VAO
The Eastern Administrative District of Moscow is most often called “the most.” This is a cocktail of a variety of incompatible things. The Eastern District sets records in all areas of life. It can be included in the “most B” according to a number of criteria:
This is the greenest district of Moscow. The percentage of greenery is approximately 45%. This includes parks such as Losiny Island, Kuskovsky and Terletsky forest parks, Sokolniki, Izmailovsky and Perovsky parks of culture and recreation.
This is the largest district in terms of area. It occupies one sixth of the capital's land area. Its population is 1.5 million people, and the population density is lower, which is due to the large part of the territory given over to industrial zones and forests.
This is the most well-endowed metropolitan district. Total quantity metro stations - 15.
This is the most environmentally stressed district of the capital. There are about 90 hazardous industries located on its territory. Transport problems add a percentage to the district's pollution.
This is the most traffic-congested district of the capital
This is the oldest housing stock. Construction here began during the time of Peter I.
This is one of the most crime-prone districts of the capital, it ranks 2nd in crime.
Ecology of the district.
As mentioned above, the Eastern District is one of the top three in terms of pollution. It’s a shame to be such a dirty district, having a third of the entire green zone of Moscow.
Firstly, environmental situation disrupt traffic jams on 2 huge highways in the city. Entuziastov Highway and Shchelkovskoe Highway are experiencing constant congestion due to continuous shuttle movement numerous cars.
Secondly, this is the district’s industry, which accounts for approximately 15% of all harmful emissions. Industrial zone B is located along the Enthusiastov Highway Falcon Mountain B" and B"SpotlightB". The Moscow NefteproductV plant and the Moscow Electrode Plant add to the environmentally unfavorable situation. The Kaloshina industrial zone occupies 507 hectares and covers 4 districts of the district. The most dangerous industrial enterprises are: CHPP-23, Cherkizovsky meat processing plant and a branch of the Mikoyanovsky meat processing plant. As was customary before, the outskirts of the districts are ecologically clean zones, devoid of any attack from the outside on the ecology of the region. But not in the case of the Eastern District. The Kosino-Ukhtomsky district contains a waste incineration plant on its territory.
Thirdly, the westerly wind drives toxic winds into areas of the district. If the Sokoliny district is protected from this by the park of the same name, then Sokolinaya Gora and Perovo remain open to the toxic waste of our capital.
As far as they can, these disadvantages cover up the district's selective advantages. The Sokolniki, Izmailovo, Bogorodsky and Metrogorodka districts are adjacent to the Losiny Ostrov forest park, Sokolniki and Izmailovsky parks. As many as three districts of this district are among the most environmentally friendly. The first place is occupied by the Ivanovskoye district, surrounded on all sides by parks, the Sokolniki district is in third place, and Izmailovo is in fifth place.
District population.
Representatives of the Eastern District are the working class, this is due to the large number of industrial zones. In addition to them, on the territory of the district there are 2 largest bus stations in Moscow, whose employees live nearby. But nevertheless, among the working class, there are inclusions of the intelligentsia, these are those representatives who held positions at industrial enterprises as engineers and scientific and technical employees. The Sokolniki district stands out from the general population. This is the only area of the district where there is luxury housing and wealthy families live.
County history
The territory that the Eastern Administrative District occupies today has long been loved by Russian sovereigns as a place for hunting and recreation. IN late XVII century, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who loved falconry, built his palace here. And real glory was brought to these places by his son, Peter I, who began to gather Amusement Troops here - the prototype of the regular Russian army.
Geography of the district.
There are 16 districts in the Eastern District. These are mainly residential areas housing 1.5 million people.
Sokolniki district.
Sokolniki is a place that stands out from all other districts of the Eastern District. There is good ecology and close proximity to the center. The ecological situation is ensured by the park of the same name, which occupies two-thirds of the entire area. In addition to the green zone, it is also a center of cultural and sports life. The convenient location of the area allows you to quickly reach the center by any type of transport. The infrastructure of the area is also excellent. Property prices start at 6.5 million.
Sokolinaya Gora area
The biggest advantage of this area is its transport availability. Two metro lines pass through the area and three stations open. Just a few minutes by metro and you are already in the center of the capital. Despite its close proximity to the center, this area is not considered prosperous. There are about 80 enterprises and 3 operating industrial zones, and there is a complete lack of greenery. Air quality is the lowest in the area, which discourages potential buyers. What cannot be said about the infrastructure, it covers up the disadvantages of the environmental situation. The housing development here is brick houses. Prices start from 4.5 million.
Preobrazhenskoye District
This is the most ancient area of the entire district. It meets the standard good area: equidistant from both the Moscow Ring Road and the center, it has excellent transport accessibility, 2 metro stations and developed infrastructure. On its territory there is Cherkizovsky Park and Lokomotiv Stadium. You can buy a good one-room apartment here for 5.5 million, a two-room apartment for 6.5 million.
Bogorodskoye district.
This is a very cozy green area, half of which is occupied by Losiny Ostrov; to the west it is adjacent to Sokolniki Park, which indicates its most favorable environmental situation. The most hazardous industries in the region have already stopped operating. The transport issue has been resolved here in the best possible way. There is a metro station and two railway platforms. Unfortunately, there are no full-fledged shopping centers in this area; the infrastructure is not as well developed as in neighboring areas of the Eastern District. But the attractiveness of this area is its squeeze between two forest parks and its separation from the bustle of the capital. The price category of apartments here starts from 4.5 million.
Metrotown area.
An old district for the working class, founded in the 20s, which was later converted for metro workers. One tenth of this area is populated, 10% is allocated to the KaloshinoV industrial zone, the rest is the Losiny Ostrov forest park. The price category for the area for apartments starts from 4 million
Golyanovo
This is the most densely populated area, which contains a population of 158 thousand people. With such a dense population, there is only one metro station. Also, in this area there is part of the KaloshinoV industrial zone. Yes, and it’s hard to call this area prosperous – Moscow’s largest bus station is located here. Housing prices start at 4.3 million.
Izmailovo District
Half of the area is occupied by Izmailovsky Park. This is a civilized place with paths, rivers and ponds, clean air. Another attraction of the area is the Izmailovsky Stadium and the so-called “Izmailovsky Kremlin” adjacent to it, which has nothing to do with it, but was erected on a vacant lot in 2000. The Kremlin has both 5 operating museums and Vernissage, which is simply a flea market where you can buy whatever you want. The unprosperity of the area is due to the Izmailovo bus station and the Izmailovo hotel complex. This area contains a lot of new series of houses. Approximate housing prices start at 5 million.
Ivanovskoe district.
