Pushkin, Decembrists and Hare met at the exhibition in Clean Ponds

In the Literary Museum in the village of Pure Ponds of Nesterov district opened an unusual exhibition about Pushkin and the Decembrists. Its author is a modern artist Alexander Dubrovsky.

The exhibition is called “Lived was a zaya, or Pushkin in December”. It presented six works that tell about the events of 1825: from the preparation of the Decembrist uprising to the trial, exile to Siberia and subsequent events.

The main character of the exhibition is a hare. According to legend, he once crossed the path of Pushkin, when he was heading to St. Petersburg. Because of this, the poet delayed and did not get to the Decembrists, avoiding the fate of the participants in the uprising.
