The name of Sergey Antonovich Klychkov remained in the shadows for a long time. His friend Sergey Yesenin called him "a truly beautiful people's poet" and dedicated the poem "I do not regret, I do not call, I do not cry..." to him. Anna Akhmatova wrote about his blue eyes and referred to him as "the prince Myshkin of Russian poetry." Klychkov had romantic relationships with poetesses Lyubov Stalitsa and Marina Tsvetaeva, and his wife Evgenia Lobova was considered the first beauty of Moscow.

Sergey Klychkov was born in 1889 in the village of Dubrovki near Taldom. His mother, the beautiful Fekla, gave birth to him in the forest while picking raspberries on the eve of Sergius' day. She brought home not berries, but newborn Seryozha, hiding him from neighbors and even from his father to avoid the evil eye. Seryozha's childhood was surrounded by mysticism. The Klychkov family often spoke of encounters with forest spirits or how his mother-in-law came from the other world to milk the cow. He had a fairy-tale nanny, like Pushkin, who helped him master the figurative and folk Russian language.

Sergey studied in Taldom, then graduated from the Moscow Fidler School and entered Moscow University, where his classmate was Boris Pasternak. During this time, he began writing poetry, but due to financial difficulties and unrequited love, he was on the brink of despair. Fate brought him together with Modest Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who helped publish his first collection of poems and funded a trip to Italy.

In Klychkov's homeland, in the village of Dubrovki, there has been a museum named after him for over twenty years, located in his family home. The estate was built by the poet's parents in the late 19th century. His father, Anton Nikitich, was an Old Believer and made bricks for the construction himself. In front of the house, an apple orchard was planted, and a path of white lilacs led to the porch. In a three-story annex, there was a creative space where Klychkov drew inspiration.

In the living room, decorated with stucco and arches, the Klychkov family gathered to listen to Sergey read Pushkin, Gogol, his own works, or play the harmonium.

Sergey Klychkov is known not only as a poet. In 1925, his first novel "The Sugar German" was published, in which national mythology intertwines with the problems of the Soviet village. This displeased the Soviet authorities, and a campaign against Klychkov began. On October 8, 1937, he was executed. Nadezhda Mandelstam claimed that he was killed by an investigator, and Osip Mandelstam, upon learning of his death, said that after this, people in Moscow became less expressive.

In the 1920s, the Klychkovs left their native village, and their house passed into the ownership of a state farm. The pond dug by the poet's father turned into a puddle, and the gazebo on the island disappeared. Over time, the estate changed, and the main house, where Yesenin and Prishvin visited, became a boarding school for children with disabilities.

On July 19, 1992, the House-Museum of S.A. Klychkov opened to visitors. Exhibits and biographical information about the poet were collected bit by bit. On the second and third floors of the museum, there is an exhibition dedicated to Klychkov's life and work. Here, household and ethnographic items, icons from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lifetime editions and manuscripts of the poet are collected, and in the memorial room, the belongings and books of the Klychkov family.

Sergey Klychkov left a gift inscription to his friend Pyotr Zhurov, which became prophetic: "The secret may not be revealed, but once revealed, it cannot perish and disappear."
