The recently restored manor of the manufacturer Vasily Aseev in Rasskazov is not only one of the most beautiful places, but also one of the most mysterious. Several beautiful legends are associated with the names of industrialists known not only in the Tambov region, but also in Russia, which are kept by local residents.
Aseevskaya fur coat
The Aseevs came out of the common people. Vasily Agafonovich was never ashamed of his peasant origin. For his own memory and for the edification of his sons, he kept in a conspicuous place in his study a rustic peasant shirt and ports.
There is a story among the people, how one day it happened to a resident of Rasskazov, Fyodor Semenovich S., to find himself on a hunt with Mikhail Vasilyevich Aseev (the passion for hunting Aseev came from his grandfather Agafon and father Vasily and almost led him to death from the paws of a bear).
Fyodor Semyonovich was a bourgeois, worked in a factory boiler room, was considered an avid hunter. Although the invitation was flattering for him, he did not agree immediately, complaining that the frost was painfully strong. Aseev offered him a fox sheepskin coat for rent. Immediately upon his return, he did not return it. So the owner had to remind him of the thing. Fyodor Semyonovich kept the answer that de, after the hunt came tired, threw off his sheepskin coat on the floor and fell asleep. And the kids (he had at least eight of them) decided to play on it. So there are so many fleas and lice on a sheepskin coat now. In the very near future, the wife will bake bread, and then she will fry the fur coat in the oven so that they all die, and then she will return it.
To which Aseev, being, as they said, a squeamish man, ordered not to worry and leave him to himself. This is how the Aseevskiy sheepskin coat appeared in the family.

For ingenuity
Another incident happened at one of the many stories fairs. One resident of Rasskazov had a large family, but did not have the means to heartily celebrate the holiday. And I wanted to go for a walk at the fair. Everyone around, including Aseev, knew about this sin. And then Fyodor Semyonovich came up with the idea of playing on pity, borrowing to buy a cow, the kids, they say, need milk. Aseev approved the purchase of cattle and gave money. But he warned him that he would certainly check.
The borrower missed almost the entire amount. Wandering through the stalls and thinking hard thinking, I came across a wonderful product - wooden cows, toys on wheels.
- You are what I need! he exclaimed.
The next day, without waiting for a check, Fyodor Semyonovich went to Aseev. Mikhail Vasilyevich was surprised to see him, and when he said that he had bought a cow and would now show it, he was even a little taken aback.
“Don't worry, my cow is meek, there will be no harm from her.
And he brought a toy cow with a string directly to Aseev's office. He burst out laughing. For his wit and resourcefulness, Mikhail Vasilyevich forgave him the debt.
Believe it or not
This story took place in the 70s of the last century. After the revolution, Aseev's house housed both a tuberculosis sanatorium and an office. At one time the building was occupied by a kindergarten. Since the institution belonged to the state farm, it was guarded by the guards of the enterprise. Moreover, at this seemingly peaceful facility, they changed very often. They are on duty for two or three nights and refuse to go out. There were also those who quit immediately after the night shift.
According to the stories of Tamara Alekseevna, who had to work there as a watchman, once, taking up the post, she walked around the premises - everything is in order, everything is calm. She settled down by the lamp and began to read. At exactly 12 o'clock, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Someone got up from the front door to the second floor, walked down the corridor, and then went down to the kitchen. Who could walk the building at night? Tamara Alekseevna decided that it was the boys who climbed the tree branches onto the balcony and ended up inside. She went around all the groups, bedrooms, but found no one. She heard strange steps more than once.
At this time, her cousin Anyuta came to visit. Tamara Alekseevna invited her on duty with her - and we will have enough time to talk, and the night will pass faster. Toward midnight, Anna was accommodated in one of the bedrooms on the second floor. The watchman went down to the first. She just sat down and heard Anyuta scream in a bad voice: "Save me!" Tamara Alekseevna began to calm down her relative, who, trembling all over, repeated that a black man had pounced on her. None of the words of consolation that no one was in the building worked. Until the morning the sisters did not sleep a wink.
After seeing off Anyuta, the woman went to the office, where she stated that she would not go to kindergarten anymore. The head of security hastened to announce that they are accepting a new person, he will be sent to this object, but he very much asked to be on duty for another night. Tamara Alekseevna agreed, taking all precautions: with a stick she propped up the door of the room where she was, for added strength she pushed the bed, sat on it, and strengthened the bedside table nearby. Exactly at 12 o'clock, she could not believe her eyes, the door opened, she moved aside with the bed. A tall man entered the room, a cavalryman in a black cloak, like Chapaev's.
She no longer remembers how she dialed her son's phone number, how she told him to run to her. And after the words "visitor" - "What, in the morning you will complain again and say that you will no longer go here to work?" - lost consciousness.
Someone was banging on the windows and doors. From this sound she woke up. Opened, it was a son, frightened by the call, came running. She did not go to guard the kindergarten anymore.
You can treat such stories in different ways, but this place has something unusual, even mysterious. As for the "black man", then, according to stories, he visited a nearby cafe, and local boys shared that they saw someone in a black cloak.
