In the life of Ilya Repin

Repino
1900–1930
Wednesdays at Penaty: Chaliapin, Gorky, Mayakovsky
The estate was eccentric: a studio under a pyramidal lantern roof, a landscape garden with a “Pushkin alley”, a multicoloured Egyptian-style music kiosk and a telescope looking over the Gulf of Finland. Repin gave vegetarian breakfasts, a habit taken from Tolstoy, and lavish Wednesday receptions attended by Chaliapin, Gorky, Glazunov, Kuprin, Polenov, Brodsky, Fechin, Mayakovsky, Rozanov and Bekhterev.
1905
The 1905 revolution: “the year of disaster and shame”
The repression of the popular demonstrations before the Winter Palace in 1905 disillusioned Repin: he called it “the year of disaster and shame”, took part in protests against bloodshed, made sketches of troops firing on a peaceful demonstration, and resigned his teaching post at the Academy to concentrate on painting.
1907
Okonchatelnyy ukhod iz Akademii khudozhestv
После конфликта с учениками написал второе прошение об отставке, сдал академическую квартиру и уехал к Толстому в Ясную Поляну. Причина в заявлении: «малое время, остающееся для собственных работ».
1907
Last trip to Tolstoy: a nine-hour walk
On his last visit to Yasnaya Polyana in 1907, Repin found the 79-year-old Tolstoy in remarkable form: he rode horseback with him, ploughed, cleared paths of brush and hiked through the countryside for nine hours, discussing philosophy and morals all the while.
