Sviblovo old photographs. Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in the Sviblovo estate

In the northern region of Sviblovo. The area is quite interesting and even legendary, although most residents of the city do not associate it with anything specific, while some blocks of this area are known far beyond its borders.

So what’s interesting in Sviblovo, take a walk around the area —>

Sviblovo is a relatively small district of Moscow with a population of about 61 thousand people, which is a rather modest figure for Moscow. For example, in the largest district of Moscow, Maryino, there are 252 thousand people, and in Golyanovo, which closes the top ten in terms of population, there are 161 thousand.

The old name Sviblovo was first mentioned in the spiritual charter of Vasily I at the end of the 14th century. The lands here belonged to the boyar Fyodor Sviblo, which is why the village was first called Fedorovsky, and then began to be called Sviblovo. “Svibly” or “shvibly” in the old Russian language were those who were tongue-tied and had a lisp.

In the 19th century Karamzin lived in Sviblovo.

Of course, nothing remains from those times and from the village here, except for the estate and the temple, and everything that we see in the area was built in the 20th century.

The general view of the area near the metro these days is this:

The metro appeared here relatively late, only in 1978:

Construction of the Sviblovo metro station

Sviblovo in the late 1970s - early 1980s

Even now, a few old trees still remain from the once large area with pine trees:

Our route around the area will be as follows:

Let's move a little towards the square with the signs of the zodiac, then through Sviblovo of the 1950s, along the Yauza, through the courtyards of the 1960s and return back to the metro.

The area is located in the north of the city, so it was logically decided that the names of the streets should remind of the north: Snezhnaya Street, Beringov Proezd, Kolskaya Street, Nansen Proezd and others.

Not far from the metro in the late 2000s, close to residential buildings and a small shopping center, the Temple-Chapel of the Hieromartyr Vladimir was erected:

It is interesting that this small temple in the old style was erected instead of another wooden temple, which stood closer to the metro:

The former wooden church of the Holy Martyr Vladimir was erected in the area in 1997.

Opposite the new temple and shopping complex you can find another modern attraction of the area - a square with zodiac signs made from scrap metal by sculptor Andrei Aseryants:

The square was opened in 2007:

This area-forming enterprise is TsNIIS, which for some reason stands for Research Institute of Transport Construction. The institute itself was founded back in 1935, but moved to its current buildings in 1950, when a production and experimental base was put into operation on the Beskudnikovskaya railway line. Here they were involved in the design of large transport hubs and facilities, in particular the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM)

Since this area was not within the city until 1960, “Stalinist” houses for workers were built around it.

Here, in the depths of Sviblov, it’s as if you are in a quarter of one of Moscow’s scientific satellites, such as Dubna or Zhukovsky.

In the middle of the square before the “Khrushchev era” there was a monument to Stalin:

In the same block there was a strictly shaped “Stalinist” cultural center, which for some reason was converted into an ugly remake with a superstructure.

Here, at the gates of the laboratory for modeling and testing structures, there is some kind of sophisticated artifact

This is what the street looked like in the early 1950s, when there was still a scientific village here outside of Moscow, almost reaching the town of Babushkin:

You still find yourself not somewhere in Moscow, in a small post-war town:

Prosveshcheniya Street leads us to Sviblovo Park. The stadium has been renovated here in recent years

The stadium was originally built in the early 1960s and resembled more of a leveled field:

Construction of the stadium by local schoolchildren, approximately 1960-1962.

The main decoration of the area, without a doubt, can be called the Yauza River with its landscaped embankments

In Sviblovo, a former railway bridge built in 1900 has been preserved, now turned into a pedestrian bridge

The bridge remains here from the Beskudnikovskaya railway, which was closed in 1987 and dismantled. This single-track railway connected the Yaroslavl and Savelovsky directions and appeared even before the Savelovsky station. At the initial stage, trains in both directions departed from the Yaroslavl station. After the construction of the Savelovsky station, the line lost its importance, but began to be actively used again after the opening of the Institute of Railways (TsNIIS) in these places; in addition, until the mid-1960s, the inclusion of the area in Moscow and the arrival of the tram here, residents of the village actively used this line. At the same time, electric trains ran here even in the 1980s:

The pearl of the area, of course, is the Sviblovo estate

The main house of the Naryshkin estate was originally built in 1704. True, in the 19th century the house was built on and remodeled according to the fashion of that time.

