History

[edit]

At the end of the XIX century, in Kuznetsk was arrived from Zlatoust younger plumber D.T. Yaroslavtsev. His hobby in a new city became a local history. He starts collecting local history materials on Gornaya Shoriya expeditions and thus forms the basis of the future collection. He keeps the collected items on the second floor of his house at 34 Kartasskaya Street and organizes free access for visitors to them. Yaroslavtsev often acts as a tour guide and talks animatedly about the exhibits of his collection.

In 1922 year Yaroslavtsev applies to the Kuznetsky district with a proposal about to make his materials of city polytechnic museum, which would help to familiarize citizens with the riches of their native land. He becomes an official employee of the Education Department and starts receiving a salary, which became a good addition to his earnings as a mechanic. His collection continues to be replenished geologic, ethnographic, palaeontologic exponents, archival documents, older write books. At this time, it receives paintings and weapons from the house of General P. N. Putilov, which was destroyed in 1919.

But in 1923 year , district stopped financed museum. But without support he doesn't stay there — Yaroslavtsev finds an assistant in the person of his friend, a young and energetic blacksmith G. S. Blynsky. Thanks to his outstanding organizational skills, he makes a great contribution to the accumulation and design of the local history collection.

At the end of 1926, D. T. Yaroslavtsev, while repairing another device, injured his hand with a metal scrap and received blood poisoning, gangrene began. Soon Yaroslavtsev died, and according to his will, since his children were indifferent to his father's passion, his collection was to become the property of the Kuznetsk nine-year-old school, with whose students he warmly communicated in recent years. However, the school refused the museum, and G. S. Blynsky decided to save the collection by moving it to his estate, located at 1 Dostoevsky Street. At first, he placed all the exhibits in a barn, but gradually began to arrange them in departments in his house on the top floor. At the same time, from the stuffed animals that Blynsky hunted, a zoological calving began to form.

In the autumn of 1927, G. S. Blynsky decided to transfer his house with the museum exposition displayed in it to his native city.[1]. And on November 7, the anniversary of the revolution, a solemn transfer of the house and exhibits as a gift to the city took place. The museum was named "Kuznetsk Museum of Local Lore named after the decade of October". This date is considered the foundation day of the museum[2].
