The settlement originated as the estate of Peredeltsy, owned by the Leontievs (maternal relatives of Peter the Great), then by Princes Dolgorukov and by the Samarins. After a railway passed through the village in the 19th century, it was renamed Peredelkino.
In 1934, Maxim Gorky suggested handing over the area to the Union of Soviet Writers. Within several years, about fifty wooden cottages designed by German architect Ernst May were constructed in Peredelkino by writers. The curator of the project was Soviet politician Aleksandr Shcherbakov.[1]
The arrest of author and playwright Isaak Babel, one of the most notorious events of Joseph Stalin's Great Purge, took place in Peredelkino on May 15, 1939.[2] Babel was then taken by automobile to the Lubyanka Prison, tortured, and shot by the NKVD.
In 1988 the village received the official status of Historical-Cultural Reserve. The same year the Museums of Korney Chukovsky and of Boris Pasternak were opened in the correspondent cottages. In 1997 another Museum was opened in Bulat Okudzhava's cottage.[5]
Cultural referencesEdit
Peredelkino is presumably one of the sources for the name of a factious writer's colony Perelygino from Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita. In the earlier drafts of the novel the name was Perevrakion - the village of liars. Perelygino has a similar meaning but it is slightly masked.[6] Note that Bulgakov places his Perelygino on the Klyazma, Bolshevo, which is where another writers' colony was. Thus, Bolshevo can be another source of Bulgakov's inspiration[7]
Portions of the 1990 film The Russia House were filmed in Peredelkino, including at Pasternak's house and his grave.[8]
