IPRIM students visited Chaliapin Dacha in Kislovodsk. This mansion never belonged to Fedor Chaliapin, but still became known as “Shalyapinsky” – F. Chaliapin stayed in it more than once when he came to Kislovodsk with concerts.

Throughout the tour, Chaliapin’s unique voice sounded in the museum.

Students were able to appreciate the architectural features of the building, as well as see the interior of the house. From the story of the guide, students learned interesting facts about the life of Chaliapin and his children, their fate not only at home, but also abroad.
