The appearance of the villages of Likino and Dulevo is associated with the times of Ivan the Terrible[2]. According to other sources, the village of Likina was first mentioned in the census books of church lands of the Vladimir district in 1637. At that time there were only 4 courtyards in the village[3].

In 1832, Terenty Kuznetsov, a wealthy peasant from the Gzhel volost, bought land on the Dulevo wasteland near the village of Likino. Kuznetsov founded a porcelain factory on this site. One of the legends says that next to the wasteland there was also a forest, which was looked after by the forester, Ivan Dulev. Allegedly, it was from him that the place began to be called Dulev.

In 1930, Likino and Dulevo merged into one workers' village. On December 1, 1937, the village of Likino-Dulyovo received the status of a city of regional subordination[4].

An excerpt characterizing Likino-Dulyovo

Pierre knew well this large room, divided by columns and an arch, all upholstered in Persian carpets. The part of the room behind the columns, where on one side stood a high mahogany bed under silk curtains, and on the other a huge icon case with images, was red and brightly lit, as churches are lit during evening services. Under the illuminated vestments of the icon case stood a long Voltairean armchair, and on the armchair, covered at the top with snow-white, apparently uncrumpled, pillows, covered to the waist with a bright green blanket, lay the majestic figure of his father, Count Bezukhy, familiar to Pierre, with the same a gray mane of hair, reminiscent of a lion, above a wide forehead and with the same characteristically noble large wrinkles on a beautiful red-yellow face. He lay directly under the images; both of his thick, large hands were pulled out from under the blanket and lay on him. In the right hand, which lay palm down, between the thumb and forefinger, a wax candle was inserted, which, bending over from behind the chair, was held in it by an old servant. Above the chair stood the clergy in their majestic shiny robes, with their long hair hanging out, with lighted candles in their hands, and slowly solemnly served. A little behind them stood two younger princesses, with a scarf in their hands and near their eyes, and in front of them was the eldest, Katish, with an angry and decisive look, never taking her eyes off the icons for a moment, as if she was telling everyone that she was not responsible for herself if looks back. Anna Mikhailovna, with meek sadness and forgiveness on her face, and the unknown lady stood at the door. Prince Vasily stood on the other side of the door, close to the chair, behind a carved velvet chair, which he turned back to himself, and, leaning his left hand with a candle on it, crossed himself with his right, each time raising his eyes upward when he put his fingers to his forehead. His face expressed calm piety and devotion to the will of God. “If you don’t understand these feelings, then so much the worse for you,” his face seemed to say. Behind him stood the adjutant, doctors and male servants; as if in a church, men and women were separated. Everything was silent, people were crossing themselves, only the church reading, restrained, thick bass singing and, in moments of silence, the rearrangement of feet and sighs could be heard. Anna Mikhailovna, with that significant look that showed that she knew what she was doing, walked across the room to Pierre and handed him a candle. He lit it and, amused by his observations of those around him, began to cross himself with the same hand in which the candle was. The younger, rosy-cheeked and laughing Princess Sophie, with a mole, looked at him. She smiled, hid her face in her handkerchief and did not open it for a long time; but, looking at Pierre, she laughed again. She apparently felt unable to look at him without laughing, but she could not resist looking at him, and in order to avoid temptation she quietly moved behind the column. In the middle of the service, the voices of the clergy suddenly fell silent; the clergy said something to each other in a whisper; the old servant, who was holding the count's hand, rose and addressed the ladies. Anna Mikhailovna stepped forward and, bending over the patient, beckoned Lorren to come to her from behind with her finger. The French doctor, standing without a lit candle, leaning against a column, in that respectful pose of a foreigner, which shows that, despite the difference of faith, he understands the full importance of the ritual being performed and even approves of it, with the silent steps of a man with all the strength of his age, approached the patient, took his free hand from the green blanket with his white thin fingers and, turning away, began to feel his pulse and thought. They gave the sick man something to drink, they stirred around him, then again they parted ways, and the service resumed. During this break, Pierre noticed that Prince Vasily came out from behind his chair and, with the same look that showed that he knew what he was doing, and that it was all the worse for others if they did not understand him, did not approach the patient , and, passing by him, he joined the eldest princess and together with her headed deeper into the bedroom, to a high bed under silk curtains. The prince and princess both disappeared from the bed through the back door, but before the end of the service, one after the other they returned to their places. Pierre paid no more attention to this circumstance than he did to all the others, having once and for all decided in his mind that everything that happened before him that evening was so necessary. The sounds of church singing stopped, and the voice of a clergyman was heard, who respectfully congratulated the patient on receiving the sacrament. The patient lay still lifeless and motionless. Everything