Hunting bag

The leather hunting bag belonged to Ivan Bunin, in 1920 he took it with him from Russia to France. Researchers could not determine, whether he used it according to its intended purpose while being abroad. This item is also remarkable for its sentimental value: for many years it was a symbol of Bunin’s attachment to his Motherland.

For the writer, his passion for hunting was very important: since childhood, he often went hunting with his father. This fascination with hunting taught the future writer to be sensitive to details and to better understand nature. Vera Bunina wrote about his father Alexey Nikolaevich:

#9
He had a legash [legash is a colloquial name for gundogs], scent hounds, sighthounds. He hunted a lot, he was the best shooter in the area: if you throw a 20-kopeck coin in the air, he could hit it.

Bunin admired his father and cherished these memories of his childhood. Later, many Bunin’s books included descriptions of hunting.

In the story ‘Antonovka Apples’, he described the emotions from this activity:
#8
I can still feel how greedily and capaciously the young chest breathed in the cold air of a clear and damp day in the evening, when, it happened, you go with a noisy gang of Arseny Semyonitch, excited by the musical din of dogs thrown in the black forest <…> You ride an evil, strong and squat ‘Kirgiz’ (Kirgiz horse is a traditional breed of small horse from Kyrgyzstan), tightly restraining it with the reins, and you feel almost merged with it. He snorts, asks for a trot, rustles his hooves noisily on the deep and light carpets of black crumbling foliage, and each sound is echoing in the empty, damp and fresh forest.’
Ivan Bunin “Antonovka Apples”

After Ivan Bunin’s death, the hunting bag ended up in the hands of a family friend and writer — Natalia Kodrianskaya. Together with several other Bunin’s items, she gave it to Konstantin Paustovsky, who greatly appreciated Bunin’s talent, and the bag was returned to Russia. For many years it was hanged over Paustovsky’s desk, and after his death, the writer’s stepdaughter Galina Arbuzova donated it to the Ivan Nikitin House-Museum.

Galina Arbuzova is known as a literary critic, screenwriter, curator of the Konstantin Paustovsky Memorial House-Museum in Tarusa. She donated other Bunin’s memorabilia to the Voronezh Regional Literary Museum of I.S. Nikitin.