The beautiful Church of the Life-Giving Trinity, built in 1708 in the Naryshkin Baroque style, has also been preserved here.

Alas, both the temple and the estate suffered greatly during Soviet times and, fortunately, were restored in the 1990s. This is what they looked like back in the late 1980s:

It is difficult to recognize, but it is nevertheless familiar to most of us:

Stills from the short story “Partner” of the film “Operation Y”

Filming took place at this construction site along Sedova Street in 1964

By the way, all these five-story buildings are included in the renovation program, so hurry up to see them.

And from the roof of this brick “eight-story building” they filmed a panorama of the area:

In 1964 the area looked like this:

The same view today: everything is surrounded by greenery and new houses have sprung up:

Let's go back to the metro! Goodbye, Sviblovo!

Remember, Moscow is not only the Kremlin, and the vast majority of the city’s population lives far from the center, but in areas with their own, sometimes long and interesting history.

Address: Moscow, Lazorevy pr., 19, metro station "Sviblovo".
How to get there: walk from metro station Sviblovo 1.3 km, bus 628 from metro station Sviblovo (4 stops) to stop Lazorevy pr. (13 min.).

The village has been known since the 14th century. At that time it was owned by governor F.A. Sviblo, an associate of Dmitry Donskoy. During almost the entire 17th century. the village belonged to representatives of the Pleshcheev family. At the beginning of the 18th century. the village was owned by a relative of Peter I - K.A. Naryshkin. He built the estate in 1704-1708. After Naryshkin, the estate changed many owners. She's in different time owned by the Golitsyns, Pleshcheevs and others. At the beginning of the 19th century. N.M. Karamzin lived in Sviblovo. By the beginning of the 18th century. a typical economic complex for that time was formed here: a wooden manor house, a soap house, that is, a bathhouse, a barnyard, a mill with a dam, grain barns. The owners of the estate kept up with the Moscow fashion for gardens - there were apple trees, pears, cherries, and currants.
Under K.A. Golitsyn, the stone Church of the Life-Giving Trinity (1708), a manor house, stone chambers and other buildings were erected.
However, the Pleshcheevs were not going to put up with the loss of Sviblov, and in 1719 they returned the estate to themselves, after which “complete desolation reigned there - Pleshcheev lacked either the means or the ability” to maintain the estate.
At the beginning of the 18th century. The estate was rented by Duke Karl-Friedrich of Golfstein, the future husband of Peter I's eldest daughter Anna Petrovna. From 1722 to 1725, the daughters of Peter I, Anna Petrovna, lived in the estate. In place of the oxbow there was a round canal with man-made island in the middle - there was her residence. In the center of the island stood the Rotunda. Four bridges were thrown across the canal to the island. The moat was restored in 2007-2008.
The two floors of the main house (the first floor is brick, the second is wooden) were built in the 1780s. in the forms of early classicism, in the 1820s. a mezzanine has been added; the upper parts of the building and the interiors received architectural decoration in Empire forms. Two wings on the sides of the front yard, built of wood at the end of the 18th century, in the 1980s. recreated in brick. The “human” outbuilding (1820s) and park ponds have been preserved. At the beginning of the 19th century. N.M. Karamzin lived in the Sviblovo estate. Subsequently, Sviblovo was acquired by the merchant I.P. Kozhevnikov, who established a large cloth factory in the village in 1821.
During the Great Patriotic War, the park was almost completely cut down. At the moment, the church, two stone outbuildings and the manor house (second half of the 18th - 19th centuries) have been restored. There are two ponds in the floodplain of the Yauza River.
In 1994, by decision of the Moscow government, the estate was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, which restored the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity. The Trinity Church is protected by the state as an object of cultural heritage of federal significance, the rest of the buildings are objects of regional significance. Nowadays, the core of the estate is under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate; the territory in the Yauza floodplain and along Lazarev Passage belongs to urban lands.
In our time, a church, a bell tower, two ponds, and picturesque relief and a small area of forest.
It was decided to restore some fragments of the park that once existed, fitting them into the existing situation. As a result, convenient pedestrian paths were laid throughout the territory, which connected individual interesting areas with each other. The remaining ponds were cleaned, new bridges were built, and benches were installed along the banks. In accordance with the historical layout of the site, it was decided to restore the island, surrounded by a dug canal. They also built a classic rotunda gazebo, similar to the one that once existed, which received the name “Temple of Air” during the design process.

