Contemporaries deservedly called Talashkino "Russian Athens", and Maria Klavdievna "Pericles of Russian peasants." Like all the remarkable beginnings in Russia in the early twentieth century, related to the progress and upbringing of the younger generation, the cultural and artistic center in Talashkino was destroyed by revolutions.

The main attractions are located in the nearby village of Flenovo (formerly the village), which is part of a rural settlement Talashkino. Flenovo Tenishevs purchased a year after the purchase of Talashkino. Here was an agricultural school, opened by Maria Tenisheva. To date, the museum complex remained four objects:. House-Mansion, Temple of the Holy Spirit, farmstead with columns and a former school building

Teremok designed Sergei Malyutin and in the style of Russian modernist style with striking imagination thread and dyeing

. To the right of Terem, on a forested hill as if from old Russian fairy tales, there is an amazing church of the Holy Spirit, designed also by Sergey Malyutin. The church itself is of a very unusual shape, but its gateway mosaic, created by Nicholas Roerich, also surprises. The temple was built as a burial vault for Prince Tenishev. After the October revolution, the church was plundered, the grave of the prince was defiled, and a vegetable store was built in the church. Now the church has a cross in memory of the owner of the estate.

There are two expositions in the building of the Main Manor, and the school is currently closed to tourists.
