- In the summer, he usually lived in his luxurious dacha, built not far from the taiga foreign village of Chebaki. At this dacha, its owner built a rather spacious church, where spiritual parables and a choir of singers were kept. The dacha itself was a large manor's house, with a spacious dance hall, a billiard room and all the manor's amenities. The house consisted of a fairly decent orchestra of musicians. On the dacha's estate there was a beautiful garden with greenhouses, in which several perfectly ripe oranges were grown by Christmas. On Christmas holidays, the Tsybulskys usually came from Tomsk to Chebaki, to their dacha; and then these oranges grown in greenhouses were then served at the table, the owners treated themselves, and treated guests who came to the Tsybulskys on Christmas visits. According to clerical reports, the maintenance of Tsybulsky's dacha cost him 40 thousand rubles annually. This dacha also served as the gold-mining residence of Tsybulsky, who had a number of mines in the Achinsk-Minusinsk region. (en)
