Description of the attraction
In the city of Syktyvkar of the Komi Republic, on Kommunisticheskaya Street, 2, there is the Derbenevs Trading House, which is part of the National Museum of the Komi Republic.
The period of the late 19th - early 20th centuries in the city of Ust-Sysolsk was marked by the active construction of buildings specially designed for trade. The construction of such houses was the initiative of nonresident merchants who came to the city, for whom it was extremely unprofitable to rent retail premises in state or private houses. For example, at the beginning of Kommunisticheskaya Street, which at one time was called Trehsvyatitelskaya, somewhat adjacent to the market square, brick buildings began to be built intended for shops of merchants from the city of Veliky Ustyug by the name of Derbenev.
The famous Trading House of the Derbenev family was built at the end of the 19th century and became the most spacious and largest of all existing stores in the city of Ust-Sysolsk. The building was a symmetrical one-storey building with a mezzanine in the central part, which previously housed an office. The house consisted of three large trading halls, which housed a variety of manufactory, haberdashery goods, icons, furniture and much more. Specially trained salesmen were involved in trade. According to the preserved papers of that time, the trade turnover of the first department store in the city before the beginning of the revolution amounted to a rather impressive sum of money.
The central part of the Trading House is two-storey; it was built in the period from 1899 to 1900 and was intended for the needs of the sale of manufactory and haberdashery products of a merchant belonging to the Second Guild, Okhlopkov Fedor Ivanovich.
A few years later, namely in 1906, the store was bought by Ustyug merchants: Grigory, Mikhail and Ivan Derbenevs. During 1906-1907, on both sides of the house, one-story and somewhat elongated along Trekhsvyatitelskaya Street, the so-called "wings", were added, which made it possible to enlarge the premises of sales halls to a greater extent.
In 1918 the Trade House was nationalized, and in the middle of the same year a club called "Star" was located on the first floor of the building. The club existed here until the winter of 1919 and had at its disposal two spacious halls, which housed a cinema, as well as a reading room and a library. The Ust-Sysolsk RCP City Committee is located on the second floor. In the period from 1918 to 1919, the Zvezda clubhouse was a Bolshevik state dedicated to the control of work associated with various kinds of meetings, rallies, concerts and lectures.
During 1922-1935, the city printing house was located in the building of the Derbenevs Trading House. In 1935, a department store was located here. In 1970, a new department store with the same name "Syktyvkar" was built in Syktyvkar, after which a furniture store appeared in the building of the previously existing department store, which was located here until the 1990s. During the period from 1997 to 1998, the building underwent some changes associated with the large-scale restoration work. After that, it was given under the branch of the National Museum of the Komi Republic, namely under the exposition of the ethnographic department.
The last of the expositions of the Ethnography Department of the National Museum was formed in 2002. It was based on a fabulous plot, which was developed on the basis of available folklore materials, according to which the material and cultural culture of the entire people is based on the relationship between a Woman and a Man - its main creators. The exhibitors of this exhibition were: Pyankova T. A., Lipin V. B., Smirnova O. N., artists Burdaev N. P., Samoilov A. V., Dmitriev S., Pavlyuk O.. It was these talented people who decided to move away from the traditional story about the culture of the people through the inherent material side, and showed the presented exposition from the point of view of the rites of the life cycle, which determines the human path from birth to death.
Today, the building of the Trading House of Merchants Derbenevs looks different than in the old days, but it still pleases residents and guests of the city with its unusual architecture, which stands out clearly against the background of the entire street.
