Not far from the Borodino Bridge, almost on Rostov Embankment, there is a small cozy estate where Decembrist Mikhail Alexandrovich Bestuzhev returned after his exile. He passed away here in 1871.

Bestuzhev's house is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. It is a good example of Empire architecture, built after the fire, no earlier than 1820, by merchant Y.F. Kikin. The restrained decoration of the facade, even a certain severity, is enlivened by stucco wreaths on the pediment and four Ionic pilasters on the second wooden floor.

Historian of Moscow Sergey Romanyuk believed that the house to which Bestuzhev returned was nearby and has not survived, but many Moscow scholars hold the opposite opinion.

The house, reconstructed in 1913, plays an important role in shaping the panorama of the development of 7th Rostovsky Lane and Rostov Embankment. Its significance in the compositional and planning structure of the block and property is undeniable. The protection of the monument includes the "volumetric-spatial composition of the two-story mixed (lower stone, upper wooden) building," the design of the facades, the spatial-planning structure of the interiors, the staircase from 1913, and other valuable elements of the building.

Mikhail Alexandrovich Bestuzhev, staff captain of the Life Guards Moscow Regiment, settled here in 1867. During the Decembrist uprising, he led the third company of the Moscow regiment to Senate Square. Arrested on December 14, 1825, he was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress, then in Shlisselburg, and sent to Siberia. In exile, he learned several European languages, mastered crafts and skills in shoemaking and goldsmithing, understood clocks, made book bindings, and worked on a lathe. He invented and established the production of horse-drawn carriages, which were called "sidейка" in Transbaikalia.

Together with his brother Nikolai, he befriended the Hambo Lama of the Gusinoozersky Datsan, Gomboev, which led to the creation of a treatise on Buddhism, numerous memoirs, stories, and tales by Bestuzhev.

After the death of his wife in 1867, Mikhail Bestuzhev returned to Moscow. His children died at a young age. The Decembrist himself did not live long in Moscow, falling victim to cholera and passing away on June 22, 1871. His grave is located at Vagan'kovskoe Cemetery.

During the Soviet era, artists from the "Russian Souvenir" combine worked in the house. In the 1990s, the house passed to the "Russian Gold" concern and was restored. Currently, the property is occupied by the National Fund for Development and International Integration.
