Representatives of the pedagogical and scientific community, local historians of Blagoveshchensk took the initiative. Activists demanded to save the house on the street. Bogdan Khmelnitsky, 39.
It is known that the building is associated with the name of talented writer Vera Nikolaevna Zhkova. It was from this house that, in 1928, the 14-year-old student of the Alekseevskaya gymnasium Vera Zhkova sent her first letter and poem to Maxim Gorky in Italy. Until the writer's death, correspondence was maintained. Gorky appreciated Vera's talent, helped her, invited her to Moscow and considered her his student.
“Unfortunately, the building is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done, we risk losing another unique page in the history of Blagoveshchensk. Every effort must be made to preserve and restore it, so that this cultural landmark can become a center of attraction for our youth and city residents,” the activists wrote.
The authorities are expected to take measures to restore the building. On that basis it is possible to create a cultural and historical center.
