Arseny Morozov House

Following the February Revolution, for a short period the building was one of the expensive residences occupied by the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups.^{[citation needed]} In 1918-1928 the building was occupied by the Proletkult theatre group and staged experimental productions by famous Russian theater and film directors Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Meyerhold.^[4]

The art theorist Aleksei Gan was amongst those who lived in the building. The building had Ivan Morozov's collection of ceramics, silverware, icons and engraved portraits.^[5] Gan spent a month as custodian of these objects.

At the end of the 1920s the house was managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Soviet Union). It was the residency of the Ambassador of Japan until 1940, the headquarters of a British newspaper, the Britansky Soyuznik (British Ally), in 1941-1945, and the Embassy of India from 1952 to 1954.^[6]
