Ovsyanka village
The quiet village of Ovsyanka is
located near Krasnoyarsk. It is worth coming here for the cultural and natural
component. The village is famous for the fact that Viktor Petrovich Astafiev, a
Siberian writer, a man of a big soul and a strong spirit, was born and lived
here, which can also be seen in his works. There is a museum complex dedicated
to Viktor Petrovich in the village, it includes the writer's house-museum,
where the authentic furnishings and personal belongings are pserved, as well
as the museum of the story "The Last Bow", which Astafyev had been
writing for over 30 years. This museum is also called "The House of
Grandmother Catherine". M. Gorbachev, B. Yeltsin, V. Putin, A.
Solzhenitsyn, N. Mikhalkov and other famous people visited this village house.
It is worth starting the excursion with it.
The memorial complex is a branch
of the Krasnoyarsk Museum of Local Lore, on the website of which you can find

overhead passage. It is about 10 minutes from the drop-off point to the
museums. On the way, you will see signs and a plan of the museum complex
and you will definitely not pass by. There are no sidewalks in the village, but
there are not many cars either. Be careful.

Where
to have a snack?
We recommend taking a snack with
you as there are no cafes or coffee shops in the village. But! There is a
Mechta shop and a bakery where you can buy freshly baked pies and buns with
different types of stuffing, as well as several types of brown bread (even
fruit), which you can take home with you. You can find a bakery by smell. But
we still give the address: the village of Ovsyanka, st. Naberezhnaya, 71. The
same descent to the river is just a few meters away.