This area is a quiet place, surrounded on one side by the Terletskaya oak forest, and on the other side by the adjacent Izmailovsky Park. And despite the fact that the Entuziastov Highway passes through this area, it is a leader in its environmental cleanliness. The infrastructure of this area is developed accordingly; residents do not need cafes, shops, or shopping centers. It doesn't have its own subway, but that's not a problem. Transport facilities are so well developed that residents of the area do not notice this small oversight. Housing is represented by panel multi-storey buildings, the price of which starts at 5 million.
Perovo and Novogireevo districts.
Perovo is one of the largest districts of Moscow. Perovo was a town near Moscow, which in 1991 joined Moscow, and from which the districts of Perovo and Novogireevo subsequently emerged. The entire western part of both districts is an industrial zone. Here there is CHPP-11 with an extensive fuel oil facility, the Nefteproduct plant, the reinforced concrete plant No. 21, and many less hazardous industries. The environmental disadvantages are mitigated by the adjacent Izmailovsky Park and Perovsky Park. Novogireevo is located more successfully - next to it is the Kuskovsky Forest Park. Each district has 2 metro stations. The infrastructure is much better developed than in any residential area. For motorists the situation is somewhat worse. The fact is that the only connecting highway with the center is the Enthusiasts Highway. On average, motorists spend approximately 3 hours on the road.
Veshnyaki district.
The district occupies the eastern part of the county. The attraction of the area is Kuskovsky Park and the estate of the Sheremetyev family located in it. Another green area is Rainbow Park with many ponds and sports grounds. There are completely no industrial enterprises in the area, which has a positive effect on the environmental situation. The district contains the Moscow Humanitarian University with an extensive park area. Among other large infrastructure, the territory of the district includes City Clinical Hospital No. 15 named after. Filatov, Moscow's largest multi-disciplinary medical center, clinical base of two medical institutes and four research institutes. 2 metro stations open in the area. For motorists, the situation is as tense as in the Novogireevo and Perovo districts. Property prices start at 3.6 million.
Kosino-Ukhtomsky district.
A very controversial area that has spread beyond the Moscow Ring Road for 6 km. Firstly, this is a picturesque place with three crystal clear lakes. Secondly, there is a waste incineration plant in close proximity to the area. There are three microdistricts in this area: Kozhukhovo, Kosino and the village of Ukhtomsky. In the Kosino microdistrict there are three lakes and dilapidated Khrushchev buildings, private houses on the outskirts. The village of Ukhtomsky is exclusively private buildings. Kozhukhovo is the youngest district with new multi-storey residential buildings. The price for primary housing starts from 4.4 million.
Novokosino.
A classic residential area located outside the Moscow Ring Road. The densest development in the vastness of Moscow. 104 thousand people live on an area of 3.5 sq. km. This area is devoid of industrial enterprises. Regarding population density, there is good infrastructure here. In almost all multi-storey buildings, the first floors are rented out for numerous shops, cafes, hairdressers and other places of leisure. There is also 1 metro station in the area. There are no dilapidated housing here, prices start from 3.5 million.
District Vostochny
The last area, located outside the Moscow Ring Road. In addition to its own village, Vostochny, it includes the village of Akulovo. The district contains the largest Eastern water treatment station in Moscow. This area can be called an established workers' village, with houses of 2-4 floors, the population of which is not large and numbers 12 thousand people. New buildings are located next door, already in the region. Prices start at 3.5 million.
Attractions.
The Eastern District is the history of Peter’s times, which found itself in the architecture of park buildings. The Kuskovo Estate Museum is a place of constant pilgrimage for tourists. There are ponds, parks, gardens, marble statues, unique facades. Elk Rest is another pride of the district. This is the only forest in Moscow. More civilized, but just as extensive, are the Sokolniki and Izmailovo parks. It’s not for nothing that they are united under the name “Park of Culture and Recreation”. Here you can spend any kind of leisure time: from a relaxing family holiday to an active one with a large group. Terlektsy forest park neighbors Izmailovsky, not inferior to it in its picturesqueness. The Roman Viktyuk Theater operates in Sokolniki. The theater and concert hall "Palace on the Yauza" will also brighten up your evening.
The Eastern Administrative District is an amazing metropolitan cocktail in which absolutely incompatible things are closely intertwined. It is, perhaps, more often than other Moscow districts referred to as “the most.” Only more than half of such assessments are not in his favor, and add enough minuses to the karma of the district.
As a result, the Eastern Administrative District became known in the public consciousness as being far from attractive and uncomfortable for living. However, this is just public opinion, which does not claim to be true. And if you look carefully, many seekers will find their gold mine here.
As noted above, VAO sets records in almost all areas of life. Judge for yourself. Eastern administrative district is:
- The greenest district in Moscow. 45% of all the capital's green areas are concentrated here. On the territory of the Eastern Administrative District there is the largest park in Moscow, Losiny Ostrov, Kuskovsky and Terletsky forest parks, as well as the famous cultural and recreation parks Sokolniki, Izmailovsky and Perovsky.
- The largest in area. The district occupies one sixth of the capital's land; 1.5 million people live on its territory, which is the second figure in Moscow. At the same time, the population density in the district is significantly lower than the Moscow average. Just don’t think that it’s more spacious to live here: the vast non-residential areas occupied by industrial zones and forests are “to blame.”
- The best equipped with metro stations in the capital. Four of the twelve lines of the Moscow Metro run in the Eastern District. And the total number of metro stations is 15. The last of them, Novokosino station, was inaugurated on August 30, 2012 by the President of Russia himself.
But with all this, the Eastern District:
- One of the most environmentally intense. More than 90 hazardous industries are located on its territory; Constant traffic jams on the main transport arteries of the district also have a detrimental effect on the environment.
- The most traffic-congested district of the capital, along with the neighboring South-Eastern district. The Enthusiast Highway, for example, stops almost 24 hours a day.
- The oldest housing stock in Moscow. And this is not surprising, because the settlement of the district’s territories began in the 17th century, in the era of Peter I...
- The highest concentration of illegal labor migrants was observed in the Eastern District in those recent times when the Cherkizovsky market operated here. Currently, they say, the number of market illegal immigrants has decreased by almost half. Although many doubt this, citing the well-known fact that there are never fewer Vietnamese and Chinese people anywhere.
- One of the most crime-prone in the capital. The county ranks second in total crime. On the one hand, the larger the population, the more crimes there are. However, certain areas of the district are recognized by many experts as the most dangerous in Moscow: these are Golyanovo and Izmailovo.
One can only wonder how the Eastern District combines the incompatible: the “green lungs” of the capital and the intolerable ecology, tens of square kilometers of industrial zones and masterpieces of Russian architecture. Numerous architectural monuments and the geographical names of the Eastern District are stored historical memory about the affairs of bygone days, inscribed in the annals of the Russian state. For example, the Kuskovo estate, belonging to the clan Sheremetev and built in the style of imperial parks near St. Petersburg. Today it is one of the architectural pearls of Moscow, and is an object of cultural heritage of Russia.
