Family firm reaches new level
Savva Vasilyevich founded a weaving factory in Moscow in 1825. At first, business went well, but after the Crimean War (1853–1856) it had to be closed. In 1830, Morozov opened a factory in Bogorodsk (now the city of Noginsk). There was also a dyeing and bleaching plant, as well as an office where the craftsmen were given yarn and received ready-made fabric from them.
In 1838, Morozov Sr. opened the Nikolskaya paper-spinning and mechanical weaving factory, and a little later a spinning building appeared next to the latter. Around the same time, the entrepreneur began to have health problems, and he gradually began to transfer his business to his sons. In 1842, Zakhar Morozov began managing the Bogorodsky establishment - he moved it to the village of Glukhovo, and five years later he built a mechanical weaving factory there. In the same year, the merchant family received hereditary honorary citizenship.
In 1855, Zakhar Savvich created the share partnership “Company of Bogorodsko-Glukhovskaya Manufactory”, and in 1860 the share trading house “Savva Morozov with Sons” was founded - the family business reached a new level. Savva Vasilyevich died that same year.

Savva the Second and love in spite of
Maria Fedorovna had a difficult relationship with her son Savva, named after his grandfather. The guy's family was considered crazy. He refused the title of nobility, which the king himself wanted to bestow on him. Ignoring the discontent of his parents, at the age of 26 he married Zinaida Morozova, the ex-wife of his own cousin, Sergei Vikulovich. A scandal broke out: a divorced woman, and a relative at that! But Savva Timofeevich was adamant. As a wedding gift, he built a neo-Gothic mansion for his beloved on Spiridonovka. The architectural project was carried out by Fyodor Shekhtel, and the interior design was carried out by the then little-known Mikhail Vrubel. Balls, social receptions, dinner parties - with the light hand of the hostess, fun always reigned in this house.
Shekhtel's masterpiece: experts confirmed the value of Savva Morozov's mansion on Spiridonovka
Savva Morozov is known primarily as a philanthropist. He generously helped the Moscow Art Theater, sparing no expense on its development. For example, a building was built on Kamergersky Lane with Morozov’s money. His brother Sergei also gave two thousand rubles for the theater.
A graduate of Moscow University and Cambridge, at the age of 29 Savva Timofeevich became an elected member of the Moscow Exchange Society. He strengthened the position of the Nikolskaya manufactory he inherited, turning it into one of the largest enterprises in Russia. He was concerned about the situation of the workers, he made sure that they received decent wages and worked in good conditions. Like his father, he helped them improve their skills. Not forgetting the specialty of a chemist, which he received in England, Savva Timofeevich founded an anonymous society of combined chemicals in the Urals, which produced dyes for fabric.
Savva Morozov supported the 1905 revolution. He donated money to the illegal newspaper Iskra and sponsored the publication of Novaya Zhizn and Borba.

The story of one mansion. House of Arseny Morozov.
Author of the article Oleg, founder of the project
Published: 08/26/2020 671
Today, in the “History of a Mansion” section, I will tell you about a building on Vozdvizhenka that is bizarre in its decor – the mansion of Arseny Morozov.
Mansion of Arseny Morozov on Vozdvizhenka
Arseny was born in 1873 into a wealthy merchant family, the Morozovs, who owned a large weaving factory in Tver. When the boy was nine, his father Abram Abramovich died of paralysis, and control of the entire family business empire passed to Arseny’s mother Varvara Alekseevna. The young man received a good education in Moscow and even went on an internship to England, but he showed no interest in the family business, while receiving monthly dividends from his mother for which he drank, threw parties and traveled.
Arseny's mother Varvara was a woman of great soul and spent serious money on charity. She built a psychiatric clinic on Devicheye Pole, an orphanage, a maternity hospital and a hospital for workers, as well as a school and college for minors who were forced to work in factories. In addition to Arseny, Varvara had two more sons, Mikhail and Ivan, business-minded and more conscious guys. The family lived in a large house on Vozdvizhenka, in which Varvara later opened a literary salon, where Bryusov and Blok loved to visit.
When Arseny was 25 years old, his mother gave him a nice elite plot of land on Vozdvizhenka, not far from her house, with the hint that he was already a big boy and it was time to move out of his parents’ nest. Arseny, who by this time was known in Moscow as a party animal, womanizer and playmaker, decided to build a castle house on this site for life, balls and parties.

He invited his friend Victor Mazarin to act as the architect of the unusual residence, whom he met a couple of years ago at the World Exhibition in Antwerp, where he took part as the designer and architect of the Russian pavilion. In the Moscow circle of that time, Mazarin was known for his love of esotericism. He believed in the transmigration of souls, practiced various rituals and meditations, and considered himself the reincarnation of a certain Egyptian who built the largest pyramids.

Victor quickly became friends with the rich Arseny, began traveling with him, simultaneously teaching his young friend various esoteric practices. A couple of years later, the friendship was monetized and Mazarin received a large order from Senya for the construction of a luxurious mansion on Vozdvizhenka.
- What style will we build in? - Victor asked his friend. — You can do it in classical, Romanesque, Baroque...
- Build in everyone! - Arseny answered pathetically. — I have enough money for all styles.

The friends met the source of inspiration for the future mansion during one of their trips to Spain and Portugal. There, Arseny fell in love with the Spanish-Moorish style Pena Castle in Sintra and decided to build the same one.

