The Pskovo-Pechersk monastery was founded in the fifteenth century and located a few miles from the border with Estonia. From 1920 until 1944, as a result of the Tartu Agreement, the town of Pechery belonged to Estonia, and Kaigorodov, who lived in Estonia until 1939, was a frequent visitor.



Between the years 1896 to 1905, Kaigorodov's studies took him from St. Petersburg to Munich and Paris. He exhibited with the Wanderers in Russia, and also abroad including in Munich, Berlin and Copenhagen. His later exhibitions, coinciding with his emigration to Estonia, also led Kaigorodov to participate in representative exhibitions of Estonian art abroad. His paintings are in the Russian Museum St. Petersburg and State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, as well as in museums in Riga, Belgrade, Prague and Estonia.
