According to the 8th revision, they are recorded in Irkutsk in one family: Stepan's wife-Avdotya Semenovna genus. K in the Irkutsk merchants remained only Stepan Matveevich Igumnov -?

Together with his sons, he had a shop of petty goods in the city. His son Nikolai in the early X donated money for the construction of the building of the Irkutsk theater, the needs of the East Siberian Department of the Russian Geographical Society.

In Gabriel Matveevich, continuing to be listed in the 1st Guild in Kyakhta, signed up for the Petersburg merchants of the 1st Guild. I took up gold industry. Then he joined the founders of the Yaroslavl large manufactory. The Yaroslavl large manufactory after a large fire was in a crisis, the production was stopped. In the year, the heirs of its former owner Savva Yakovlev, who did not want to deal with the problems of manufactory, sold it for only 85 thousand rubles.

Karzinkin and Igumnov managed to quickly revive the company that came into decay and recoup the invested funds. The company successfully developed and made good profits. Gabriel Matveevich had a wife Vera Yakovlevna - they had a son Matvey, but, apparently, he died early. Therefore, the capital and case of Gabriel Matveevich was inherited by his nephew. Almost nothing is known about Alexander and Semyon, but Nikolai Igumnov became famous throughout Russia.

He was an extraordinary personality, had a tendency to extravagant acts and loved to put dust in the eyes. Because of this, he often became not only the hero of the scandalous newspaper chronicle and numerous gossip, but also got into the police protocols. Moreover, the adventures of Nikolai Igumnov every now and then recalls the modern Russian press. Moreover, the more yellow the publication, the more fictions and all sorts of nonsense are surrounded by the name of Igumnov.Different Nymphopers claim that he allegedly brought to the suicide of the architect Nikolai Pozdeev, who built him a luxurious house on Yakimanka in Moscow, that in this house Igumn in a fit of jealousy killed his mistress and walked her corpse in the wall, and some authors with a particularly rich fantasy in the “creative” Ugari even agreed that his mistress was defined in the wall, and was stolen in the walls.

And now her ghost wanders around the building at night, scaring guests. All this, of course, is enemies. Pozdeev died of tuberculosis, which was then practically not treated, and no one has ever seen a mistress’s corpse, like her mythical ghost. Nikolai Vasilievich Igumnov - was born in Moscow and spent most of his life in it. It so happened that he became the heir not only of his father’s business, but also to the state of his uncle Gabriel Matveevich, as well as his gold mines in Siberia.

Even before his death, Nikolai Vasilievich becomes a co -owner of the “Partnership of the Yaroslavl Big Manufactory” and its director. Since the middle of the x, he lived in Yaroslavl, it was here, according to some reports, his sons Gabriel and Innocent were born, and although his memories also contain many mistakes, we give a small fragment from them. In my time, the directors of the board of the Big Yaroslavl Manufactory were Andrei Aleksandrovich Korsinkin, Nikolai Vasilievich Igumnov and Sergey Ivanovich Smirnov, who was previously the chief accountant, and then became the director to save this place for the deceased children of the deceased Sergei Ivanovich Korsinkin.

Korsinkin was a rich, prudent person, but with a soft and friendly character; As they talked about him, he did not even kill him mosquito, but only drove him; To all the people who deal with him, he was extremely condescending, and did not condemn anyone. I have never had to hear someone to speak about Andrei Alexandrovich is not good. Andrei Aleksandrovich Karzinkin N. Igumnov possessed a decisive, firm character, practicality and great common sense, which subjugated all his other comrades in his influence, and all issues were approved at the discretion of Igumnov; But when Sergey Sergeyevich Korsinkin, and then his younger brothers entered the board, the situation, of course, was supposed to change.

Young Korsinkins, rich, rather well -educated and educated, did not want to submit to Egis Igumnovskaya, demanding that their opinions be heard and carried out in the case. Igumnov, spoiled by the attitude of the former composition of the reign, as they say, bit a bit, looked at the youth as not worth attention, as a result of which quarrels and troubles began in the board.

The rest of the shareholders joined the young Korsinkin, and Igumnov’s position in the board became extremely difficult and unpleasant; Despite all this, he did not change his disposition at all, convincing them not with persuasion for the rightness of his views, but by various abusive epithets. Their chief engineer Alyanchikov presented to the board about the need to reorganize some department in the factory.

Igumnov, with his practical and common sense, realizing that the proposal would not give the necessary results, rebelled against him, and this served as the rest of the board of the board who decided to remove N. Igumnov from the board of the case. The collection of shareholders was approved in a positive sense, and Nikolai Vasilievich had to leave the directorship. Outraged by such an attitude towards him, he sold his share and finally interrupted all relations with the partnership, where his father is his uncle - ed.

As I had to hear, the project proposed by engineer Alyanchikov was carried out, but the result turned out to be the same as N. Igumnov, therefore, he turned out to be right in his perseverance. "In the year, Nikolai Vasilievich decided to build a new house in Moscow. He inherited a large plot with a wooden house built at the beginning of the 19th century on Yakimanka Street.

The old House of Igumnov ordered to demolish, and the construction of the new city architect Nikolai Ivanovich Pozdeev began in his place. Nikolai Ivanovich was designed in the Russian style, which then came into fashion in this style in Moscow, the buildings of the historical museum, the Moscow City Duma, and the upper shopping rows were built by GUM, and in Yaroslavl, the chapel of Alexander Nevsky and the Sretenskaya Church, both of the projects of Nikolai Pozdesdeeva The Holland, and the polychrome tiles for decorating the facade were made at the porcelain factory of M.

In addition to ceramics, the building used carvings, metal forging and casting, painting, elements of curly masonry. Nikolai Ivanovich Pozdeev did not live until the end of construction - he died in the year from tuberculosis. His brother Ivan Ivanovich completed work. In the year, Igumnov was in the center of a large scandal.In a house on Yakimanka, he arranged a ball, ordering to strew the floor with coins of new coinage, on which the profile of Emperor Nicholas II was depicted.

The very next day, the highest order Nikolai Igumnov was expelled from Moscow "without the right to return to it." Igumnov left for Abkhazia and settled on the Black Sea coast next to the Abkhazian village of Alahajadzykh. This place was then swampy, teemed with malaria mosquitoes and poisonous snakes. Igumnov acquired the tithes of the Earth for nothing and began a new life.

He ordered to drain the swamps, plant eucalyptus and swamp cypresses that absorb moisture well. On the seashore he started a fish conservation factory and built a small palace for himself. He created the living conditions for workers.
