Vladimir V. Mayakovsky Dacha Museum

About museum

Vladimir Mayakovsky visited Pushkino approximately four times a year. Here he wrote a number of poems known as “dacha” poems. For example, in June 1920 his friend Rumyantsev invited the poet to visit his dacha on Akulova Hill, located near Pushkino station on the road from Moscow. It was here that Mayakovsky invited the Sun to tea in the summer months of 1920. This dacha became famous thanks to his poem “An Extraordinary Adventure That Happened to Vladimir Mayakovsky One Summer at the Dacha.” Three more poems were written there as well. In other years the poet wrote poems such as “Spring,” “We Are Resting,” “A Dacha Incident,” as well as poems for the ROSTA window propaganda displays. In Pushkino Mayakovsky wrote 9 of the 17 chapters of the poem “Good.” Thus, Rumyantsev’s dacha became the place where Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote his poems.
