History
At the beginning of the 20th century, Repino (then Kuokkala) was located in the Grand-duché de Finlande, a part of the Empire russe. Shortly after the Révolution d'Octobre in 1917, Finlande declared its independence from the Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques. When the Isthme de Carélie was ceded by Finland to the Union des républiques socialistes soviétiques after the Guerre d'Hiver and the Guerre de Continuation (1939–1944), Kuokkala became Russian. In 1948, it was renamed Repino in honor of the Peinture Ilya Repin[1].
Penates
In 1899, Repin bought an estate here and called it Penaty (russe : Пенаты, meaning Penates, Empire romain household gods (en)). He designed his own house, and after it had been built several years later, Repin moved to Kuokkala. He would live there until his death in 1930. The house is surrounded by a large park.
The estate is part of the Organisation des Nations unies pour l'éducation, la science et la culture Patrimoine mondial Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments[2]. The estate has been a museum since 1940[3].