Kapustinsky (or Kapustyansky) pond
Located on Snezhnaya street.
Area 2.4 hectares. The average depth is 2.5 m, the volume of water in the reservoir is 60 thousand cubic meters.
A beautiful body of water with an island, which is located in the north-eastern part of the pond, in the upper reaches of the backfilled Leonovsky stream. The area of the island inaccessible to people is 0.12 hectares. In 2007, water lilies were noticed - a sign of clean water. Named after the surnames of the Kapustin merchants, later owners of the village of Leonov. This pond is ancient, and an alley of huge linden trees, planted in pairs, led to it from the Sviblovo estate. Now the linden trees are all dried up. Until recently, Kapustinsky Pond was one of the most algae-filled ponds in Moscow, but in recent years the area of the pond has been landscaped.

Layout of the estate: 1 – main house; 2 – outbuilding; 3 – Human outbuilding; 4 – Trinity Church.

At the Moscow Studies lesson

The area on the left bank of the Yauza, adjacent to Medvedkov, owes its name to its owner, boyar Fyodor Andreevich, nicknamed Sviblo (Svibly - lisping), a close associate of Moscow Prince Dmitry Donskoy. It is known that F.A. Sviblo belonged to one of the ancient families that had common ancestors with the ancestors of A.S. Pushkin.

In the book "The Gray Old Man of Moscow" published in 1894, it is noted that "Sviblovo has been known since the 17th century. It is located on the Yauza River, and the remains of a once well-planned garden are visible in it. It was donated by Princess Sofia Alekseevna to Prince Vas. Vas. Golitsin. Regarding the cemetery, legend says: one of the owners of Sviblovo promised to give some German that space of land on which he would drive his dog; the German drove the dog, received the land and set up a colony and a cemetery..."(quoted from Aleksandrov Yu. Moscow: dialogue of guidebooks - M.: Moskovsky Rabochiy, 1986.).

Over the course of several centuries, the village of Sviblovo changed its owners more than once, but its name remained unchanged. Around 1620, Sviblovo was granted to the defender of Moscow, steward Lev Afanasyevich Pleshcheev.

Another outstanding name is inscribed in the history of this place - N.M. Karamzin. He spent the summer of 1801 with his wife in Sviblovo. Here, in what was once such picturesque places on the banks of the Yauza, Karamzin conceived the idea of writing a monumental work on the history of the Russian state.

The manor house, located on the banks of the Yauza, was built by I. P. Kozhevnikov. He received an inheritance from his father, part of which was spent on the construction of a house and a cloth factory, which subsequently brought the owner considerable income.

2 libraries with a collection of over 100 thousand copies;

3 children's and teenagers' clubs.

Our area is adjacent to several Moscow attractions: the Main Botanical Garden and the All-Russian Exhibition Center (VVC). Behind the territory of the All-Russian Exhibition Center, where Mira Avenue descends into the valley of the Yauza River, there is the All-Russian Institute of Cinematography (our schoolchildren are trained here), and nearby is the central studio of children's and youth films named after. M. Gorky, who provided patronage to the school for many years, and now remains friendly with the school staff.

In 1998, Sviblovo turned 575 years old!

Sviblovo and surroundings

The village of Sviblovo was first mentioned in the spiritual charter of Grand Duke Vasily I as the village of Timofeevskoye on the Yauza, which soon became known as Sviblovo - presumably on behalf of Fyodor Andreevich Svibla, who was the governor of Dmitry Donskoy. “Svibly”, “shvibly” in common parlance meant lisping, tongue-tied.