around him began to stir, steps and whispers were heard, of which Anna Mikhailovna’s whisper stood out most sharply. Pierre heard her say: “We definitely need to move him to the bed, it won’t be possible here... The patient was so surrounded by doctors, princesses and servants that Pierre could no longer see that red-yellow head with a gray mane, which, despite what he had seen, and other faces, did not leave his sight for a moment during the entire service. Pierre guessed from the careful movement of the people surrounding the chair that the dying man was being lifted and carried. “Hold on to my hand, you’ll drop me like this,” he heard the frightened whisper of one of the servants, “from below... there’s another one,” said the voices, and the heavy breathing and stepping of the people’s feet became more hasty, as if the weight they were carrying was beyond their strength . The carriers, among whom was Anna Mikhailovna, drew level with the young man, and for a moment, from behind the backs and backs of the people’s heads, he saw a high, fat, open chest, the fat shoulders of the patient, raised upward by the people holding him under the arms, and a gray-haired, curly, lion's head. This head, with an unusually wide forehead and cheekbones, a beautiful sensual mouth and a majestic cold gaze, was not disfigured by the proximity of death. She was the same as Pierre knew her three months ago, when the count let him go to Petersburg. But this head swayed helplessly from the uneven steps of the carriers, and the cold, indifferent gaze did not know where to stop. Several minutes of fussing around the high bed passed; the people carrying the sick man dispersed. Anna Mikhailovna touched Pierre's hand and told him: “Venez.” [[Go.]The yer approached the bed with her, on which the sick man was laid in a festive pose, apparently related to the sacrament that had just been performed. He lay with his head high on the pillows. His hands were laid out symmetrically on the green silk blanket, palms down. When Pierre approached, the count looked straight at him, but he looked with a look whose meaning and meaning cannot be understood by a person. Either this look said absolutely nothing except that as long as you have eyes, you must look somewhere, or it said too much. Pierre stopped, not knowing what to do, and looked questioningly at his leader Anna Mikhailovna. Anna Mikhailovna made a hasty gesture to him with her eyes, pointing to the patient’s hand and blowing her a kiss with her lips. Pierre, diligently craning his neck so as not to get caught in the blanket, followed her advice and kissed the big-boned and fleshy hand. Not a hand, not a single muscle of the count’s face trembled. Pierre again looked questioningly at Anna Mikhailovna, now asking what he should do. Anna Mikhailovna pointed him with her eyes to the chair that stood next to the bed. Pierre obediently began to sit down on the chair, his eyes continuing to ask whether he had done what was necessary. Anna Mikhailovna nodded her head approvingly. Pierre again assumed the symmetrically naive position of an Egyptian statue, apparently regretting that his clumsy and fat body occupied such a large space, and using all his mental strength to appear as small as possible. He looked at the count. The Count looked at the place where Pierre's face was while he stood. Anna Mikhailovna in her position showed an awareness of the touching importance of this last minute of the meeting between father and son. This lasted two minutes, which seemed like an hour to Pierre. Suddenly a tremor appeared in the large muscles and wrinkles of the count’s face. The shuddering intensified, the beautiful mouth became contorted (only then Pierre realized how close his father was to death), and an indistinct hoarse sound was heard from the contorted mouth. Anna Mikhailovna carefully looked into the patient’s eyes and, trying to guess what he needed, pointed first to Pierre, then to the drink, then in a questioning whisper called Prince Vasily, then pointed to the blanket. The patient's eyes and face showed impatience. He made an effort to look at the servant, who stood relentlessly at the head of the bed. “They want to turn over on the other side,” the servant whispered and stood up to turn the count’s heavy body over to face the wall. Pierre stood up to help the servant. While the count was being turned over, one of his arms fell helplessly back, and he made a vain effort to drag it. Did the count notice the look of horror with which Pierre looked at this lifeless hand, or what other thought flashed through his dying head at that moment, but he looked at the disobedient hand, at the expression of horror in Pierre’s face, again at the hand, and on the face a weak, suffering smile that did not suit his features appeared, expressing a kind of mockery of his own powerlessness. Suddenly, at the sight of this smile, Pierre felt a shudder in his chest, a pinch in his nose, and tears blurred his vision. The patient was turned on his side against the wall. He sighed. “Il est assoupi,” [[He dozed off,] said Anna Mikhailovna, noticing the princess coming to replace her. – Аllons. [[Let's go.]ier left. There was no one else in the reception room except Prince Vasily and the eldest princess, who, sitting under the portrait of Catherine, were animatedly talking about something. As soon as they saw Pierre and his leader, they fell silent. The princess hid something, as it seemed to Pierre, and whispered: “I can’t see this woman.” “Catiche a fait donner du the dans le petit salon,” said Prince Vasily to Anna Mikhailovna. – Allez, ma pauvre Anna Mikhailovna, prenez quelque сhose, autrement vous ne suffirez pas. [[Katish ordered tea to be served in the small living room. You should go, poor Anna Mikhailovna, strengthen yourself, otherwise you won’t be enough.]/p>