The areas of Sokolinaya Gora and Sokolniki are reminiscent of the places of falconry, the favorite pastime of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. And his son, the future Emperor Peter I, spent his youth in the village of Preobrazhenskoye (today the district of the same name in the Eastern Administrative District). These places are famous for the fact that it was here that the Russian regular army and navy were born.
In Izmailovskoye, young Peter found and tested the famous boot, which became “grandfather Russian fleet", and in Semenovskaya Sloboda he created the first amusing regiments. The Semenovsky, Preobrazhensky and Izmailovsky regiments formed on their basis became the foundation of the Russian regular army. All these names are well known among Muscovites and are immortalized in the names of districts, streets and metro stations in the Eastern District.
Ecology of the district: obvious and incredible
The environmental situation in the Eastern District is one of its pain points. It’s really a shame, having half of Moscow’s green spaces on its territory, to be one of the three most polluted metropolitan districts! The Eastern District was unlucky in several directions.
First. Motor transport causing up to 90% of pollution atmospheric air, on the highways of the Eastern District it works at full capacity and without breaks, and constant traffic jams only aggravate the problem. Both outbound highways of the district - Entuziastov Highway and Shchelkovskoye - experience regular congestion due to shuttle traffic from the region to the city and back of numerous motor vehicles. Basically, these are worn-out trucks, so to speak, vehicles, for the operation of which their owners in any European country would face a decent prison sentence. It should be noted that the private vehicles of the district residents are not particularly fresh: foreign cars over 10 years old make up the absolute majority here.
Second. The district's industry makes a significant contribution to air pollution. On the scale of Moscow, this amounts to up to 15% of all harmful emissions into the capital’s atmosphere. There are three industrial zones with a high degree of environmental hazard on the territory of the district. Along the Entuziastov highway there are the Sokolinaya Gora industrial zones (in the district of the same name) and Prozhektor in the Perovo district, exacerbating the already difficult ecological situation for this area. Most of the disasters come from the Moscow Nefteprodukt plant owned by the Rosneft company and the Moscow Electrode Plant, which emits more than 550 tons of pollutants into the atmosphere per year.
The Kaloshino industrial zone, the largest in the district, covers an area of 507 hectares and covers as many as four neighboring districts of the Eastern Administrative District. Its northern border abuts the Losiny Ostrov park, which partly compensates for the destructive impact on the environment of the man-made objects contained in Kaloshino. The greatest danger is posed by CHPP-23, the Cherkizovsky meat processing plant and a branch of the Mikoyanovsky meat processing plant.
Moscow districts located outside the Moscow Ring Road traditionally have better ecology than usual urban areas, but in the case of the Eastern District, this rule does not work. Around the largest castle district of the Eastern Administrative District of Kosino-Ukhtomsky, it is not flower gardens that are laid out, but city landfills and incinerators, the toxic waste of which many times outweighs the expected benefits from such facilities.
Third. The prevailing westerly winds in Moscow have significantly worsened the situation in the district areas bordering the center and south-east of the capital, bringing harmful emissions from their neighbors to their territory. And if the Sokolniki district is protected from smog from the center by the park of the same name, the Sokolinaya Gora and Perovo districts remain open to all winds, carrying selected toxins and soot here from the center and from the industrial zones of south-eastern Lefortovo.
As a result, the Sokolinaya Gora and Perovo districts are the most environmentally unfavorable in the district. They are experiencing a triple blow from the congested Entuziastov Highway, the “native” industrial zones “Prozhektor” and “Sokolinaya Gora”, as well as from the enterprises of the neighboring South-Eastern District, which is facilitated by regular westerly winds.
But there is no reason to be very sad about environmental collapse, since there is more than one protected area in the Eastern District. Still, the “green lungs” of the capital are doing their job, and you can breathe calmly in the areas next to the Losiny Ostrov forest park, Sokolniki and Izmailovsky parks, that is, in the Sokolniki, Izmailovo, Bogorodsky and Metrogorodka districts.
Incredible, but true: as many as three districts of the Eastern District are among the five most environmentally friendly districts of Moscow. The first place (across the capital!) is occupied by the Ivanovskoye district, surrounded by Izmailovsky Park and the Terletskaya oak grove, 3rd place by Sokolniki and 5th place by Izmailovo. Apparently, it’s worth coming to terms with the unpredictability of the Eastern District once and for all.
Population of the district: we are not stokers, not carpenters
The vast territories of the Eastern District are almost entirely populated by representatives of the working class. This is partly due to a large number industrial facilities, the operation of which at one time required an army of low-skilled labor. The districts of Perovo, Sokolinaya Gora and Golyanovo in this sense are the quintessence of the proletariat, since they contain the main industrial zones of the district.
In addition to industrial enterprises, in the Eastern District there are two of Moscow's largest bus stations, the personnel of which, naturally, live nearby. In the Golyanovo area, near the Shchelkovskaya metro station, there is the Central Bus Station, and in Izmailovo, in the Partizanskaya metro area, there is the no smaller Izmailovskaya bus station for intercity and suburban routes.
The population of the Metrogorodok district is dominated by employees of the Moscow Metro, which is already clear from its name. Back in the gray 1920s, the Metrostroy base was actively functioning here, whose workers lived in the barracks next door, and in the post-war period, a village appeared in the area, completely populated by personnel serving the Moscow metro.
Is it worth mentioning that the financial, cultural and educational level of the predominant contingent in the district is far from being up to par, which affects the condition of courtyard areas and leads to an increase in street crime. And in certain residential areas of Golyanovo and Izmailovsky, which are more reminiscent of New York ghettos, you can meet outright marginalized people.
And yet, in the social cross-section of the Eastern District there are few inclusions of the intelligentsia. The same industrial facilities of the district attracted a certain percentage of engineers and scientific and technical workers here for permanent residence. The population of Sokolniki, the only district of the Eastern Administrative District with luxury housing, is also more prosperous. The standard of living is higher here, so mostly wealthy families live in Sokolniki, which better side affects the microclimate of the area.
For several years now, in the Eastern District, the birth rate has slightly exceeded the death rate. The most high density population is observed in Novokosino, which is associated with the active development of almost every piece of land in this young Moscow district. It is easiest for residents of Metrotown to breathe: both due to the low population density and due to the proximity to Losiny Ostrov Park.
Geographical separation: you are all so different...
