Razdorsk Ethnographic Museum-Reserve

The Razdorsk Ethnographic Museum-Reserve is a museum-preserve in the village of Razdorskaya.

History

The origins of the museum-reserve belong to 1953, when the school museum of local history was founded by the teacher of the secondary school L.T. Agarkov.

On February 25, 1988, with the support of the writer Anatoly Veniaminovich Kalinin, the Razdorsk Ethnographic Museum-Reserve was established by the decree of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR.[1] Later, the funds of the local history museum were also transferred to the ethnographic museum-reserve.

The museum has significant collections reflecting the culture and way of life of the peoples who inhabited the territory of the museum-reserve, the village of Razdorskaya and its Pukhlyakovskiy Cossack yurt farm, and Konygin with the adjoining historical and natural landscapes, as well as the islands Porechny and Gostevoy, from the most ancient to the present time. The territory of the Razdorsky Museum-Reserve is 3,650 hectares.[2]

Stanitsa Razdorska is considered the first capital of the Don Cossacks, which is first mentioned in August 1571. Until 1622, it was the center of the Don army. Numerous monuments of different historical epochs have been found on this territory: the Neolithic, the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the Middle Ages. In the village, scientists found traces of the residence of various peoples, such as Cimmerians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, Goths, Huns, Khazars, Polovtsians and Mongols.[3]. During archaeological research in 1994, burials of various ancient cultures were found on the territory of the reserve: pit, catacomb, log, as well as Saltovo-Mayak culture (culture of the Khazar Khaganate). Previously, researchers discovered a Bulgarian burial.

On the Puhljakowski farm, located five kilometers from Razdorov, in 1976 an art gallery was opened, in which the canvases of Russian artists are represented: I.I. Krylova, E.E. Lanceray, V.A. Ovechkin, V.K. Nechitailo.[3]

The Konygin farm (1788), which is located seven kilometers from the village of Razdorovskaya, is a typical Cossack settlement with preserved ancient buildings, the Maidan square and the Nativity-Bogoroditskaya church, built in 1879.

Razdorskiy town was located on the island of Porechny (662 hectares) in the XVI century, surrounded by a palisade, which is now lost.

Razdory is a unique museum in Russia.

The basic and scientific-auxiliary funds are distributed among the collections: painting, graphic arts, sculpture, numismatics, bonistic, faleristics, archeology, metal, wood and furniture, ceramics and glass, cloth, leather and fur, photographs, products of applied art, written sources.[4][5][6]
