Exactly two hundred years later, on October 24, 2026, and at exactly twelve o'clock, at the initiative of our coordinator Ksenia Ochkina, the participants of the public movement of Arkhindzor and everyone who wanted started to read "Boris Godunov" at the house of the Vonvitinovs (Kriokolnyi Lane, 4). Then, on October 12 (old style) 1826, about forty people gathered. Readings of the play took place in the past, but in a limited circle of Pushkin's close friends and acquaintances. "It is impossible to convey the impact this reading had on all of us," Pogodin continues. - The reading is over. We looked at each other for a long time and then hurried to Pushkin. Hugs began, noise arose, laughter was heard, tears flowed, blessings." In commemoration of the first public reading of "Boris Godunov" exactly one hundred years later, on October 24, 1926, in the same Venvitinov house, actors from the Mali Theater read Pushkin's play. It was a closed meeting of the Pushkin Committee of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature at Moscow University. The organizer of the readings was university professor, famous literary critic and Pushkin researcher Lev Samoilovich Ginzburg, and the place of the reading was his brother's apartment. The owner's son Sasha, later the famous bard Alexander Galich, recalled: "... The festive meeting took place not just for nothing, but in our apartment - in one of those four apartments that were fenced off from the hall of the Venvitinovsky house. And although our apartment consisted of three whole rooms, the rooms were very small, and I still can't imagine how sixty people lived in them." We tried to keep the tradition, even though we remained standing in the street, under the memorial plaque and in the yard, divided by a fence. No one came out of the long-vacant house and did not offer to enter. We hope it will be different in a hundred years.