There are 16 districts in the Eastern District. Each of them is individual and sometimes significantly different from its neighbors. There are areas that preserve history, which became the adolescent cradle of the future Emperor of Russia Peter I. There are many industrially oriented areas in the Eastern District, even more “bedrooms”: accommodating 1.5 million people is no joke.
Sokolniki district: harmony in everything
Sokolniki became a happy exception to the rule called the Eastern Administrative District, being the most attractive and only prestigious area in it. This is the unanimous opinion of analysts, ordinary citizens and developers of luxury housing, who have put their keen eye exclusively on this area from the entire Eastern District.
Two indestructible trump cards of Sokolniki are its excellent ecology for Moscow and its proximity to the center. The first is provided by Sokolniki Park, which occupies 2/3 of the area of the district. It is not just a green area, but also a center of cultural and sports life, offering guests a large selection of sports entertainment, from rental of roller skates and skis (seasonally) to a sports and recreation complex, tennis courts and a go-kart track.
Udachnoe geographical location Sokolnikov allows you to get to the center in a matter of minutes, either by metro or by car. And walking from Sokolniki to the square of three stations is just a stone's throw away. The area's infrastructure, especially in the healthcare sector, is the envy of many residents of the more prestigious central areas of the capital. For example, in terms of staffing of hospitals and clinics, Sokolniki confidently holds first place throughout Moscow.
There are also no problems with kindergartens, schools and universities: for every 5 thousand residents of the region there is one kindergarten and school, and for every 7 thousand - higher education educational institution. So full course training can be completed without leaving your native, or now native, area. By the way, the asking price for those wishing to register in Sokolniki: to buy a modest one-room apartment in a nine-story panel within walking distance from the metro will cost 6.5 million, a two-room apartment - 7.5 million, rent for a 1-2 room apartment will be 30 and 35 thousand, respectively.
Sokolinaya Gora district: breathe - don’t breathe
The area owes its beautiful name to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, a falconry enthusiast who located his falconry here. However, under Peter I, the birds were supplanted by the vigilantes of the Semenovskaya Soldiers' Settlement, the first location of the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment, whose name is immortalized in the names of three streets in the district, a square and a metro station.
The biggest advantage of the area is its transport availability. Two metro lines passing through Sokolinaya Gora completely eliminate the problem of communication with the city. Three metro stations are available to residents of the district, and a fourth, Aviamotornaya, located a hundred meters beyond the border of the district. By personal vehicle, you can get to the center along Entuziastov Highway, or along Bolshaya Semenovskaya via Bakunina Street. Five minutes - and you are in the central Basmanny district of Moscow.
And yet, despite the advantageous proximity to the Central District, the Sokolinaya Gora area is not prestigious. The reason for this is the proximity of residential areas to industrial enterprises, of which there are more than 80 in the area, and the complete absence of green areas, which is uncharacteristic for the Eastern Administrative District. But there are three industrial zones: “Brick Streets”, “Semyonovskaya” and “Sokolinaya Gora”.
25-storey building on Izmailovskoe highway
The air quality here is among the worst in the county, putting off many potential home buyers. The same cannot be said about the infrastructure of the area. A population of 87 thousand people is served by three hospitals, one children's and two adult clinics, more than 20 kindergartens, 10 schools and 5 universities. In Sokolinaya Gora there is the Wings of the Soviets stadium, an Olympic reserve swimming school and even a dolphinarium.
Large shopping centers focused on the basic needs of residents are open next to each metro station. The most famous among them is the Semenovsky shopping center. And on Budyonny Avenue there is the Budenovsky shopping center, a mecca for professional computer scientists.
The main buildings in the area are brick houses, which, however, do not sparkle with prestige due to their age and simplicity. Many of them were built for their employees by local enterprises at the beginning of the last century. But you can buy an apartment here for almost nothing: you will pay 4.5-5 million for a one-room apartment, 6.5 million for a two-room apartment. Of course, this will be downright economical, but still Moscow housing 4 km from the Garden Ring.
Preobrazhenskoye district. Homeland of the Russian Guard and Navy
Perhaps this is the most famous area of the Eastern District. It unites former lands ancient villages of Cherkizovo and Preobrazhenskoye. In the history of the Russian state, the second played a key role in its time. Peter I built the Soldatskaya Sloboda in this once royal residence, where he stationed his amusing regiments, the prototype of the Russian regular army. The Preobrazhensky Regiment became the first guards regiment of the famous Russian army.
And the bank of the small Yauza River became the birthplace of the Russian fleet, where the young emperor launched the first boat, which he found in an abandoned barn at the Izmailovo farm. A little later, a shipyard appeared here, supplying the Russian fleet with new warships, and Preobrazhenskoye was the informal capital of the Russian Empire for two decades.
The modern appearance of Preobrazhensky meets the standard of a good Moscow district: equidistant from the center and the Moscow Ring Road, moderately containing non-hazardous enterprises, excellent transport accessibility, 2 metro stations, a sufficient number of medical and educational facilities, affordable housing, Cherkizovsky Park and the best Lokomotiv stadium in the country.
If the area cannot be called comfortable due to insufficient ecology, then it certainly does not evoke negative emotions. You can buy a good one-room apartment here for 5 million, a two-room apartment for 6 million. Rented housing will cost about 25 thousand for a one-room apartment and 30 thousand for a two-room apartment.
Bogorodskoye district. A big secret for such a small company
The neighbor of the prestigious Sokolniki is the cozy Bogorodskoye district. Northern half Its territory is occupied by the Losiny Ostrov National Park, which also covers its northeastern part. And in the west, the area neighbors Sokolniki Park. The result is a very advantageous location in all respects.
Once the industrial outskirts of Moscow, today the area has virtually no operating enterprises, which has a beneficial effect on its ecology. The most harmful and large industries in the region: the Krasny Bogatyr plant, the Moskozhkombinat and the Alfaplastic association - some earlier and some not so long ago ceased to exist or were moved outside the capital's residential area.
The housing here is quite old, the buildings are dense. Basically, 9-12-story panel houses predominate, but there are many Khrushchev-era buildings and earlier brick houses built in 1950, built by German prisoners of war. In some neighborhoods there is a provincial atmosphere, and there is no feeling of Moscow at all. Apartments are relatively inexpensive: one-room housing can be found for 4.5 million, two-room housing for 6 million.
Brick Khrushchev on the street. Ivanteevskaya
The transport issue has traditionally been resolved in the best possible way for the Eastern Administrative District. In the area there is the metro station “Ulitsa Podbelskogo” (although such a street has not been on the map of Moscow for twenty years) and two railway platforms: “Yauza” and “Belokamennaya”. In the best traditions of old Moscow, eco-friendly trams run around the area. And not a couple of strays, but a full 9 routes. The good news is that there are no traffic jams in this particular area. True, forays “into the city” cannot do without this attribute of civilization.
