At the end of 1911 and the beginning of 1912, the poetess Marina Tsvetaeva lived in this house. The six-story apartment building on Sivtsev Vrazhka was built in 1911 according to the design of architect Nikolai Ivanovich Zherikhov for the owner Zaychenko. Spacious and comfortable apartments were equipped here for rent.

Marina Tsvetaeva settled in one of these apartments, No. 11, on the sixth floor, in early October 1911, together with her fiancé Sergey Efron and his sisters Vera and Lilia. She moved here from her parents' house on Trifonov Lane and lived here for several months before her wedding and departure on her honeymoon.

"I have a large window with a view of the Kremlin. In the evening, I lie on the windowsill and look at the lights of the houses and the dark silhouettes of the towers. Our apartment has come to life. My room is dark, heavy, absurd, and dear. A large bookshelf, a large writing desk, a large sofa, everything is hefty and cumbersome. On the floor, a globe and a trunk that never leaves me, along with suitcases."

At this time, Marina Tsvetaeva was gaining popularity as a poet. Her second collection of poems, "The Magic Lantern," was being prepared for release, and in January 1912, she won a nationwide poetry competition, receiving a gold medal for the best poem based on lines by Pushkin.

Life in the apartment was lively: guests often gathered here, noisy feasts full of jokes and mystifications were held, which both the hosts and their friends enjoyed. The apartment was nicknamed "the chatterbox," and they themselves were called "the chatterers," a nickname that had stuck with them since the summer when they had a great time in Koktebel, at the house of poet Maximilian Voloshin.

Voloshin visited them several times in Sivtsev Vrazhka when he came to Moscow in February 1912, just as Marina Tsvetaeva's second book of poems was published, which she proudly gifted to him. His mother, Elena Ottobaldovna Voloshina, or Pra, as she was called by close ones, often visited this apartment and was the soul of the cheerful "chatterer" society. In the spring of 1912, shortly after the wedding, Marina Tsvetaeva and Sergey Efron left for Europe. Some time later, Sergey Efron's sisters also left the apartment. Today, the house continues to be residential and is a cultural heritage site, as one of the buildings associated with the life and work of the outstanding Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva. A commemorative plaque is installed on the house.
