The exhibition presents an oval extendable table on four legs. The Sergeyev-Tsensky family and their guests dined at this table.

The table is covered with a pink linen tablecloth. On the table, there is a green teacup and a saucer — that was Sergeyev-Tsensky’s favorite cup. At the other end of the table is his wife Khristina’s cup and saucer (white-and-brown with a floral pattern and a dedicatory inscription “From the Leonov family from Sevastopol”).

Numerous relatives of the Sergeyev-Tsenskys would often gather around the table. Khristina Sergeyeva-Tsenskaya had many nieces and nephews. The family of her niece Lyolya lived with the Sergeyev-Tsenskys, the niece’s husband Valentin Kozlov was Sergeyev-Tsensky’s secretary, and the couple even named their little son after the writer — Sergey. Nina Muravlyova, the daughter of Khristina Sergeyeva-Tsenskaya’s sister Maria Muravlyova, often came to Alushta from Moscow. The family of Vasily Naumov, a nephew of the writer’s wife, lived in Yalta. Maria Leonova, Khristina Sergeyeva-Tsenskaya’s niece, her husband Yakov and the grand-nephews Misha and Lena lived in Sevastopol.

Sergeyev-Tsensky was a gracious host. At this table, Sergey often read his works to guests and had long conversations with them over a cup of tea. This room enjoyed the presence of such Russian celebrities as Alexey Novikov-Priboy, Korney Chukovsky, Venedict Pushkov, Georgy Stepanov, Mikhail Lokhvitsky, Pyotr Fyodorov, Mikhail Vershinin and many others.

There, in 1955, Sergey Sergeyev-Tsensky read his poems to Samuil Marshak and the English writer and journalist Emrys Hughes, who came to congratulate the writer on his 80th birthday. Colonel Derevyanko told the museum staff the story of how Sergeyev-Tsensky met his guests,