And you have to go to the center. At a minimum, for work, which is scarce in the area itself, and for shopping, since there are no modern shopping centers in Bogorodskoye either. All that the local trade sector can offer the buyer are ancient shops left over from Soviet times.
This area, although it accommodates as many as 103 thousand residents, is still perceived as intimate. Far from the noise of the capital's highways, sandwiched between two largest forest parks, close to the center, but unfamiliar to the general public, it is a godsend for citizens tired of the bustle of the capital, but not ready to settle far away in order to spend half their life on the road between home and Moscow .
Metrotown area. Quiet in the forest...
An old district that arose in the 20s of the last century as a working town for construction workers, and subsequently for workers of the Moscow Metro. This area consists of only two residential blocks, not occupying even 1/10 of its area, in which 36 thousand people live. Another 10% of the land falls on a piece of the Kaloshino industrial zone, and the rest is the Losiny Ostrov National Park. Therefore, here is the lowest arithmetic population density within the boundaries of the Moscow Ring Road.
Many people enthusiastically describe the wonderful ecology of Metrotown, but both of its residential areas do not feel so calm. Firstly, across the road from the 2nd quarter of the Metrotown there is a source of increased environmental hazard equal in area - CHPP-23. The dangerous semi-ring around the unfortunate quarter is closed by Mospromzhelezobeton OJSC and the Metromash plant. And such proximity is critical.
The situation is aggravated by the glaring fact that in the same ill-fated 2nd quarter there are still five “phenolic” houses that are dangerous to life! During the construction of these experimental houses, slabs with cheap insulation impregnated with phenol-formaldehyde resin were used. Over time, the slabs cracked, spreading phenol vapors into living spaces and slowly poisoning their inhabitants. Some mutant in the 1970s came up with this crazy idea, but it’s the 21st century, and people still live in phenolic houses...
The 1st and 2nd “a” quarters of Metrogorodok border on the forest, which is beneficial, but somewhat wild. Moreover, there is no metro in the area, and only three roads lead here from the city, each of which turns out to be a complex, winding route. Apartments, if anyone might need them here, cost 4 million and 5 million for 1- and 2-room apartments, respectively. It's only cheaper for nothing.
Golyanovo district. Think for yourself, decide for yourself
A classic residential area adjacent to the Moscow Ring Road and containing a significant part of the industrial enterprises of the Kaloshino industrial zone, already familiar to the reader. The most live here large number residents of the Eastern District - 158 thousand people. And Golyanovo is quite big in size: 15th place in Moscow with 15 square meters. km area. At the same time, there is only one metro station, and it is constantly overloaded due to the Shchelkovo bus station, located next door.
The main development consists of economy class housing, and was carried out in the 60-70s. The only thing that pleases is the housing prices: the average cost of a one-room apartment is 4.3 million, a two-room apartment is sold for 5.6 million, and for 6.5 million you will become the owner of a three-room apartment. There are several reasons for this: distance from the metro, population density and its disadvantaged composition, bad environment and high crime rates.
Golyanovo has a large and only bus station in the city, so the area around the Shchelkovskaya metro station, and even more remote areas, are far from safe. There are also many young people from dysfunctional families here, who make up the Gopnik subculture that fills the Golyanovsky streets and courtyards. All this exacerbates the problem of street crime.
A common sight here is broken windows of parked cars, the radios from which are sold right there to drivers at the bus station. Attacks on people and open stops also surprise few people, including law enforcement officials, who record several more serious crimes every day. Of course, the area is not the most dangerous, but still many people prefer not to visit it unless necessary, especially in the dark.
An area of which there are many, or Manhattan in Izmailovo style
It is both Northern and Eastern. It's not a mystery, it's all about Izmailovo. On the map of the Eastern District, three districts are called this way. Syntactically, the difference between them is only in the cardinal directions, but in practice there are much more differences.
Although these three territories became independent units recently, during the reform of the 90s, when the slaves of the then mayor Gavriil Popov famously sawed Moscow into 120 pieces. Then Izmailovo also fell under the distribution, which turned from an integral administrative unit into four districts. True, South Izmailovo very quickly ceased to exist, becoming part of the Ivanovskoye district.
The most striking attraction is the Izmailovo district itself, half of which is occupied by the civilized Izmailovo Park. These are asphalt paths, 5 ponds and the Serebryanka River, clean territory and the same air. True, some visitors complain about its chemical taste due to the Electrode Plant, located near the Shosse Entuziastov metro station. But who is sniffing what...
Next to the Izmailovo stadium, popularly nicknamed “Horseshoe”, stands the Izmailovo Kremlin, despite its name, which has absolutely nothing to do with history and was built in the 2000s on a vacant lot. Its architectural design is a classic example of Soviet eclecticism, where wooden log houses with platbands are adjacent to metal beams covered with boards and polycarbonate roofs. The most visited object of the Kremlin is not the museums, of which there are as many as 5, but Vernissage, simply a flea market, where there is everything from souvenirs and paintings to antiques and unnecessary household items.
The glorious composition is crowned by the Izmailovo bus station and the Izmailovo hotel complex, commonly known as Abvgdeyka, by the names of its buildings Alpha, Beta, Vega and Gamma-Delta. To be honest, these places cannot be called prosperous. During the time of the Cherkizovsky market, the complex and surrounding areas were occupied by guests from Southeast Asia. The constant attributes of such a contingent are street crime, polluted yards, “black cash”, illegal casinos and brothels, criminal showdowns, etc.
At present, there is no talk of any “cleanliness of the territories.” It was not possible to completely uproot Cherkizon, the structure and people that had been developed over the years remained, so guests of the capital try to avoid this place, and not all of them decide to settle in Abvgdeyk.
The insignificant northeastern part of Izmailovo is occupied by residential neighborhoods, with their regular geometric shape reminiscent of the neighborhoods of Manhattan. The Western trend can also be seen in street names. There are three Spinning Streets and as many as sixteen Park Streets. Eastern Izmailovo continues this geometry, which ends at the border with the Moscow Ring Road with greenhouses and greenhouses of Moszelenkhoz.
And finally, Northern Izmailovo, also entirely occupied by residential areas. The only consolation for residents is the small Lilac Garden, but there are more disadvantages: one of the sides of the triangle formed by the district’s borders is the polluted Shchelkovskoye Highway, and the only metro station Shchelkovskaya is not only shared with neighboring Golyanovo, but also brings right side“Click” is the accompanying trouble at the bus station.
But there are a lot of modern houses of a new series here, which have grown on the site of demolished khrushchev houses. In this regard, the residents of Eastern and “ordinary” Izmailovo were greatly deprived, continuing to while away their days in post-war buildings, many of which were erected by captured Germans.