The story of our acquaintance with the unusual town of Likino-Dulyovo near Moscow began with an awkward movement and a broken sugar bowl at the dacha, which we replaced with another, more beautiful one, left from our grandmother as a keepsake. And that sugar bowl was too beautiful to be used every day, as it seemed to us. The mark indicated that she came from the famous Dulyovo porcelain factory, located in the town of Likino-Dulyovo near Moscow. Wow, just when we go to the dacha, we always see a sign for Likino-Dulevo. This means that we definitely need to go there, get to know the city, and buy a new sugar bowl (a little simpler).

A little about Likino-Dulyovo Sights in Likino-Dulyovo, what to seeLikinsky Spinning and Weaving Factory (Likinsky Manufactory A.V. Smirnova) Museum of Local Lore Museum of the Dulyovsky Porcelain Factory, Dulyovsky Porcelain Factory Palace of Culture Dulyovsky Porcelain Factory Temple of St. John the Evangelist in Likino-Dulyovo Route via Likino-Dulyovo

The drive from Moscow to Likino-Dulyovo is only about 77 km in an eastern direction, and since our dacha is located in the eastern part of the Moscow region, it is even closer to us. Before going on a short trip, naturally, we rummaged through all our bookshelves, literature from our parents, encyclopedias, and a lot of other sources to learn as much as possible about the city, its sights, and history. Unfortunately, not much information was found. We read that in 1930, as a result of the merger of the two villages of Likino and Dulevo, the village of Likino-Dulevo was formed, which already in 1937 received the status of a city. But we were never able to find out the history of the appearance of these two villages. The only information they could find was that the first mentions of Likino date back to the first half of the 17th century. The history of Dulevo, if we understand correctly, dates back to 1832, when the local, at that time uninhabited lands were bought by Terenty Yakovlevich Kuznetsov, who founded a porcelain factory here. The history of the origin of the names of these two villages also remained a mystery to us, even after communicating with local residents. By the way, it turns out that the correct pronunciation of the city’s name should be with an emphasis on the “o” - Likino-Dulyovo. Unfortunately, we used to pronounce the name of the city incorrectly, but now we are doing our best to correct it. So, we have already been to the city twice and, as time has shown, we have not seen everything there yet. So, obviously, we will come back here. In the meantime, let’s talk about what interesting things we’ve already learned.

What to see in Likino-Dulyovo?

We now remember those trips of ours with particular warmth, and for some reason it is in relation to this city that we cannot dare to say: “the sights of Likino-Dulyovo.” It’s just that, having gotten to know the city a little better, we seem to have rethought the concept of the word “attractions”. After all, each of the places that we were lucky enough to see in Likino-Dulyovo is something more, it is part of the rich history of the city, it is a piece of life, the fate of the townspeople, their ancestors. The only pity is that during these trips we have seen so little of everything.

In general, Likino-Dulyovo has long been considered one of the largest industrial centers in the Moscow region. One of the oldest industries here is, of course, porcelain production. And the porcelain factory, to be honest, was initially our main goal in visiting this city. Only then we did not yet fully realize that this was not all that could be seen in Likino-Dulyovo; even many areas of the city, streets, houses, in our opinion, were in themselves worthy of special attention.