Then the village changed owners more than once, and finally, in 1620, it was granted to the steward Lev Afanasyevich Pleshcheev “for the Moscow siege by the prince’s parish,” then it was inherited, and in 1704 the village was taken over by Kirill Alekseevich Naryshkin. He built stone chambers, a stone Trinity Church, a malt factory, but after the Battle of Poltava he took his people to other estates, and in Sviblovo he settled captured Swedes, “all sorts of craftsmen.” In 1721, after a high-profile land process, the village was returned to the Pleshcheev family, but due to lack of funds it fell into disrepair.

At the beginning of the 19th century, for almost two years N.M. “hires a beautiful rural house in beautiful places near Moscow.” Karamzin. Here, in Sviblovo, he conceives the idea of writing the history of the state, to which he devotes the rest of his life.

In the 20s years XIX century Sviblovo is bought by I.P. Kozhevnikov. He is building a model cloth factory using imported equipment. At the same time, guests often come to the Sviblovo estate for concert evenings to listen to invited artists. The gypsy singer Stesha (Stepanida Sidorovna Soldatova) enjoyed great success at that time. In the 50s, industrial construction developed rapidly, crowding out neighboring groves and meadows. Factories were built in Sviblov: the wool-spinning factory of the merchant Karasev, the cloth and weaving factory of the merchant Sinitsin, the wool-washing factory of the Vassen workshop, and the cloth factory of Shaposhnikov.

From the 70s until the October events of 1917, the estate was owned by mining engineer Georgy Bakhtiyarovich Khalatov. Here, before the revolution, the finishing and weaving production of the merchant Wolfberg was established, and there was also a wool-spinning establishment of the merchant Dupont. During these same years, the neighboring small village of Filino, located slightly upstream of the Yauza River, was owned by the Richters. The lands of this small village are also part of modern Sviblov.

In 1917, there were no more business owners. And the previously prosperous Sviblovo falls into complete disrepair: the estate goes bankrupt, the church is destroyed, the park and ponds are overgrown. You can’t hear the wonderful music playing, and there are no elegant, magnificent guests. Even the gates to the estate can no longer be called either front or entrance...

The second birth of the estate began in 1994, when by decision of the Moscow government it was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate.

Currently, the estate has the status of a Patriarchal metochion, the rector of which is Archpriest Sergius (Kiselev). On its territory there is a center for crafts of the North-Eastern administrative district, an art school has been opened in which young people are introduced to cultural heritage Rus', they teach the skills of weaving, lace-making, beading, floristry, and painting. There is also the Trinity Deanery of Moscow and an Orthodox gymnasium.

We present to your attention the result of fifteen years of restoration work.

During Soviet times (in 1938), the church was closed and used as a utility room until 1990. During this time, the building was badly damaged; not even sketches of the interior decoration and painting of the temple remained.

The area between the metro bridge and Dezhneva passage

Summer photos - 2008, autumn photos - November 2012.

Proezd Dezhneva - Kolskaya street

Summer photos - 2007 and 2008, winter photos - early 2012.

Below the passage along the right bank there are two small ponds, just below the walking field. The southern one is artificial, has a square shape and dries out very much in summer. The northern pond may also be of man-made origin. It is located on the territory of a music school, and therefore the drain is topped with a figurine of a frog on a saxophone.

The left bank of the Yauza below the bridge was designed in 2008 under the name “Ecological Park on Lenskaya”, and it is designed well. There are pontoon bridges across the river, wooden walkways stretch across the swampy floodplain, and information posters stand. The only pity is that the flow of visitors, who are not always kind to nature, has increased. It is not difficult to guess that after some time all the posters were also broken.