Approximate prices for Izmailovskaya real estate are as follows: 5 million, 6 and 8 million for a 1-, 2- and 3-room apartment. It’s a little cheaper in East and North. Rent can be called affordable: one-room apartment - 25, two-room apartment - 30-35, three-room apartments are only available in Izmailovo and will cost about 45 thousand.
Ivanovskoe district. Not young, but green
This small area is a residential area surrounded by the picturesque Terletskaya oak grove with a system of unique ponds and Izmailovsky Park (its eastern part). This makes Ivanovskoye one of the most environmentally friendly areas of Moscow, despite the Enthusiasts Highway passing through its territory. Although residents of houses whose windows overlook the Moscow Ring Road do not agree with this, they are forced to live in conditions of constant noise coming from this highway.
The local Arbat of Ivanovsky is rightfully considered to be Molostov and Sayanskaya streets, which contain countless shops, boutiques, shopping centers and cafes. The district also has a well-developed infrastructure: things are excellent with clinics, schools and kindergartens, despite the maximum permissible distance of the district from the Moscow Ring Road. There are no metro stations in Ivanovsky - no problem! Svobodny Prospekt (6 bus routes and the same number of minibuses to help you) will lead directly to the Novogireevo metro station, which is no more than 500 meters on foot for residents of the 74th quarter of Ivanovsky...
The main development of Ivanovsky is 9-12-story buildings with spacious courtyards. There are practically no five-story buildings. And real estate prices are among the lowest in Moscow: 4 million will be asked for a one-room apartment, and a two-room apartment will cost about 5 million. Rent is also frankly encouraging: one-room apartment - 16 thousand, two-room apartment - 20-25 thousand, three-room apartment - 30 thousand .
Perovo and Novogireevo. City within a city
Perovo is one of the largest districts of Moscow, Novogireevo has with it common roots. The former town of Perovo near Moscow was annexed to Moscow in 1960 and became the Perovsky district, from which the Perovo and Novogireevo districts emerged in 1991. The direction of their development was obvious - the industrial outskirts of Moscow. How things are changing! After all, these places used to be vast grounds for royal hunting, from which the name of the future region came. More than 136 thousand residents live in Perovo, 95 thousand in Novogireevo.
The entire western part of both districts is entirely devoted to the industrial zone - a product of global industrialization. Moreover, for Perovo it is one of the most harmful. Here is CHPP-11, and not alone, but with an extensive fuel oil facility, and the patrimony of Rosneft - the Nefteproduct plant, and the reinforced concrete plant No. 21, and many less dangerous industries. And the residential part of the area is located on the leeward side of the industrial zone... not at all comme il faut
True, the situation is smoothed out by Izmailovsky Park, adjacent to the northern border of Perovo, and small, but local Perovsky Park. It’s only there that the residents of Perovo can save themselves, many of whom are blissfully unaware of real threats its proximity to the most dangerous enterprises in Moscow. Novogireevo is located more successfully: next to it is the Kuskovsky forest park, from which the southwest wind carries fresh air.
The contingent of the districts is corresponding: working class. And their appearance reflects the aura of its main inhabitants. There are many uncomfortable five-story buildings and two-story barracks here, the schools are not outstanding, and on the contrary, the shops correspond to the proletarian spirit of the area. It can be unsafe on the streets in the evening; meetings with inappropriate groups of young people can end unpredictably.
In a word, there are plenty of challenges and threats in Perovo and Novogireevo. However, people live here, but at the same time many of them dream of moving somewhere to the southwest, sometimes this “simplicity” of the surrounding reality gets so much... as in the ditty that circulated in Perov’s kitchens back in the 70s:
I don’t know about you, but here in Perovo
Somehow everything is going wrong, somehow everything is bad...
The infrastructure of the districts is well developed even not for sleeping bags: in sufficient quantity kindergartens and schools, large retail grocery chains. There are 2 universities in Perovo, the district is served by 5 clinics, 2 hospitals, 3 recreation centers and even a regional youth palace. Each district has two metro stations.
For motorists, the situation is more complicated: the only connection with the world is the Enthusiasts Highway, which is very congested. As a result, the average resident of Perovo or Novogireevo, working outside their area, spends about 3 hours of precious time on the road (more precisely, stuck in traffic jams on Entuzik) every day. And this amounts to neither more nor less – 30 days a year...
Veshnyaki. Palace and Park District
This residential area, shaped like an equilateral triangle, occupies the southernmost part of the Eastern Administrative District, if you do not take into account Kosino-Ukhtomsky, which falls outside the Moscow Ring Road. The main pride of the Veshnyaks is the Kuskovsky forest park, one of the favorite vacation spots of many Muscovites, and the estate of the Sheremetev count family, Kuskovo, located in it.
The dense residential development is diluted with another park - Raduga, with a cascade of ponds, many sports fields and a stadium. Veshnyaki is completely devoid of industrial enterprises, which positively distinguishes the area from its industrial neighbors, Perovo and Novogireevo.
A park of impressive size also exists at the Moscow Humanitarian University. True, for some unknown reason, it turned out to be fenced off from ordinary residents by a university fence. This office, I must say, is quite “murky”: behind the fence, in addition to educational process, strange things happen for uninitiated citizens. The bungalow complexes built by the Danes for a joint venture in the 90s are either rented out or used for housing by the Moscow State University elite, and at the warehouse terminals in the depths of the park, suspicious cars with foreign license plates were once parked.
Among the major infrastructure facilities of Veshnyakov, in addition to the mentioned university, the former Higher Komsomol School (higher Komsomol school), is the city clinical hospital No. 15 named after. Filatova, the largest multidisciplinary medical center in Moscow, the clinical base of two medical institutes and four research institutes.
On the southernmost edge of the district there are exits to the Vykhino metro station, and in the north Veshnyakovskaya Street, turning into Svobodny Prospekt in the Novogireevo area, leads to the nearby Novogireevo metro station. But motorists are in a stalemate: the direct path to the center is densely blocked by the Kazansky and Gorky directions. You have to make your way to Ryazansky Prospekt along Yunosti Street, or even through the exit to the Moscow Ring Road. But there are simply no lower prices for apartments in Moscow: one-room – 3.6 million, two-room – 4.3 million, three-room – 5.6 million.
Kosino-Ukhtomsky. Lake District
A very controversial area, located outside the Moscow Ring Road and extending 6 km to the east of the Moscow region. On the one hand, it contains inimitable and unique lakes of glacial origin: Beloe, Chernoe and Svyatoe, which make up the Kosinsky triozerye.
On the other hand, there is a waste incineration plant dangerously close to the residential area of Kozhukhovo, and just outside the area there is a city landfill. And according to unverified data, somewhere in the area of the Rudnevo microdistrict there is a radioactive waste burial site.
