Историческая справка
At the beginning of 18th century Fyodor Golovin, Russian foreign minister and one of the closest associates of Peter I, owned an estate and a park on the left bank of Yauza River. Peter I frequently visited Golovin and purchased the estate and the surroundings after his death. Empress Anna Ioannovna especially liked the site and ordered the replacement of the original estate with two wooden baroque palaces. The site was now called “Annenhof”. In 1746 it was abandoned after a fire. Catherine the Great considered both palaces as old-fashioned and ordered to demolish them instead of restoration. In 1773, the construction of a new grand palace began, employing architects Karl Blank, Giacomo Quarenghi and Francesco Camporesi. It lasted for more than twenty years and was finished in 1796, the year of Catherine’s death. Emperor Paul disliked all his mother’s palaces and converted this one into barracks. In 1812 the Palace was ruined by French invaders, then in 1820s it was restored and hosted the Moscow Cadet Corps. A large piece of land in front of the palace became a the cadets’ parade ground. In Soviet times the Palace was occupied by the Malinovsky Military Armored Forces Academy. Now it is a branch of the Combined Arms Academy. The parade ground became a park. Its northern part is still known as Kadetskiy Platz (Cadets’ Parade Ground) and the southern part is now called “Park Kazachei Slavy” (Cossacks Glory Park). The square between the parts is called Krasnokursantskaya Ploshchad // Second Cadet Corps and the parade ground