South part ecological trail in the summer of 2008 it was still in the process of completion. The territory looks like a continuous swamp, fed, among other things, by the water of the Southern Medvedkovsky Stream, the right tributary of the Yauza. Basically, the road goes along the river bank, and then goes onto the highway Kola street, but besides it, a very fascinating pontoon path through the swamp was created, floating on empty barrels. It is unknown, however, how such infrastructure affects the life of local fauna. Through certain time what usually happens happened, and the floating walkway was vandalized by idiots. A little later, the “vacationers” tore the rest of the park into pieces, broke the paths and burned the gazebo - the territory looks as if the troops of the Tatar Khan passed through it. The cultural situation is still contrary to the way of life - a cesspool - of some underdeveloped humanoids, and they instinctively try to get rid of it.

The right bank of the Yauza looks pitiful in comparison with the eco-trail - an ordinary square with sparse trees and paths, with regularly cut grass.
Crossing Kola Street, Yauza loses its human face and thickets begin to grow. At a short distance from the new Kola Street bridge there was an old one, possibly wooden. An island of supports can still be seen in the middle of the river, but already on the 1964 map the bridge is shown as a dotted line.

Kola street - railway bridge

We continue walking along the left bank.
Lovers of wild thickets and packs of dogs may find the right bank of the Yauza, where the Chermyanka River flows, useful. In recent years, landscaping has been carried out there, but before that the most interesting things were concentrated on the left bank. Pond Kholodok, also known as Kola or Tenisty - on its southern side there are still abandoned remains of the TsNIIS testing complex. In a special pool, objects were tested by the action of a water jet on them, taking water from a pond.

Shady Passage (3) is marked on many maps as a thoroughfare, but in fact it is not. This is a walking poplar alley stretching from the Kholodok pond to the former TsNIIS stadium. Wooden poles that once served as lighting towers are driven into the ground using concrete sleepers. Recently, like many other remnants of the past, they have disappeared, and for some reason the dirt path near the stadium has been paved.

The earth begins, silently keeping rich history and evidence of days gone by. On the high bank of the Yauza there are still pathetic remains of the TsNIIS test site, where they tested metro construction equipment - the remains of mines, supports and buildings. Most of complex was destroyed during the construction of residential buildings on the site of the Institute of the Way town. A little further south was the Beskudnikovskaya railway line, closed in 1987. Its traces are now difficult to read even from a height, but in the 90s there were still remains of sleepers and an embankment. Only the bridge over the Yauza has survived to this day in relatively good condition, but it was also converted for the needs of pedestrians.

Section from the railway bridge to the Sviblovsky spring

The swampy left bank below the converted bridge came under reconstruction in 2011. Before this, there were no decent roads here, but during the work, wooden paths and bridges were laid over open water. The site connects to previously opened paths in the Sviblovskaya bend. A small tributary, the so-called Sviblovsky stream, flows here.

In the Sviblovskaya bend of the Yauza, in 2008, a ring canal with a decorative pavilion, created three hundred years ago, was restored. A bridge was built across the river itself, located near the Sviblovsky spring, under the stairs descending from the high bank.

Below the Sviblovsky spring

After the spring there is a good road along the left bank of the Yauza. For a long time, a house was visible on the map, built illegally on a green lawn and demolished in 2007. On the left side stretches a high steep slope, at the top of which is the Sviblovo estate. Gradually turning left, the path leads to two Sviblovsky ponds, dug out in ancient times and connected by a narrow strait.

Sviblovsky ponds are nothing special. Walking around them, you can find the flow into the Yauza from the southern pond and a poster telling about the hard work of restorers who returned the reservoirs to an attractive appearance. Those who wish can cross the Yauza on the bridge here, but there is absolutely nothing to do there, and it is best to continue walking along the left bank.

Northern Pond

South Pond

The foot of the slope is mired in a swamp, so the path should be along the upper edge of the bank, through the grove. This is where the village of Sviblovo stood. To the east of the ponds on the hill is the territory of the Sviblovo estate with a church, accessible to visitors, reconstructed after abandonment.

To the east of the estate and the former village, despite the old age of the territory, there are practically no beautiful houses. You can note the interesting building of the former garage at 2nd Botanichesky Proezd, 13sa. Unfortunately, it is securely fenced with a dense fence on all sides. Around, on Botanichesky Proezds, there are several brick houses built in the 1950s-60s with an unusual number of floors - three (you can also add house 9k1 on Sedova Street to this group), but the number of floors is the only thing that makes them interesting, since they were built in a dull Khrushchev's time. There is an interesting block built in the 50s between Nansen Passage and Amundsen Street.

