The Home Reclaimed
documentary video project by Ivan Starostin Studio
The history of the Ivanovka estate begins in the 1750s. While Ivanovka was named after its founder, Ivan Alexandrovich Satin, its architectural appearance and its very essence began to take shape under his son, Alexander Ivanovich Satin. This estate would eventually grow into the family nest and creative wellspring of the great Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff; his hearth and his true Home. But between 1919 and 1921, it became the epicenter of a peasant uprising, which completely erased it off the map.
The site where the lost Home of the Satin and Rachmaninoff families had once stood was turned into the local school grounds. And in 1971, a teacher named Alexander Ivanovich Yermakov came to work at the Ivanovka school. Thanks for half a century of hard work undertaken by Alexander Yermakov, the Rachmaninoff Estate is back: both a House and a Home, which has not lost its authentic energy and remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists and performers to this day.