But, for example, did everyone know that many of the comfortable buses on which we now travel around the cities of Russia are produced at the Likino Bus Plant (LiAZ). Since childhood, we remember the legendary LiAZ-677 bus, which for more than 27 years crossed the expanses of the country, which for my friends and I was once a real miracle of technology. In the heat, when the driver removed the engine protection, we carefully studied the operation of the belt and drive system from afar. We happily ran up the steep stairs to the front door of the bus, only to then go down to the back platform of the bus, where we loved to ride so much. For us, this bus is a whole era, pleasant memories from childhood. And imagine our surprise when, upon entering the city, we realized that this bus plant was located right here.

And the history of the plant is of genuine interest. After all, the assembly of buses here began only in 1959. The plant itself was founded in 1933 as the Timber Chemical Experimental Plant for Wood Refinement (LOZOD), which initially did not specialize in the production of buses. At that time, pressed wood, insulation boards, etc. were produced here. Later, the plant was reconstructed and specialized in the production of mechanisms used in the logging and woodworking industries, becoming the Likino Machine-Building Plant (LiMZ). In the 90s, the plant, which had been producing buses since 1959, was going through difficult times and we personally remember well the headlines from the newspapers in which the topic of opening a bankruptcy case for the enterprise was raised. Even for us, then teenagers, it was a real shock. Fortunately, the plant was saved and today advanced production technologies are used here, and modern and, in our opinion, very comfortable buses continue to delight us on the streets of Russian cities.

Likinskaya Spinning and Weaving Factory

Unfortunately, a sadder fate awaited the famous Likinsky Manufactory of A.V. Smirnov, the history of which goes back to 1870 (we hope we didn’t mess anything up), or even to 1850. It was in 1850 that Vasily Sergeevich Smirnov started his own business , already on the basis of which in 1869 his son Alexey Vasilyevich Smirnov opened a workshop for dyeing fabrics, initially hiring only a dozen workers. The end of the 19th century for the factory was marked by a constant increase in the volume of finished products, and by the beginning of the 20th century. Large weaving, spinning and dyeing industries were mastered here, employing about two and a half, not tens or even hundreds, but thousands of people. At Alexey Vasilyevich’s expense, barracks were built for the workers, with electricity, water supply and sewerage installed. In those days, not everyone had such conditions, because there was even a telephone. A hospital and a bathhouse appeared nearby, several schools were opened in Likino and neighboring villages, churches were erected in the Moscow and Vladimir provinces. Later the factory experienced nationalization. By the way, the Likinskaya Manufactory of A.V. Smirnov became the first factory to survive nationalization in 1917. In general, these are just some facts, the most key ones... The history of the Likinskaya Manufactory is extremely rich and, no matter how much we would like, it is simply impossible to fit it within the framework of this notes about the city of Likino-Dulyovo. However, it is impossible to ignore the sad fact that the Likinsky Spinning and Weaving Factory, unfortunately, ceased to exist in the 90s (if we are not mistaken) and nowadays it is becoming more and more difficult to find buildings that were once related to production. Alas, many of them now look more like ruins. And yet, in one of the surviving barracks the Museum of Local Lore is now located:

Local Lore Museum in Likino-Dulyovo

This is one of those places that, in our opinion, is definitely worth visiting in order to touch the history of Likino-Dulyovo, to better understand the life of local residents, workers, and the conditions in which people lived. Of course, there are also exhibitions dedicated to the history of A.V. Smirnov’s Likinsky Manufactory (here you can even get acquainted with the reconstruction of a closet in a working barracks, designed to accommodate three families), and exhibitions dedicated to the legendary Dulyovsky porcelain factory.

Note. This schedule was in effect in August 2018. It is quite possible that it may change over time, so it must be clarified directly with the museum. We visited the museum without an appointment (at the risk of not getting in). We were lucky enough to join the excursion, but we need to understand that we might not be so lucky, so you need to sign up for the excursion in advance. Unfortunately, we forgot to clarify the exact contacts or website of the museum on site, and now we still can’t find them.

