🏛 Marina Tsvetaeva's Stone

Таруса, ул. Ефремова, берег Оки

A boulder on the high bank of the Oka inscribed “Marina Tsvetaeva would like to lie here”, the fulfilment of her wish from the essay “Khlystovki”.

The first stone was put up in 1962 with his own stipend by a Kyiv philology student, Semyon Ostrovsky; it stood for just over a week.
That stone was removed, partly at the wish of the poet's daughter Ariadna Efron; later pieces of it were made into steps to the house of a Tarusa resident.
The present stone, of Tarusa dolomite, was installed on 9 October 1988.
The stone stands below the Musatov slope, where the artist Viktor Borisov-Musatov is buried.
Tsvetaeva herself was buried in Yelabuga on 2 September 1941; the exact location of her grave is unknown.