Kosino-Ukhtomsky consists of three residential areas: the Kosino microdistrict, or old Kosino, the Ukhtomsky village and the Kozhukhovo district. Kosino is the Kosinsky triozerye, Khrushchev-era buildings and private houses on the outskirts of the microdistrict. The definition of “old” best characterizes the condition of this microdistrict. But the village of Ukhtomsky, located to the south, favorably sets off its neighbor, since it is represented exclusively by the private sector, which lacks such minimal conditions of civilization as sewerage and central water supply.
Against this background, the young district of Kozhukhovo is simply the pinnacle of urban planning thought, and is a spacious area quite suitable for habitation, represented by a variety of multi-storey buildings of modern series of the 2004-2007 model. The main real estate offers are also localized here; 99% are primary housing in new buildings. 4, 5 and 7 million - this is the lower threshold for the purchase of 1-, 2- and 3-room apartments.
Novokosino district. Concrete jungle on the edge of the capital
A classic residential area located outside the Moscow Ring Road. Complete absence industrial facilities and the densest residential development throughout Moscow: on an area of 3.5 sq. 104 thousand people live in km. Probably the herring in a barrel feels freer. This also affects the lack parking spaces, and in traffic jams on Nosovikhinskoye Highway, connecting the area with " big city" The good news is that there is practically nowhere else to build in Novokosino, and existing system development has stabilized.
The area has a satisfactory social infrastructure: 16 kindergartens, 11 schools, 2 sports and recreation complexes and a bowling club. Apartments on the ground floors of many buildings have been converted into non-residential buildings, and all kinds of shops, hairdressers and other necessary and not so necessary retail outlets are located there. The summer of 2012 brought residents of the area a long-awaited holiday that they had been waiting for for 4 years: right at the beginning of the new school year, the President of Russia inaugurated the Novokosino metro station.
There is a complete absence of dilapidated housing in Novokosino, but many modern high-rise buildings have already celebrated their 20th anniversary. For modern houses, this turns out to be a venerable age: many facades have already cracked. The cost of housing is standard for a remote bedroom: 4.5 million for a one-room apartment, 6 million for a two-room apartment and 8 million for a three-room apartment. Rent is also predictably budget-friendly: 20-25 thousand for a one-room apartment, 28-30 thousand for a two-room apartment.
District East. Water supply village
Another castle district of the Eastern District. In addition to the village of Vostochny itself, it includes the village. Akulovo, located 20 km from it on the shore of the Uchinskoye reservoir. They are united by one common idea - the largest Eastern water treatment station in Moscow with the Akulovsky water intake.
The area is a prime example of a workers' village. The houses are mostly 2-4-storey, with a population that has been established over the years, the number of which changes little over the years, amounting to 12 thousand people. And multi-storey modern houses they are located next door, but already in the region: in the Shchitnikovo microdistrict of the Balashikha district. Apartments cost from 3.5 million for three rubles, from 4 million for two-room apartments, from 5.5 million for three rubles.
The area's infrastructure is minimal, but capable of meeting the basic needs of residents. Communication with the city is the ever-stopping Shchelkovskoye Highway, the nearest metro station is 5 km away due to traffic jams, however, there are passing buses in the city is coming many.
Infrastructure of the Eastern District: what more could you want?
The Eastern District, despite its impressive size and diverse areas, has an almost homogeneous social infrastructure. It must be said that its convenience arouses the envy of many more pretentious neighbors of this far from the most prestigious district.
Roads and transport. A well-developed road network with clear neighborhoods. The advantage of HLW is its high density road network on the periphery, something that no other metropolitan district can boast of. But the highway system brings nothing but constant headaches due to eternal traffic jams. Both Shchelkovskoye and Entuziastov Highway run along dense residential buildings and experience increased load, plus traffic from Reutov, Balashikha, Noginsk and Shchelkovo near Moscow.
The Enthusiasts Highway, which is already not wide, also contains tram tracks, which increase traffic jams and accidents. And Shchelkovskoye, from an eight-lane one, narrows by half after the Moscow Ring Road, which results in constant traffic jams on the way out of Moscow. In addition to the main highways, Nosovikhinskoe Highway, Bolshaya Semenovskaya, and Svobodny Prospekt are especially congested.
Schools and kindergartens. The provision of primary educational institutions in the Eastern Administrative District is at a high level. Almost all districts have more than 11 schools, and such a phenomenon as queues for kindergartens is present only in Northern and Eastern Izmailovo, Sokolinaya Gora and Kosino-Ukhtomskoye.
Hospitals and clinics. If the Eastern District cannot be called a metropolitan health resort, then there is certainly no shortage of health care institutions here. Starting from clinics, the number of which in the Top 20 of the entire capital includes Sokolniki, Metrogorodok, Vostochnoye Izmailovo, Sokolinaya Gora and Preobrazhenskoye. And ending with hospitals, among which is the famous Clinical Hospital named after. Filatov, Research Institute of Eye Diseases named after. Helmholtz, the multidisciplinary Endosurgery Center and many other excellent clinics, whose medical staff are highly valued throughout Moscow.
Stadiums. There is plenty of room for fans of football and other sports battles: the Eastern Administrative District contains more than 50 stadiums, including the most modern in Moscow, Lokomotiv, and the equally famous Wings of the Soviets, Avangard, Luch, and Olympus. The district's famous sports facilities are also the Olympic Aquatics Center, the Sokolniki Sports Palace and the Znamensky Brothers Athletics Center.
Shops and shopping centers. There is also no shortage in this category. The main feature is its focus on the economy segment of the consumer market. There are many shopping centers scattered around the district with low prices and a varied product line, as well as chain retail outlets in abundance: “The Seventh Continent”, “Pyaterochka”, “Kopeyka”, “Avoska”, etc. Specialized retail establishments of a capital scale can be called a shopping mall the Globus-Extreme center (everything for sports), the Hobby City shopping center (nothing but entertainment) and the Budenovsky shopping center (computers and components).
Metro. The provision of Moscow metro stations is the trump card of the Eastern District. Only the suburban districts, and then 2 out of 3, do not have their own stations. Largely due to this, the Eastern Administrative District is a fairly “lived-in” district, coupled with low real estate prices.
Economy of the district: factories “rule”
The various industrial enterprises of the Eastern District not only smoke the local air, but also provide the population with many jobs. The weighted average salary at large enterprises in the district is 30,000 rubles, in the research sector - 38,000 rubles. 12 of the 16 districts of the district contain large and medium-sized industrial enterprises, the total number of which is more than 90.