Museum of the Dulevo Porcelain Factory, Dulevo Porcelain Factory

As we said at the beginning, the greatest interest to us was the Dulevo Porcelain Factory and, of course, the museum, to which we, by the way, were only 15 minutes late on our first trip. But our next trip was more productive. Of course, we were more thoroughly prepared for it. True, again we didn’t have time to see almost anything in the surrounding area, but that’s another conversation. So…

The Dulevo Porcelain Factory is today the largest factory in Russia producing high-quality porcelain, not only for household porcelain, but also for artistic porcelain. The plant was founded back in 1832, when Terenty Yakovlevich Kuznetsov acquired the then uninhabited lands of Dulevo with the aim of producing porcelain here.

More often on the Internet you can find photos of the factory administration building, but we like this photo of the Dulevo Porcelain Factory better; in our opinion, it better conveys the character of this place.

Next, it’s probably worth telling about how on our second attempt, or rather, on our second trip to Likino-Dulevo, we were lucky enough to visit the porcelain museum, which is located at the factory. Well, if only we knew then, for the first time standing in front of a closed door, an ordinary iron door, how large (with three halls), how interesting the museum is, what a rich history of our country, immortalized in porcelain, this door hides.

It was a fascinating adventure lasting 2 hours (this is with a stated excursion time of 1 hour), a real immersion in the history of the production of porcelain of impeccable quality, dazzling white, painting by such different but equally loving artists, works of talented sculptors, an adventure , into which we were truly captivated by the guide Galina Anatolyevna Krutova (we are endlessly grateful to her for this excursion), with such boundless love and amazing warmth she talked about the history of porcelain production, about the factory, sculptors, artists, about her city, sincerely worried about the future of the factory and the museum, who answered our questions patiently and with such interest. A man of amazing soul, incredibly interesting, truly passionate and filled with optimism!

It was from Galina Anatolyevna, while studying the exhibits in the museum’s author’s hall, that we learned that the first artists at the factory were people who did not receive special education in porcelain painting. Incredibly, but nevertheless, their works were distinguished by their mesmerizing beauty, originality and something definitely eye-catching:

Artist: Mysyagin Vasily Prokofievich

Artist: Konkov Ivan Grigorievich

In fact, sometimes it is impossible to take your eyes off this or that work, each time finding more and more new details, be it the work of the first masters of the plant, be it the works of... yes, all, absolutely all masters.

After all, each work has its own destiny, its own mood, its own character. Each of them contains the soul of a master, sculptor, artist, and we, looking at these works, seem to communicate with them, feel the mood of the master, read the history of that time, often the history of an entire country, era. For example, the “Victory” vase, the author of which was the outstanding sculptor and artist Alexei Georgievich Sotnikov, speaks volumes for itself:

Vase "Victory". Sculptor: Sotnikov A. G.

But something else is surprising - the vase was completed before the end of the Great Patriotic War. And we, not yet knowing this and studying the plots of the panels on the vase, at first mistakenly believed that they were some kind of chronicle of events that had already happened, telling about the Great Victory. And only then Galina Anatolyevna explained that the vase appeared earlier, back in the terrible war years, but how much the sculptor felt and believed in the future, how accurately he was able to predict and describe it in porcelain. Incredible!..

By the way, sculptures by Sotnikov A.G. “Falcon” and “Chicken” won the Grand Prix gold medal at the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1958.

After which it is the falcon that becomes the symbol of the plant, and its contours are still displayed to this day on the stamp of the Dulevo Porcelain Factory, which is placed on the products produced by the factory. Look in the kitchen or in the sideboard, probably on at least one plate or cup, you can find a brand with a falcon.

The porcelain museum also preserves elements of a unique service intended as a gift to Theodore Roosevelt. How did they end up in the museum? It's simple - the service was made in two copies, because it was one of the largest (more than 800 items) and important orders and no accident, error or force majeure should have affected the final result.

In general, this is another interesting story about how the outstanding artist Pyotr Vasilyevich Leonov brought this order to life, how difficult it was to translate all the ideas into reality, why the service was painted in exactly this style, with what painstaking care this order was packaged in order to be delivered to America safe and sound. Insanely interesting.

The works of outstanding sculptors: Asta Davydovna Brzhezitskaya and Galina Dmitrievna Chechulina shocked us to the depths of our souls with their genius, attention to detail, and ability to convey the mood of an entire era. And something shocked us so much in the works of the sculptors, maybe the mood, maybe the attention to detail, or maybe something more, we don’t know for sure, but after the excursion we couldn’t resist and in the store at the factory we bought two as a souvenir for ourselves and a dear friend as a gift. small sculptures by Asta Davydovna and Galina Dmitrievna. Quite small, but with such a mood!..

