Estates and Dvoryaninovo Bogoroditsk, Tula oblast

These estates I joined in the formula: Bogoroditsk + Dvoryaninovo = my favorite estates in Tula region. I deliberately do not share these estates. For me Bogoroditsk is increasingly estate created by a brilliant scientist and philanthropist Andrey Timofeyevich Bolotov. And Dvoryaninovo — estate, which Bolotov drew inspiration for their ideas and accomplishments. It seems to me that Bolotov absolutely deserves to be put on a par with Lomonosov, Karamzin and other prominent figures from different eras.