Institute of the Path

If you want to take walks in quiet provincial areas, I advise you to go in the area of Vereskovaya, Ivovaya, and Prosveshcheniya streets. Despite the alarming growth rate of the number of new houses, this area of Sviblovo is still a quiet corner, as it was before, before joining Moscow. Here are unique residential buildings, trees, and the very name of Enlightenment Street, which has survived time. On Igarsky Proezd there are buildings of the Institute of Railways (TsNIIS), creating between themselves a small quiet square, where there is a war memorial (and at first there was a monument to Stalin) and the final stop of bus No. 183, which has been coming here since 1966. Until 1987, the stop was called the “Path Institute platform”, since the station of the same name on the Beskudnikovskaya railway line was nearby.

It was decided to build the institute in the late 1920s on the border of the city of Losinoostrovsk, later renamed Babushkin, near the village of Sviblovo. The main (also known as Staroputeysky) building was erected in 1929-1930 in the mixed style characteristic of those years. The entrance group and the classic pre-war Stalinist facade, massive and slightly gloomy, look east towards the square. The interiors with the main staircase and conference room were designed in the same ceremonial style. But beyond the main entrance, the entire building is built in distinct forms of constructivism.

The western wing of the old building, which stretches along Igarsky Proezd, has completely clear features of a constructive style. Take, for example, the semicircular staircase ledge with vertical glazing in the middle of the façade. Part of the internal premises was sold to third parties - TsNIIS is now experiencing far from better times. In the first photo, high-rise buildings are visible in the distance, built on the site of the original village at the institute, demolished in 2005.

The northern part of the Staroputeysky building, closing the square on Ivovaya Street, is a gray massif, with large gates and a metal octopus, which has been pleasing a few guests for many years.

The shabby red building north of the historical TsNIIS building is a low-rise power plant with the address Igarsky Proezd, 2с2. A signaling device (siren) remained on its roof, clearly visible in the photo, and huge old poplars grew near the walls, of which only giant stumps overgrown with moss remained. Nearby is a rebuilt building, now in private hands, where the institute canteen was located, later converted into a club. It is listed on Willow Street at number 1.

In the backyard of the institute, where the nostalgic wooden cargo gate leads out, all sorts of fragments of curious shapes and outlines are piled up, slowly turning into garbage. Above them hangs an old crane, mounted on beams between two buildings and in working order. In a two-story building covering the courtyard from the west, there is a branch of the institute - the Bridges Research Center.
The hatches in the form of a matting with shading are of pre-war origin and were repeatedly found in the vicinity of Sokolniki and Krasnoselskaya. Here they were also used to design the first wave of construction.

A quiet square in front of the building where a monument to Stalin once stood. Now trees grow here and there is a monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. In the first photo in front you can see a four-story laboratory building, built in 1952-1953. On the second, the former club is visible through the tree branches, and you can see the red power plant on the left.

The four-story building of the laboratory building, built in 1952-1953 with modest decor and the inscription “TsNIIS” above the entrance, borders the area on the eastern side and extends with its left wing onto Igarsky Proezd. In the courtyard (and in the surrounding courtyards) KMZ-MPS hatches were discovered, which, according to assumptions, were made by the Kambarsky machine plant of the Ministry of Railways. And since they were made for the transport and railway institute, the participation of the Ministry of Railways plant looks completely logical.

The Beskudnikovskaya railway line was built in 1900-1901 to connect the Savelovsky direction, which did not yet have its own station, with Yaroslavsky. It existed until 1987, connecting these two radial directions of the Moscow Railway between the Beskudnikovo and Losinoostrovskaya stations. In the 1930s, the Institute of Railways appeared nearby in Sviblovo with its own town and testing complex, which accelerated the development of the railway both in cargo and technical significance, and in passenger traffic (passenger traffic was opened in the 40s). The line was single-track with sidings; there were 6 platforms in total, of which the Institute of the Way station was the first in 1945. The section of the line before it was electrified (in 1955 - the entire line). Without mentioning the Beskudnikovskaya Line, it is impossible to imagine the history of this area of Moscow.