Sculptures by the authors: Brzhezitskaya Asta Davydovna and Chechulina Galina Dmitrievna

The works of porcelain sculptor Nina Aleksandrovna Malysheva made an equally indelible impression on us. An amazing ability to convey mood in looks, faces, frozen movements, the smallest details of objects, clothing, etc. Moreover, some of Nina Alexandrovna’s works are distinguished by their unusually subtle humor. Well, look, for example, at the sculpture “Portrait from the waist up”:

Some of the sculptures of the outstanding Nina Alexandrovna Malysheva. Right: sculpture “Portrait from the waist up”

You won’t immediately notice that the lady and the gentleman, who seem to be the same height in the frame, achieved this effect in completely different ways - the lady had to sit down, and the gentleman had to stand up... and not just stand, but on a bench

By the way, continuing the theme of humor in Dulevo porcelain sculpture... Galina Anatolyevna paid special attention to this work:

How much emotion there is in it, what grace, significance, what mood in the eyes, how much attention to detail, and even certain expectations can be traced. It would seem!.. But as soon as you change the angle a little, it becomes clear that the hero of the sculpture will obviously soon have big problems

And so we can continue, for what seems like hours, to admire the works of talented artists and sculptors who worked here in the past and who are still creating today. In fact, this is some kind of fantasy, these are several dimensions in one work, this is a whole world! Yes, exactly like that, with an exclamation point, because emotions still overwhelm us and even now, looking through photographs of the exhibits of this museum, every time we find something new for ourselves. After all, all the works, absolutely all, are unique, they are truly brilliant. This is part of our culture, a piece of the history of our country, the Russian character, humor, irony, romance and, of course, the talent of Russian masters!

We read a lot, heard from parents and other people that porcelain from Likino-Dulyovo is distinguished by some special simplicity, dazzling whiteness, airiness, and impeccable execution of the products. Yes, it’s fantastic to hold in your hands an almost weightless porcelain cup, which, when exposed to light, looks like a sheet of paper. But in addition to this, we realized that for us now each such cup is a real work of art, it is someone’s idea, a special look, a piece of the soul. Each sculpture is a story, mood, atmosphere of that era that the author wanted to reflect.

And that excursion to the porcelain museum, which flew by in one breath, these trips to Likino-Dulyovo are now associated with something incredibly bright, light, airy, positive. It's probably hard to describe in words. By the way, the plant is currently undergoing another re-equipment and modernization process; even the façade of the building has undergone major changes for the better compared to our first visit. The museum plans to soon establish a description for the exhibits, and constant improvements are underway. It’s gratifying to see all this, because these are changes for the better, which means there will be production, which means porcelain is not a tribute to fashion at all, it’s something more, as it seems to us, to some extent, harmoniously connecting our past and present in one whole.

And in conclusion, better than any words, as Galina Anatolyevna rightly drew attention to another brilliant work, this sculpture can tell about the work of the porcelain factory in Likino-Dulyovo:

Note: we pre-registered for an excursion to this museum so that it would not be painfully disappointing to come from afar, as happened to us the first time, and understand that nothing might work out that day.

Palace of Culture Dulevo Porcelain Factory

To the north of the porcelain factory is the building of the Palace of Culture, built in 1930 and currently an architectural monument of the Soviet avant-garde.

By the way, many people have probably seen the unusual Melnikov House in Moscow, which is located in Krivoarbatsky Lane. So, the building of the Palace of Culture in Likino-Dulyovo was also built according to the design of Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov and, by the way, as far as we understand, it is the only building erected according to the designs of an outstanding architect outside the city of Moscow.

