Eng Svyatogorsk Monastery of the Assumption and the Necropolis of Gannibal-Pushkin The Titmouse, on which the miraculous icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria was revealed to the inhabitant of the shepherd Timothy, was first mentioned in the Pskov III Chronicle under the year 1566. The Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Monastery was founded by order of Tsar Ivan IV in 1569 and since ancient times was one of the most revered in Russia ... Among the many gifts of tsars and nobles kept in the monastery were the 15-pound bell, bestowed by Ivan the Terrible, popularly called Goryun, and the Gospel, a gift from Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. Today you can see the fragments of the bell ordered by Hegumen Innokenty, made at the Tyulenev factory in Moscow in 1753. The fate of the monastery changed significantly in the 18th century, when the border of Russia moved to the shores of the Baltic, and especially after the decree of Catherine II in 1764, according to which the monastery was enrolled in the third-rate, and its lands and other lands were transferred to the treasury. However, it remained popular among the people for its shrines and wealth of fairs dedicated to patronal holidays - the Ninth Friday after Easter and the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos. Since the 19th century, the monastery has been inextricably linked with the name of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Living in Mikhailovskoye, the poet came here in moments of creative pursuits and to bow to the graves of his ancestors, whose memory he sacredly cherished. Working on the drama Boris Godunov, A. Pushkin strove for the ultimate historical truthfulness in portraying the characters of his heroes. He achieved this by studying the Chronicles, "History of the Russian State" by N. M. Karamzin and local sources. The poet used the archive and the library, which was located in the fire-lamp of the "fraternal" building. It contained the chronicle of the monastery, which contained a record of the participation of the first abbot of the monastery, Zosima, in the Zemsky Sobor in 1598, which elected Boris Godunov to the kingdom. Pushkin loved to visit the Svyatogorsk fairs, where he listened to the vivid and imaginative folk speech, memorized and wrote down the most interesting and characteristic "from nature". Visiting these fairs, observing the life of the inhabitants and visitors of the monastery, meeting with holy fools, the stories of pilgrims about events long past - "the tales of deep antiquity" - undoubtedly found a creative reflection in the images of the heroes of Boris Godunov.
