A lecture about the Bakhrushin dynasty - an opportunity to learn about the history of Moscow through the fate of one merchant family. Patrons, industrialists, and founders of the theater museum left a deep mark in the cultural memory of the city. The Bakhrushin family occupies a special place in the history of Moscow. Their story begins with the Kasimov Tatars, who converted to Christianity in the 16th century, and in the 19th century, the dynasty actively developed textile production in the capital. Alexei Fyodorovich Bakhrushin opened a glove factory and then a leather factory in the Zamoskvorechye area. After his death, the business was continued by his three sons, who created the "Partnership of Leather and Wool Manufacturing of Alexei Bakhrushin and Sons." However, the name Bakhrushin is known not only in a business context. The brothers were generous patrons. Their money helped build a hospital for the seriously ill, a children's orphanage, and a house of cheap apartments. Alexander Alexeyevich Bakhrushin, one of the most famous representatives of the family, founded a unique theater museum, which today bears his name and remains one of the largest repositories of memory about the performing arts in Russia. At the lecture by historian and Moscow expert Evgeny Melekhov, guests will learn how the Bakhrushin dynasty lived, what inspired them, and what traces they left in the appearance of old Moscow. This is a story not only about a specific family but also about the time in which they lived: an era when entrepreneurship and philanthropy went hand in hand, shaping the cultural landscape of the capital.