Temple of St. John the Evangelist

The Church of St. John the Evangelist in Likino-Dulyovo is located between the cultural center and the porcelain factory. The impressive architecture of the temple first of all struck us with the complex history of its appearance and miraculous salvation, because 79 years passed from the moment the drawings were signed in April 1912 until the first prayer service in the temple in the spring of 1991. These were extremely difficult years; construction of the temple was stopped in 1917, despite the fact that it was not completely completed. Later, to the greatest sorrow, the temple was adapted into a dormitory with the installation of heating stoves and holes for chimneys, and then a warehouse was built in the church. But the main tragedy could have been the complete destruction of the temple. Plans to undermine it were actively hatched, but they were not destined to come true, largely due to the fact that in the construction of the stone church the latest technologies at that time were used using reinforced concrete pouring, which promised big problems during demolition and, fortunately, the temple was left in peace. Many older residents are now ready to talk for hours about the difficult history of the construction of the temple, how its restoration began at the end of the last century, how “the whole world” removed garbage, how a cross was cast at a local bus factory, how not very long ago (we remember from the words local resident, it seems, in 2012) construction of the bell tower began. In fact, even a day is not enough to retell all the events that once took place here.

Church of St. John the Evangelist in Likino-Dulyovo

We recently found more detailed information on the website of the Temple of St. John the Evangelist in Likino-Dulyovo in the “History of the Temple” section, having learned that the history of the construction of the stone temple in Likino-Dulyovo was preceded by the transfer of a wooden church from the neighboring village of Gora. There we also learned about the hardships, unbending character and incredible unity of factory workers and local residents, with whose fate, sometimes very difficult, is intertwined with the history of the construction of the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Likino-Dulevo.

And on the second trip we turned off the main road a little deeper and just walked (but without a camera, because the battery was dead) along the streets of the city with old houses, met my grandfather, who told us many interesting stories about the city. He even invited us for tea, but we were forced to refuse, because... there was still a way back ahead. How hospitable the people are here!

There are many places we haven’t been to yet in Likino-Dulyovo, and so many things we haven’t seen yet. Well, for example, we learned that the village of Kudykino is adjacent to the city, and the village of Gora is adjacent to it. Right, they say, there is a road sign for Kudykino | Mountain. Doesn't remind you of anything? Maybe these are the people who come here who, when asked “Where are you going?” They answer sarcastically: “To Kudykina Mountain”?! By the way, the grandfather with whom we talked then said: “And on Kudykina Gora...”. All this is interesting!.. And the places here are special.

It’s interesting that when we first started thinking about a trip to Likino-Dulyovo, we just wanted to buy a sugar bowl and learn more about the famous porcelain factory. By the way, we bought the sugar bowl in the substandard department. The sugar bowl is very beautiful, but does not have its own lid; the original lid was apparently lost. But now we have it, not just beautiful, but also the only one of its kind - there are multi-colored butterflies and flowers on the bottom, and yellow maple leaves on the lid. Oh, yes, we also knew that Nosovikhinskoye Highway ends in Likino-Dulyovo. True, we didn’t know at all that it was better to enter the city not through the crossing, which ends at Nosovikhinskoye Highway, smoothly flowing into Leninsky Prospect, where we stood motionless for more than 40 minutes for the first time, letting some freight trains pass, but by turning 10 km earlier at the turn to Orekhovo-Zuevo, then follow the signs to Likino-Dulevo or follow the navigator. We read somewhere that this is an ordinary industrial city. But it didn’t seem so to us; for us now Likino-Dulyovo is far from ordinary, yes, industrial, but not at all an ordinary city. This is a city with its own history, atmosphere, sometimes unusual architecture, interesting museums and amazing people. And most importantly, there is something inexplicable here that gives us confidence that we will definitely return here again!

Route through Likino-Dulyovo

We have planned a small two-day weekend route: Gzhel - Pavlovsky Posad - Likino-Dulyovo - one of the cities: Gus Khrustalny, Vladimir or Suzdal . So far, due to circumstances, it has not been possible to implement it. But initially we planned to find a hotel and stay overnight not far from Likino-Dulyovo, in order to get to know the surroundings of the city better and not have to return home on the way to the next city. Moreover, many hotel booking systems provide this opportunity. So, for example, you can find and book a hotel in the vicinity of Likino-Dulevo on Booking.com >>

Well, we sincerely hope that we will be able to implement such a route, or at least part of it, someday. At a minimum, I would like to return to this unusual city again someday and continue getting to know it and its surroundings. After all, at least we haven’t yet been on a tour of the porcelain factory itself, haven’t observed the process of producing porcelain masterpieces, we still haven’t gone to “Kudykina Gora”, we haven’t seen so much yet!..
