With the assistance and direct participation of the Honored Worker of Culture of the USSR, director of the Bohuslav Museum of Local Lore Boris Levchenko, a memorial museum-estate of Mark Vovchenko was created in the house where the writer lived in 1885—1886, and the bust of the writer of the work was installed sculptor Taras Bratersky. On August 10, 1985, on the 100th anniversary of the stay of Mark Vovchak in the city, the opening of the bust and the museum-estate of Mark Vovchak on Zarossi in Bohuslava.The exposition of the museum dedicated to the Bohuslav period in the work of Mark Vovchak, concentrated in five rooms (halls) of the house [1]. In the first room, at the very entrance to which, stands the writer's breast, and on the wall there is her statement: “I live and think with one thought about those bright times when man becomes the master of his destiny, his happiness.” Further in the room there are materials that give an idea of the formation of the personality of the writer before her arrival in Boguslav (1833-1885). Some facts of her biography, portraits of her surroundings, literary achievements... Like, for example, the acquaintance with the German composer Eduard Mertke in 1864 and the result of this communication — the publication of the collection “200 Ukrainian Songs”. The second room, dedicated to the Bohuslav period of the life of Mark Vovchak, where the interior of the beginning of the 20th century is recreated — a piano, a skillfully painted bed, a wardrobe. Here, in Bohuslav, she lived from August 10, 1885 to the end of June 1886. On August 10, 1885, Maria Aleksandrovna Vilinska, together with her husband Mikhail Demjanovich Lobach-Zhuchenko — the manager of the third Bohuslav district, settled on the then outskirts of the city, in rented by the housing department of the house of justice of the peace Vladimir Antonovich Kolosovsky. First, Maria's husband, Mikhail Lobach-Zhuchenko, arrived. In his letters to his wife, he wrote that the hut was rustic, only “having lord wide halves”, adding a plan of the building to the letter. The writer joined the family later. Many years of hard work and experiences related to literary scandals and personal problems, the arrest and exile of her son, whom she, despite her connections, could not help, caused a serious illness. She was examined by Kiev doctors, and in addition to heart problems, she was also diagnosed with cancer. However, Maria refused surgery. All these factors led to the fact that in Boguslav she actually did not communicate with anyone and was in an extremely depressed state; according to her husband's recollections, “she could not leave the house for weeks, months.” Fortunately, the terrible diagnosis in 1886 was refuted. The serious illness of his grandson Boris also contributed to the return to normal life in a certain way — Marko Vovchok focused on the troubles of the patient. At the end of June 1886, the couple moved to the village. Hokhitva, which is 3 floors from Bohuslav. The next, third room, tells about the stay of Mark Vovchak in Hokhitva. It was from the end of June 1886 to December 1893 that the Lobachiv couple lived in a village house that once belonged to the counts of Branytsky, and later bought by the housing department for the office and residence of the manager. Here the writer has already “come to life” and even returned to literary activity. In total, the Lobach-Zhuchenko family lived in Bohuslav Oblast for almost nine years. [ 2] As for the interior of the room, some of the things of the late 19th - early 20th centuries are collected here: an intricate chandelier, a table with chairs, a wooden chest. On the walls are photocopies of archival materials relating to this period of the life of Mark Vovchak. In particular, the reproduction of the portrait of Leo Tolstoy, made by S. Hazin. If you look closely, you can see that the clothes of the writer form the lines of her “Kreutzer sonata”, which Maria wrote with her husband in 1890. The fourth and fifth rooms of the museum are dedicated to the last years of the life (1893—1907) of the outstanding writer. At the end of 1893, the Lobachiv couple moved to Saratov. But Maria Alexandrovna once again visited Boguslavshchyna. In October 1896, she came here to collect testimony in defense of her husband, who had been the victim of slander. The testimonies of 129 people — residents of Bohuslav, Hokhitva, Steblev, were personally transcribed by her and handed over to the judicial investigator.In the last years of her life, Maria Alexandrovna repeatedly expressed a desire to visit these picturesque areas above Russia. In particular, the exposition has a letter in which Marko Vovchok recalls with nostalgia “sweet Russia” and its green shores, where he breathed so freely... After the departure of his husband, the couple decided to return to Boguslav forever, but the circumstances turned out so that Lobachi moved to Nalchik where the writer died on August 10, 1907.
