Razdorsky Ethnographic Museum-Reserve
About museum
On February 25, 1988, a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR was issued establishing the State Budgetary Cultural Institution of the Rostov Region 'Razdorsky Ethnographic Museum-Reserve'. Despite the considerable age of the stanitsa Razdorskaya (over 250 years) and the presence of an old Cossack settlement within it, this was not the reason for the museum's creation. The main reason was that the area had been well studied and research had been carried out there in various fields of knowledge. All this was achieved thanks to the teacher of the Razdorskaya secondary school, Leonid Timofeevich Agarkov, who engaged his students and led school expeditions, which resulted in the discovery of the Neolithic settlement 'Rakushechny Yar'. These expeditions helped open new pages in the study of the work of V. I. Surikov.