Sokolniki. The mill plant in Sokolniki is the only producer of rye flour in Moscow and Moscow Region, which also has 30% of wheat flour production in the region. There are many open vacancies for technical specialists with an average salary of 35 thousand. SVARZ Plant - Sokolniki Carriage Repair and Construction Plant - major repairs of city vehicles (mostly Ikarus are patched here). Low salaries in exchange for a full benefits package.
Falcon Mountain. FSUE "Salyut" - production of turbine aircraft engines. There are two advantages: a full social package and ease of getting a job. At the same time: meager salaries (20 thousand) and lack of career prospects. An ideal option for students to work part-time, since given the existing labor discipline and workload at the plant, they won’t have to work too hard. MMZ "Vympel" is a defense engineering plant that produces missile launch complexes. As part of the conversion - equipment for X-ray rooms. regime object, low salaries Apart from the experience, there are no special advantages from the job. CJSC "Krasnaya Zarya" - production of knitted underwear, a brand known throughout the country. Traditionally, technologists and designers are required. The workload is high, but specialists earn decent money.
Preobrazhenskoe. OJSC "Cherkizovo" - bakery No. 8, the largest in Moscow and Moscow Region. Next door is the State Research Institute of Bakery Industry with its own bakery. Salary is 25-30 thousand, there are few vacancies, but there are opportunities. JSC MELZ - Moscow Electric Tube Plant (or simply "light bulb") - at one time the country's largest manufacturer of vacuum electronics, and today - a modest design bureau producing LED lamps and light signs for buildings and streets.
Bogorodskoe. The Alfaplastic association produces medical products made of plastic and rubber. The plant has maintained a trade union and pays a small but reasonable salary. One of the few remaining production facilities in Bogorodskoye, which is preparing to move to Orel. Moscow plant "Micromachina". Rare production of electric shavers, kettles and other household electrical appliances under the MIKMA brand. The plant is afloat and offers interesting work for workers of various qualifications and engineers.
Golyanovo. OJSC Santekhprom, a unique and only production of central heating radiators in Moscow. A large enterprise, there is a trade union, age is not important when hiring (you can get a job at 45 or 50, if you have work experience). The MEL plant produces elevators that are familiar throughout the country. A large enterprise, its workshops occupy almost 4 hectares. In addition to production facilities, the plant has its own sports and fitness complex with a swimming pool and greenhouses. Salaries from 20 to 60 thousand rubles.
Perovo. CJSC Moscow Projector Plant produces diesel generator sets. There are always a lot of vacancies here, and this worries many. The real salary also differs to a lesser extent from the declared one. But you can get experience at a factory, especially work experience.
Listing all, even the largest, enterprises of the Eastern Administrative District would exceed the volume of this entire article, but the conclusion is simple: the main industrial base of the Eastern District is a legacy of industrialization former USSR. And those factories that escaped raider takeover and did not turn into commercial offices and warehouses are still able to employ a significant part of the workforce and engineering personnel of different ages, as long as they are ready to work. And then we come across such shots lately... As Socrates said, “our youth is poorly educated.”
Crime of the Eastern Administrative District: streets of broken lamps
As noted above, the main characteristic feature of the criminal situation in the Eastern District is increased level street crime, especially in the Golyanovo and Izmailovo areas. In addition to the working population inherent in the entire district, the high population and migrant workers, the Shchelkovsky bus station and the legacy of the former Cherkizovsky market play a role in these areas.
However, there have been no high-profile criminal cases in the Eastern District over the past decades. From time to time, some officials and security forces are caught engaging in corrupt practices, but the cases that have become public are the tip of the iceberg. It is not without reason that the dream of most modern schoolchildren today is to become an official, which serves as the best indicator of the places where they can get rich the easiest. Just 20 years ago everyone wanted to be bankers or bandits.
One of the latest scandals is an attempt to receive a bribe by the now former assistant prosecutor of the Eastern District in July 2011. The prosecutor who lost his vigilance lost “only” 1.2 million rubles, and now his case is being considered in court.
In 2004-2006, the Eastern District became famous for the largest cases of fraud in the capital in the field of shared-equity construction. Either people in the Eastern Administrative District were more gullible, or the construction boom and housing prices in the district created favorable conditions for scammers, only more than 20 “construction” companies methodically confiscated honestly earned millions from unsuspecting “shareholders.” It should be noted that the Prefecture of the Eastern Administrative District committed an act of compassion, providing assistance to most of the defrauded shareholders and preventing many human tragedies.
District attractions: parks are our everything
The Eastern District is rightfully proud of the history of Peter the Great’s times, which is reflected not only in geographical names, but also in the architectural and park ensembles of the ancient estates of Kuskovo and Izmailovo. The Izmailovo estate is located on an island formed by the Serebryano-Vinogradny pond. In Soviet times there was a workers' town named after. Bauman, and the ancient buildings of the 17th century were given over to a police station and a sobering-up station. After such proximity, the surviving buildings of the estate require deep restoration, which, unfortunately, has been quite protracted to this day.
The Kuskovo Estate Museum, unlike Izmailovskaya, is a permanent place of pilgrimage for tourists and ordinary townspeople. The Sheremetev family estate is a fascinating sight and has powerful positive energy. Ponds, gardens and parks, Dutch and Italian houses, marble statues and unique facades make staying in Kuskovo like a deep meditation.
The calling card of the Eastern District are its numerous parks, offering not only clean air, but also a lot of entertainment. The only real forest within Moscow is Losiny Ostrov National Park. For extreme sports enthusiasts, there is no point in leaving the city limits: you can easily meet moose in their natural habitat, get into a swamp or get lost in this huge forest park.
More civilized, but just as large-scale, are the Sokolniki and Izmailovsky parks. These are ideal places for walking, sports and cultural entertainment, united under the promising name “Park of Culture and Recreation”. In Izmailovo, guests will find a boat station, 2 Ferris wheels and many other attractions. Sokolniki is famous for its sports orientation and is able to please the most demanding lovers of active recreation.
Next to Izmailovsky Park is the Terletsky Forest Park with picturesque ponds and an oak grove, many of whose trees are over 300 years old. In a word, you will find parks everywhere in the Eastern District: Kuskovsky Forest Park, Perovsky Park, Children's Cherkizovsky Park, Kosinsky Natural Historical Park - the glory and pride of the district.
Despite the sufficient distance from the center, cultural life can also be found in the Eastern District. In Sokolniki there is the author's theater of Roman Viktyuk, located in a building that resembles a gear, corresponding to his work.
The four halls of the renovated theater and concert hall “Palace on the Yauza” also actively participate in the cultural life of the city. But still, its past is more interesting than its present: the film “Carnival Night”, the first TV shows “KVN” and “Come on, Girls” were filmed here, and in the 80s rock underground concerts were often held.
