In 1992, the association established the “National Lermontov Center in Serednikovo”, whose director also became Mikhail Yuryevich. In 1995, the Lermontov Center entered into a lease agreement for 49 years with the administration of the Moscow Region , which is in disrepair of a cultural heritage site of federal significance of the estate “Mtsyri (Spasskoye) XVII-XVIII centuries.” Its historical name is “ Serednikovo Manor ” and it is known as the place where the great poet spent four summer seasons, and his second cousin Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin spent his childhood. In Soviet times, there was a tuberculosis sanatorium. The goal set by the association is the revival of the estate as a cultural and memorial complex ^[8] .

The first funds for the restoration of the estate, as well as for the activities of the association, were provided by Josephine Lermont, chairman of the association’s branch in London ^[9] .
