Konstantin Alexandrovich Fedin (1892-1977) - one of the greatest Russian writers of the XX century, who was over half a century in the center of the literary life of Russia.

Writer, art, time - this is the theme of work and life of Fedin, in which he sought to "find a way of time" and to trace its influence on art and creativity

Fedin had the gift of deep reflection. His recordings have preserved priceless evidence of the socio-political changes in the country. The writer sensitively captures the changes and analyzing their impact on the lives of creative organizations, in which he takes an active part in the literary community and the literary work itself.

The exposition for the first time offers a wide audience a glimpse into the "secret of secrets" - unknown blogs by Fedin, his letters to friends and family.

The exhibition features unique materials, most of which are on display for the first time: Fedin diaries, unpublished letters, drafts of works, including unfinished, recordings of different years, rare photos, and other.