The branch reached its peak in the 1950s, but after the expansion of Moscow it began to lose its importance and degrade. On September 10, 1966, due to the opening of a tram line that crossed the tracks, traffic on the Dzerzhinskaya-Losinoostrovskaya section was stopped, and the line became a dead end. According to the 1971 schedule, 11 pairs of electric trains passed along the BZhV per day (travel time to Dzerzhinskaya Square - 12-13 minutes). Usually one train operated in shuttle mode.

During the construction of the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya metro line and Sviblovo station in 1976, the section from Dzerzhinskaya to the Institute of the Way was closed. The Beskudnikovskaya line was finally closed in May 1987, when construction of the northern radius of the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya metro line began, and in the Otradnoe district, a station of the same name, multi-storey buildings and garages were built on the site of the tracks. In the Sviblovskaya part, various small artifacts remained for a long time, gradually disappearing - rails, sleepers, track infrastructure, traffic lights and poles, embankments and intersections. Most of all this wealth is long gone.

Near the Sviblovo metro station, a fragment of a dead-end branch rail was preserved for a long time, rolled into a pedestrian path (pictured). Unfortunately, this small monument also disappeared due to construction. shopping center, for which they did not hesitate to destroy the nearby wooden church.

In the first photo - Igarsky passage, starting near the Sviblovo metro station and passing along the new buildings of TsNIIS, past several surviving power transmission towers that supplied railway in her final years. After the Dzerzhinskaya platform was dismantled, electricity was supplied through them to the preserved area near the Institute of the Way. You can see spacers on one of the pillars, and even insulators on the next one.

Prosveshcheniya Street departs from Igarsky Proezd at an oblique angle, but there is no direct exit to it - previously the street ended in a dead end, as it abutted the Vatutinskoye railway branch, and this disposition still makes itself felt. The photo shows the passage to the west of the described place. And another checkerboard hatch, found on Prosveshcheniya Street in the shadow of a new building.

Residential area around TsNIIS

Most of the old houses that we can see around the institute complex were built during the post-war heyday of low-rise construction. On Vereskovaya Street (until 1964 - Druzhby Street in the city of Babushkin) there are several two-story buildings erected in the late 1940s with the participation of German prisoners of war. Around Prosveshcheniye and Vereskovaya are later ones, built in the same style characteristic of the late 50s, but by Soviet builders.
There is not a single building on Prosveshcheniya Street (except perhaps the newest buildings), and the houses in the photo facing this street are also assigned to the neighboring Ivovaya (No. 5) and Vereskova (No. 12), since only they had names and were more important in the toponymy of the village. At the corner of the last house in the row, number 12k1 on Vereskovaya Street, there once hung an old glass clock - broken, but quite recognizable. They disappeared in 2010.

A cozy courtyard among the buildings, as it should be. Immediately on the left is house No. 5 on Ivovaya Street (until 1964 - Mira Street), further on No. 12k2, and in the distance across are buildings facing Vereskovaya Street. Another hatch from the repair and rental base from Chisinau (former OSVU) on the lawn belongs to the neighboring, much simpler-looking building from 1957 in the shape of a bracket (Ivovaya, 7). Even here his text turned out to be very worn out.

Two-story buildings on Vereskovaya. In the first photo - probably the most pleasant to look at, abundantly overgrown with greenery, No. 4 with 12 apartments, built in 1950. On the entrance side it has a small garden, but there is no passage for cars - standing here, it’s easy to forget that the city of Moscow is around. At someone's whim, the ground underfoot is decorated with several hatches with the double inscription "Drain" - a typical Moscow series of those years, and from the street near the house you can see an early, smaller version of the YARMZ cover.

House No. 7, built in 1948, and house No. 5, non-residential and very old. During the time of the institute campus there was a nursery here, then a clinic, then a residential building, and now the building is again occupied by organizations.
