History and collection

The museum was founded in 1981 by Ivan Vasilyevich Zorin, a native of Pervitinsky Krai, the first «Honorary Citizen of Likhoslavl District». As a participant of the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 against nazi, with four wounds and 35 years of service in the Armed Forces of the USSR, he devoted himself to local history and preservation of historical heritage. Today the museum bears his name.

The exhibits and documents of the museum tell about the people and the three hundred year history of the village of Pervitino, as well as some of the nearby villages and estates of the Tver region. The main part of the museum is devoted to the history of the twentieth century. As early as 1904, a Social Democratic group was created in Pervitino, and peasants from the Pervitino and surrounding villages actively participated in it. The materials of the museum tell about the peasant movement of 1905-1910, about the events of the revolution of 1917, the formation of the commune in Pervitino in 1918, then the F.

Today the streets in St. Petersburg and Pervitino bear his name. In 1966, a monument to A. T. Sevastyanov by sculptor Alexander Chernetsky was opened in Pervitino.[3] The museum exhibits a genuine machine gun Sevastyanova, found in 1971, along with the remains of the pilot and his aircraft.[4]