Victor made sketches and a year later a project worked out in every detail was ready, which seemed simply crazy for the classical merchant Moscow of that time. We started construction. The construction and decoration of the mansion took about three years and in 1899 it was completely ready.

Even at the construction stage, the building became the object of mocking conversations among Muscovites, gossip, rumors and critical newspaper publications. Public opinion disapproved of the exotic mansion as an expression of extreme eccentricity.
They say that Varvara Alekseevna, Arseny’s mother, when she came to her son’s housewarming party, was in shock and said in her hearts:
“Senya, before I was the only one who knew that you were a fool, but now all of Moscow will know.”
Arseny didn’t give a damn and from that day on he began organizing one party after another in his mansion. It was possible to gather parties without difficulty - the owner of the house’s cousin, an avid theatergoer Savva Morozov, brought the Moscow elite and various famous people, including Maxim Gorky, to his nephew.
Slogans on the central facade of the house
Arseny loved to shock guests. For example, at one of the parties, those who entered were greeted by a stuffed bear, in whose paws there was a silver tray full of black caviar. He invited an entire cavalry regiment to another.
The interior decoration of the mansion was also surprising: the formal dining room, called the “Knight's Hall,” was decorated in pseudo-Gothic style, the main living room, where balls were held, was designed in the Empire style, and the boudoir for the wife of the owner of the mansion was decorated in a Baroque style. There were also interiors in Arabic and Chinese styles. A small hanging garden was built above the mansion.
The ceilings in the house are decorated with stucco and frescoes
Arseny added many hidden signs to the decor of the mansion. For example, a knot of ropes is considered a symbol of longevity, but all these amulets did not work against stupidity.
Stucco - a knot of ropes above the front door
At one of the parties, Arseny argued with friends that thanks to meditation he had learned not to feel pain. In front of other participants, he shot himself in the leg with a pistol and hung out for a couple of hours, pretending that everything was fine. Friends admitted that Arseny won the argument. At this time, blood collected in the dirty boot on the shot leg, and infection began. He died 3 days later in the hospital.
After his death, it turned out that, according to the terms of the will left by Arseny, his legal wife Varvara and daughter Irina did not receive any of the acquired property. Capital in the amount of 4,000,000 rubles and a mansion on Vozdvizhenka worth another 3,000,000 rubles went to a certain Nina Konshina, a strange socialite with whom Morozov had been dating for the last few years.
Dobrovinsky and Zhorin were not there yet, but his wife hired local merchant lawyers and filed a lawsuit, citing the fact that Arseny was not himself. As a result, she managed to sue for part of the money, but the mansion remained with her mistress, who lived quietly in it until the 1917 revolution, until the Bolsheviks threw her out of there.

After the revolution, a theater for workers operated in the house of Arseny Morozov. Then the building was given over to the diplomatic mission. Nowadays the reception house of the Russian Government is located here.

Passion for impressionism
The Tver manufactory was led for some time (and very successfully) by Ivan Morozov, the son of Abram Savvich. He also participated in the affairs of the Moscow Merchant Bank, and was one of the founders of the Russian Joint-Stock Company of the Coke Industry and Benzene Production.
But his real love was painting. He was delighted with the works of the French Impressionists. Ivan Morozov collected over 600 works - one of the largest collections in the world. He didn’t care about the price of masterpieces - the main thing was that he could admire them whenever he wanted. The paintings were located in his eclectic mansion on Prechistenka, which miraculously survived the fire of 1812 and was later rebuilt. When rebuilding the house, Ivan Abramovich asked to provide a room with thick stone walls and a concrete ceiling. If necessary, the entire collection could be hidden in it.
After the revolution, his collection was nationalized. Ivan Abramovich was offered to become deputy director of the new museum, which was never opened. A little later, the collection ended up in the Museum of New Western Art, and today it can be seen in the Pushkin Museum named after A.S. Pushkin and the Hermitage.

Timothy, who knew no bondage
The children of Savva Vasilyevich became famous throughout the country - all except Ivan, who was not interested in entrepreneurship. The youngest, Timofey Savvich, was most favored by fame. His father treated him more favorably than the other children. He did not even hide the reasons for his special attitude: Timofey was the only one of the brothers who did not experience what serfdom was, he was born a free, free man - therefore, he would be able to conduct business without regard to anyone.
In the early 1850s, his father entrusted Timofey with organizing the work of his factories and trading. Seven years later, the resourceful Timofey began to acquire land for a new factory in the Tver province, which once again earned his father’s approval. The Tver manufactory was created in 1859. In 1873, Timofey Morozov renamed the family enterprise into the Partnership of the Nikolskaya Manufactory “Savva Morozov’s Son and Co.” After a while, it became the best among Russian textile enterprises.
Morozov purchased machines in England, and the dyes were also imported. It was difficult to compete with his products. Timofey Savvich received several million rubles every year. The village of Nikolskoye at that time was similar to the Morozovs’ possession: all the residents worked for Timofey Savvich. His contribution to the country’s economy was so great that he, the first in Russia, was awarded the title “Mr. Manufacturing Advisor.” In 1882, he was awarded the Order of St. Anne “for special works on the All-Russian Industrial and Art Exhibition in Moscow.”
In addition to his main activities, he was a co-founder of the Moscow Merchant and Volga-Kama Banks. He paid scholarships to students of the Moscow Technical School and invested money in the construction of a gynecological clinic on Devichye Pole.
