Memorial House-Museum of A. S. Grin
The house-museum of A. S. Green in Stary Krym is included, this is the house in which he spent recent months Alexander Stepanovich Grin (1880–1932), a wonderful prose writer, mystic and romantic, lived his life, and after that his widow Nina Nikolaevna lived, who preserved for us the touching atmosphere of modest rooms - witnesses of tragic events.
The Greens moved to Stary Krym from Feodosia in November 1930. They lived in rented apartments. Once Alexander Stepanovich said: "Ninusha, we should change our apartment. I'm tired of this dark corner, I want space for my eyes ...".
In June 1932, Nina Nikolaevna exchanged her gold watch for a house, which the writer bought and presented to her beloved in 1927, having received an advance payment for the collected works sold to Wolfson. Later, Green's widow recalled: "And the watch gave me the opportunity to make the last gift to Alexander Stepanovich - to let him die in his house, which he dreamed about for so long and fruitlessly and enjoyed so briefly."
In Stary Krym, Green completed his autobiographical essays and began writing the novel "Touchless". But the novel was not completed - the writer was seriously ill and soon died. On his grave, in the city cemetery, next to the tombstone - as a monument to a dream - there is a figure of a woman running on the waves (sculptor T. Gagarina).
Through the efforts of Nina Nikolaevna in 1934, a memorial room for A. S. Green was opened in this house, but she dreamed of state museum. In 1940, a letter came from the People's Commissariat of Education, in which consent was given to the creation of the museum and the date of its opening was set - on the 10th anniversary of the writer's death.
In the autumn of 1941, the German army entered Stary Krym, and in 1945 Grin's widow was arrested and exiled. The house was left unattended. In 1956, Nina Nikolaevna returned to Stary Krym, finding other people's tenants in the house and terrible devastation.
The struggle began to return home and create in it memorial museum. The widow was supported by the writers of Russia and Ukraine. In March 1960, Nina Nikolaevna wrote in a letter to M. Novikova: "... The key and the warrant for the house are in my hands ... Now I will make Alexander Stepanovich's corner for myself, for people, for the future."
In May 1960, the memorial room of the writer was opened, in 1964 the house became a branch of Feodosia local history museum, in 1971 it was transferred to the Feodosia Literary and Memorial Museum of A. S. Grin, then included in the Stary Krym reserve. Later it becomes a branch of the Historical and Literary Museum, and since 2001 it has been part of the Cimmeria M.A. Voloshin Reserve.
To save the last shelter of the beloved writer, K. G. Paustovsky, whose museum is now located on the same street as Grinovsky, did a lot in his time. "Green's romance was simple, cheerful, brilliant. It aroused in people the desire for a varied life, full of risk and a sense of high, a life characteristic of explorers, sailors and travelers," he wrote in the story "The Black Sea".
– memorial house-museum famous writer Alexander Sergeevich Green (Grinevsky), where the writer lived in 1924-1929 in,. It opened in 1970, 4 years after the decision to create it was made. Worked on it famous artist and architect Savva Brodsky.
In part, the museum is a restored life of the writer, on the other hand, the entourage largely refers to the works. Anchor at oak doors, rooms stylized as ship cabins and holds from stories Alexandra Green. Each room has its own name.
In the "Country of Greenland" there is a relief map-panel on the wall, which is recreated according to the writer's work with the greatest accuracy. "Hold Frigate" helps to feel more fully maritime theme: woven shrouds soaked in the sea, silhouettes of ships on the walls, lanterns near the ceiling, and a portrait of the writer hangs above the door. The “Cabin of Wanderings” will tell about the youth of Alexander, about what most influenced his life and mind in the language of the exhibits. The "clipper" room is so named because of the beautiful layout of the sailing clipper "Aurora" from "Reno Island" hanging on the wall, the author of the model is Igor Rodionov. This has its significance, because this ship was the first that Green described in his works. The "Rostral Room" can be very surprising - the bow of the ship floats right through the wall at the visitors - a rostrum, from the bowsprit of which hangs a model of the ship "Secret" with scarlet sails. The last room - "Captain's Cabin" - as if recreated from the novel "Running on the Waves".
This is a very popular place in the artistic environment, not only writers, but also painters, musicians hold their meetings in the rooms of the museum, temporary exhibitions and expositions are created, there are also permanent ones, for example, “Green and Modernity”.

"Alexander Grin is a sunny writer and, despite a difficult fate, happy, because through all his works a deep and bright faith in a person, in good beginnings triumphantly passes human soul, faith in love, friendship, fidelity and the feasibility of a dream, wrote Vera Ketlinskaya. 
I love watching very young people reading for the first time " Scarlet Sails or stories like "Life of Gnor". When a young reader breaks away from the last line, it is nice to see a special expression of bright shock on his face, a glint of eyes that have just looked deep, deep into the world of human feelings.

But until the end of his days, Green remained an obsessed dreamer who retained purity of feelings, kind eyes and a childish smile, Konstantin Paustovsky wrote in his article "The Life of Alexander Green": "... Green created in his books a world of cheerful and courageous people, a beautiful land, full of fragrant thickets and sun, an uncharted land, and amazing events head spinning like a sip of wine. The world in which Green's heroes live may seem unreal only to a person who is poor in spirit. 
Anyone who has experienced a slight dizziness from the very first breath of the salty and warm air of the sea coasts will immediately feel the authenticity of Green's landscape, the wide breathing of Green's countries. "The quiet sunny Feodosia, which he called" the city of gentle watercolor tones, became such a promised country for Alexander Grin. The writer forever fell in love with the bizarre outlines of the surrounding mountains, the azure sea off the coast. This love nourished his work, gave birth to original Green stories. He moved to the Crimea in May 1924. "He wanted to live in silence, closer to his beloved sea," Paustovsky wrote. This act of Green reflected the true instinct of the writer - seaside life was that real breeding ground that gave him the opportunity to invent his stories.

The surrounding walnut groves and the surrounding mountains, covered with forests, gushing from the ground, charmed Alexander Grin, whose health was undermined by a serious incurable disease. The writer moves to this "city of flowers, silence and ruins" in 1930. Here he continues what he started in Feodosia " autobiographical story", about which one of the researchers of Green's work, V. Vikhrov, wrote: "When you read this confession of a suffering soul, with difficulty, only under the pressure of facts, you believe that the same hand wrote stories about sailors and travelers that infect with their love of life, " Scarlet Sails", "shining world"...".

N. Green). 
In the memorial room of Green's house-museum in Stary Krym, the original modest furnishings of its owner are carefully preserved: a simple iron bed with a badger skin on the floor instead of a carpet, a narrow couch and a card table with green worn cloth, on the wall is a portrait of the beloved writer Edgar Allan Poe.

Alexander Grin is a sunny writer and, despite a difficult fate, happy, because deep and bright faith in a person, in the good beginnings of the human soul, faith in love, friendship, fidelity and the feasibility of a dream triumphantly passes through all his works.

He taught me courage and the joy of life.

When the days start gathering dust and the colors fade, I take Green. I open it on any page. So in the spring wipe the windows in the house. Everything becomes light, bright, everything mysteriously excites again, as in childhood.
D. Granin.
In Stary Krym we were at Green's house. It was white in a dense garden overgrown with grass with fluffy rims... The little house was tidied up and silent... We did not talk, in spite of many thoughts, and with the greatest excitement looked around the harsh shelter of a man who had the gift of powerful and pure imagination.
