Manor Ostrovki – Nataturka.Ru – Monuments of Architecture and Not Only

Ostrovki estate (Russia, Tver region, Vyshnevolotsky district, Ostrov village)

How to get there? By car from Vyshniy Volochok to the north-west along the Leningradskoe shosse [M 10], follow towards St. Petersburg. After 12 km there will be a right turn in the village of Kolomno, towards the village. Academic. The place called Ostrov is 8.5 km away, the remains of the estate are behind the bus stop behind a metal fence

P.S. The main house of the manor was occupied by an orphanage, transferred to another place. The deserted old mansion, although guarded by non-departmental security, may soon become a desirable object for adventurers and vandals

Ostrovki is one of the few estates-dachas preserved in the Tver region. The buildings of the country estate were created in the period from the middle. XIX to the beginning XX centuries At the beginning of the 20th century, the owner of Ostrovki was a prominent scientist, archaeologist, collector, writer and explorer of the Russian North and Siberia A.A. Shirinsky – Shikhmatov, his coat of arms still flaunts on the facade of the building, above the main entrance.

Description of the estate Ostrovki

Preserved: 2 residential buildings, outbuilding, rebuilt greenhouse, outbuildings, park with ponds, church ruins

As befits a real dacha, its structures are organically woven into the surrounding nature, which has been ennobled near the dwelling. In the planning concept, one can feel a subtle calculation for the change of specific pictures.
Perhaps the most important role in this “natural setting” is assigned to the large mirror of Lake Imolozhye, which simultaneously served as the northern border of the estate. The lake through the stream fed an oblong manor pond, the bed of which is located to the south of the house.
The house itself consists of several buildings merged together, standing in one line. These are residential wooden and brick houses, a one-story eastern wing and a heavily rebuilt greenhouse. In the vicinity, several modest buildings for household purposes have been preserved.
Not reaching 1 km to the estate, to the right of the road, among the birches, one can hardly notice the ruins of the brick Assumption Church, conceived by Prince. Shirinsky-Shikhmatov as a temple-museum, where he kept part of his rich icon collection.

From scientific sources: Ostrovki

One of the few estates-dachas that have survived in the Tver region was founded in the middle of the 19th century. and completed at the beginning of the 20th century. and belonged to Prince A.A. Shirinsky-Shikhmatov, a member of the Tver Scientific Archival Commission, the owner of a valuable collection of ancient Russian art. In the compositional solution of the complex, the main role was assigned to the surrounding nature and picturesque views. The estate is located in a forest, which was well-groomed at one time, on the southern shore of a large bay of Lake Imolozhye. The lake serves as the northern boundary of the estate, the stream flowing into it as the western boundary, there are no pronounced boundaries from the east and south. At the stream, a wide linden alley begins, crossing the estate obliquely and leading into the forest. To the south of the alley stretches an array of mixed forest, from the north there is a birch grove, and in it there is a pond elongated from east to west. To the west of it, a group of heavily overgrown mounds has been preserved. Behind the birch grove the alley forks. The poorly preserved northern branch of the alley, bypassing two wooden outbuildings, leads to the main house, in front of which the alley widens, forming a platform for the front yard. The eastern branch of the alley passes by the third wing and leads into the forest. In a birch grove, near the house, there is a brick obelisk. There was also a park sculpture, of which only the pedestals have survived. Apart from the estate, on the edge of the forest, there is a 1901-1904 Assumption Church, a kind of temple-museum, which contained icons from the collection of Shirinsky-Shikhmatov.

Consisting of volumes of different sizes and different times, the main house in the Russian style is stretched along the shore of the lake. By the second half of the XIX century. include a wooden one-story residential building with a mezzanine and a wooden one-story eastern wing, connected by a heavily rebuilt volume of the greenhouse with brick end walls. The wooden walls are sheathed with wood. Strict facades are cut through with rectangular windows, pediments and attic windows are generously decorated with sawn valances, lintels and towels. A miniature balcony is placed in the pediment of the wing. The volumes partially preserved the old interior walls. On the main floor of the house, an enfilade can be traced from the south side. From the west, a brick unplastered one-story volume with a semi-basement adjoins the wooden house. The rectangular volume with the entrance vestibule is completed with a frieze of semicircular kokoshniks, which are also lunettes of the high windows of the main floor. Gable sandriks are placed above the windows of the semi-basement. The attic above the entrance risalit is decorated with a large kokoshnik with a stucco coat of arms of the Shirinsky-Shikhmatovs. Both floors are separated by a longitudinal capital and several transverse walls. The four high halls of the main floor are covered with Monier vaults. In the semi-basement there are eight rooms and a central corridor, covered with box and bow vaults with formwork. Metlakh floor tiles, a dolomite staircase, painted stucco cornices, double-leaf entrance doors with an imitation of square rustication on the outside and juicy three-dimensional carvings with Russian motifs inside have been preserved. The walls were previously painted with views of the estate.

Three wooden one-story residential outbuildings are boarded. Two outbuildings, standing on the road to the main house, are decorated with sawn architraves, carved shoulder blades, valances, berths and towels. The more modest southern wing has simple plank architraves.
The Russian-style brick Assumption Church has been preserved in ruins. The walls are dissected by shoulder blades into strands, completed with semicircular zakomaras. Narrow arched windows are framed with columnar architraves. The arched opening that led from the temple to the apse is decorated with a perspective portal on the inside.

Pyaterochka and Liza Alert launched Security Islands in 65 regions

X5 Goals

X5 Retail Group announces the expansion of the joint project of the Pyaterochka retail chain, the Missing Persons Search Center (TsPPL) and the Liza Alert search and rescue team to all regions where the retailer operates. “Safety Islands” are already operating in more than 14,500 supermarkets in 65 constituent entities.

“Safety Island” is a special area in every Pyaterochka store, equipped with a distinctive sign in the form of an orange geolocation pin, which is a guide for all lost people. Having entered any Pyaterochka, a lost person can contact a store employee or wait until he is offered help. About 50 thousand people working in the retail chain have completed a full course of training and are now able to identify a lost or disoriented person and know how to act if they are found on the territory of the supermarket. The store manager reports each such case to the CPPL hotline, whose specialist, depending on the situation, calls an ambulance, the police, or sends a representative of the Liza Alert squad to the supermarket.

Pyaterochka is the first retail chain to launch a similar project with Liza Alert. It is focused on helping people with dementia, as well as children who may get lost. According to Liza Alert, over 100,000 people are lost every year in Russia. Thanks to the “islands of safety”, every lost elderly person or child will be helped to return home. During five months of testing, which took place in 2,600 stores in Moscow and the Moscow region, assistance was provided to 118 people, 13 of whom were urgently hospitalized in serious condition.

In addition, the trading network and the search and rescue team launched a special portal liza.5ka.ru, where everyone can find the addresses of Pyaterochka stores that provide assistance to lost people, get useful information about the project, help disoriented people, read stories of volunteers and learn how you can contribute to the search for missing people.

Sergey Goncharov, General Director of the Pyaterochka retail chain:

“Caring for people and participating in the public life of the cities and towns where Pyaterochka operates is an important part of the mission of our retail chain. I am very glad that the collectives of our stores are becoming active members of civil society and can contribute to the positive dynamics of the return of missing people” .

Grigory Sergeev, Director of the Missing People Search Center and Chairman of Liza Alert:

“Any help in finding the missing is very important to us, but cooperation with the Pyaterochka retail chain is of particular importance. Qualified assistance, which can be provided to a lost or disoriented person in a convenience store, allows you to find and save many people. Thanks to the competent actions of even one trained store employee, we significantly save time and resources on searches.”
