In May 1936, Konstantin Fedin (1892–1977) was given a summer house in Peredelkino, a writer’s village located in Moscow Region. He promptly moved from Leningrad, where he was living and working at the time. The wet climate was bad for the writer’s health, as he had suffered a bout of tuberculosis. So moving to a dacha near Moscow turned out to be a real salvation for the writer.

​​Maxim Gorky’s idea to create a summer residence for writers near Moscow was supported by the government, and in 1935, the most famous writers of the time began to gather in Peredelkino. 

Fedin’s office overlooked the garden, beyond which was a view of the pine forest that was shared by each land lot. Adjacent to the study was a small living room with a fireplace.
