Not just turned around to the house where he lived A. Snegirev.
That's what I learned from the artist's widow.

Artist Snegirev Arkady V., painter, member of the Union of Artists was born in Moscow on March 18, 1930. Died 17 April 1994 in Rakvere (Estonia), and is buried there in the town cemetery. In Estonia, a widow living artist Adel Karlovna.
Fate brought them together at the Moscow Institute of Fine Arts Surikov on the same course. Adele was sent to Moscow to study from the Tallinn Art Institute after the second course. They married and lived and worked in Moscow. In 1961 he bought a derelict farmhouse in Rakvere beautiful place where people come to visit the mother of Adele. Work Arcadia Snegireva free shuttled between Russia and Estonia until 1992. After establishing the boundary between the two new states have problems with customs.
Perhaps due to this circumstance and, in Estonia remained part of the artist, which he began writing back in 1950-1960's, when he was on mission in Central Asia and the North.
Asian period is connected with the history of the Art Institute Surikov. The fact is that during the war, the institute was evacuated from Moscow to Samarkand (Uzbekistan). The institution itself was founded in Moscow until the end of 1930, so in 1942 in Samarkand, the first graduates of painters. After the war, keep in touch with the city and the republic, where the students undergo practical training. For Snegireva it was interesting and the fact that from childhood he was fond of archeology, ancient culture.
In the North, he has come a long way from Murmansk to Kamchatka on the icebreaker "Ermak". Preserved sketches and portraits on the life of Northern peoples (Khanty, Nenets).
