The exposition of the Ufa authorities was supposed to be placed on the squares under construction Aksakov's People's House (now the Opera and Ballet Theater), but its construction was significantly delayed due to the events of World War I and revolutions of 1917. Therefore, until 1919, the Nesterov assembly was kept in Moscow.
7 November 1919 and, after the liberation of Ufa from Kolchak's troops, the provincial Revolutionary Committee in Ufa established by special resolution the foundation of the October Revolution Artistic Proletarian Museum in the city. Since the Aksakov People's House was not completed, the house of the merchant-timber merchant M. A. Laptev was allocated for the museum.[2][3]
The discovery was preceded by a difficult transportation of the Nesterov collection to Ufa from Moscow, through all of Russia destroyed by the Civil War. This case was entrusted to a friend and fellow countryman of the artist, the famous architect Ilya Bondarenko. Upon arrival in Ufa, he was entrusted with the management of the museum, which was opened for visiting in January 1920.
I.E. Bondarenko diligently searched for new works for the museum and by May 1920 the museum collection consisted of 1,500 exhibits, and the library – 2,500 volumes. In the 1920s and 1930s, the museum was actively replenished with exhibits from the Moscow and Petrograd museum funds. Then the works of Konstantin Korovin, Pavel Kuznetsov, Leonard Turzhansky, Ivan Kramskoy, Vasily Perov, Mikhail Vrubel, Valentin Serov, Mikhail Larionov, Natalia Goncharova and many other famous artists. Of particular value to the collection of ancient Russian painting were the icons received in 1921 through the Moscow Museum Fund from the largest collector and restorer Grigory Chirikov.[4]
