded for the amount of money spent on the investment the fund has sumi, and for the sum of hundreds of rubles from it. This allowed the creation of special scholarships for the most promising students who could start at the gymnasium without cost. The number of such scholarships initially reached 30, and later other “name” scholarships began to appear. Other students paid 300 rubles per river, but these pennies were not the main income of the initial deposit - like many other non-government initial deposits, the Medvednikovsky gymnasium was funded by donations from philanthropists and donors deposits of the people and the fund, which have grown more and more over time. The gymnasium students themselves were tasked with searching for new ways to develop the school and the material needs of their students. It seems that in the minds of state finance, which is steadily disappearing, the same burden falls on the shoulders of the current teachers of Russian schools.

This very financial and political independence of the singer allowed the Medvednikovsky gymnasium to develop its own model of education, based on which (in contrast to the principle extended among state gymnasiums), there were no provisions only old languages, but also adaptation of current European languages, current literature. , technical and natural objects. Also, the school had a lack of electives and extracurricular subjects, which, due to the obvious high and distant hot (at that time it was even more important, thanks to the radical innovation!) foods and dinners, gave the students of the school the opportunity You can spend most of the day there. Naturally, the introduction of such changes was most important, but after that the school was practically independent.

Democratic planting of robotic schools

The gymnasium had a lot of famous students and university professors, such as N.M. Kulagin, S.P. Moravsky, B.A. Focht, M.K. Lyubavsky (who also contributed to the history of the gymnasium, while also being the rector of Moscow University!). The director of the school from 1901 to 1912 was the historian and teacher V.P. Nedachin, who also destroyed the main ambushes of the school’s robots. Actions from them must deal with especially hostilities. For example, the basis for internal school mutual relations was the idea of ​​de-bureaucratization, “replacement of the formal, bureaucratic system to the proper education and training of children to a truly pedagogical position.” reasonable, heartfelt, based on close cooperation between students and on mutual communication and trust", individual work with each student, focused on narrow subject specialization, created from the middle secondary “outside the world” school.

Unfortunately, regardless of the intercession of the pokluvalniks and vykladachov, in 1912 he failed to withdraw from his planting, and after several fates he emigrated, and became the founder of the Russian Gymnasium in Paris, in the program and what a wealth of pedagogical activities the Medvednikovskaya Gymnasium implemented. As a result, the gymnasium program became the basis for many new initial foundations - among them, besides the well-known Russian gymnasium in Paris, the Khvostovoya gymnasium near Krivoarbatsky Provod and Kekinskaya city Imnasium (later - school) near Rostov the Great.

After the Yellow Revolution of 1917, the fund and guardian council of the gymnasium ceased to exist, and the gymnasium itself was nationalized and repurposed. After the experiments were changed from the program, the Medvednikov gymnasium published number “59”, and later dedicated to N.V. That's what it's called right now.

Axis and the beginning of the Day of Knowing. For some this is joyful, for others it is not so much. Today, thousands of children, fathers and relatives celebrate the beginning of the beginning of fate.

The tradition of working from the beginning of school and university everyday life has sacred roots. Have you thought about how much our ideas about light have changed over the last century? Another 150-100 years ago, enlightenment was far from available; 200 years ago, enlightenment was available to the privileged countries of marriage and to the rare lucky ones, who at the time of need found themselves in the right place.

And to what extent has the regime of the high school student of the past rocks deteriorated compared to today’s child!? Reading Pushkin's legends about Tsarskoye Selo, memoirs of members of the imperial family about home life and stories - sentimental works by Lydia Charskaya about the lives of schoolgirls, most importantly, how well-to-do, clear and present This is the “military” regime of life and education of these children. Ale, regardless of all the difficulties, the illumination was perceived as a blessing, the road to the future and the key to life. Unusually existing lighting installations before the revolution were built by the leading architects of that time. The stinks were rightfully considered one of the most beautiful objects in the area and were objects of grave burial.

In honor of the First Spring, I want to present to your respect a small selection of the marvelous beauty of the architecture of the initial foundations, created before the revolution.
