Description of the attraction
The monument to Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva was unveiled in her homeland on May 27, 2010 in the village of Voskresenskoye. The monument is cast from bronze and is a sculptural image of Arina Rodionovna with a height of 1.6 meters, which stands next to the future genius of Russian poetry. The monument weighs about 500 kg.
The author of the monument is sculptor Valery Shevchenko. It took the sculptor about 2 years to create the monument. The initiator of this project was the satirist Mikhail Zadornov. The monument was erected at the expense of his fund, Zadornov himself personally presented to the public a bronze statue of Arina Rodionovna.
Arina Rodionovna played a significant role in the return of the "primordial Russian language", which makes Pushkin's works relevant to this day. Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva was born on April 21, 1758, not far from Suida, in the village of Lampovo, Petersburg province, Koporsky district. Her parents, Rodion Yakovlev and Lukerya Kirillova, had seven children and were serfs. The real name of Arina Rodionovna is Irina or Irinya. Some authors have suggested that Pushkin's nanny was an Izhorka or a Chukhonka.
As a child, she was a serf of Count F. A. Apraksin, second lieutenant of the Semyonovsky regiment. In 1759, the great-grandfather of Pushkin, Abram Petrovich Hannibal, bought Suida with the surrounding villages and people from Apraksin. Having married the peasant Fyodor Matveyev in 1781, Arina moved to the village of Kobrino to live with her husband, not far from Gatchina.
In 1792, Maria Alekseevna Hannibal took Arina Yakovleva as the nanny of Aleksey's nephew, the son of her brother Mikhail. For impeccable service in 1795, Maria Alekseevna Arina Rodionovna presented a separate hut in Kobrino. In 1797, Arina Rodionovna received her freedom, but, despite this, she chose to stay with her masters and after the birth of Olga, Arina Rodionovna served as a nanny in the Pushkin family together with her namesake or relative Ulyana Yakovleva.
When Maria Alekseevna died, Arina Rodionovna moved to St. Petersburg with the Pushkins in 1818, and for the summer she came with them to Mikhailovskoye. According to legend, Arina Rodionovna often came to her relatives in Voskresenskoye and brought little Sasha Pushkin with her. Arina Rodionovna in 1824-1826 actually shared Pushkin's exile in Mikhailovsky. At this time, Pushkin became especially close to his nanny, listened to and recorded her fairy tales and folk songs. Arina Rodionovna, according to the poet himself, was the prototype of Dubrovsky's nanny, Tatiana's nanny from Eugene Onegin; "Mermaids".
The last time the poet saw his nanny in Mikhailovsky on September 14, 1827 Arina Rodionovna died at the age of 70 after a short illness on July 29, 1828 in the house of Pushkin's sister Olga, in St. Petersburg. Arina Rodionovna was buried at the Smolenskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg. Currently, her grave is lost, but in 1977, a memorial plaque was installed at the entrance to the cemetery.
The monument to the nanny of the great poet installed by Zadornov in Voskresenskoye is not the only object in Russia that perpetuates her memory. So, in the village of Kobrino in the house of Arina Rodionovna in 1974 the Museum "House of Pushkin's nanny" was opened, where the decoration of the village hut of the late 18th century was completely recreated. In addition, the monuments to Arina Rodionovna were installed in the Kaluga region, in Boldino, in Pskov.

Error in the text I understand that too much time has passed, but my eyes still hurt. The monument was opened in the village. Voskresenskoe, Gatchinsky district, not Vyborgsky.
