Arseny Morozov House

The Arseny Morozov House is a historic building located at 16 Vozdvizhenka Street, Moscow.

An eclectic building with Neo-Manueline architecture, the Morozov House was constructed on the land presented to Arseny by his mother Varvara.

[2] According to the city legend, when she saw the finished mansion, Varvara Morozova exclaimed: "Only I used to know that you’re a fool, now the whole of Moscow will know!

"[3] Following the February Revolution, for a short period the building was one of the expensive residences occupied by the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups [citation needed].

In 1918-1928 the building was occupied by the Proletkult theatre group and staged experimental productions by famous Russian theater and film directors Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Meyerhold.
