Tomsk, (not) built by Batenkov
In 1925, a man named Pudovikov came to the Tomsk regional museum. And he brought an album with a selection of architectural projects. 60 drawings of buildings, gazebos, bridges and other structures. On the cover there is a half-erased inscription in pencil with a pre-revolutionary “er-ohm”, which can be read as: “G... Batenkov”. Photo: Sergey Konovalov According to the legend, which was recorded from the words of the donor, the album belonged to Gavriil Batenkov.
