According to the legend, when Russian Empress Anna Ioannovna arrived at her new palace near Yauza River for the first time, she was upset with the view from her window of an empty field instead of a forest. The next morning she woke up and found a new forest in the same place. Her minion Ernst von Biron ordered the removal a lot of pine and fir trees from Sokolniki and replant them at the new location. Thousands of serfs and soldiers were involved into this operation. The forest became known as Annenhof grove, but Moscow people did not like it, probably because of the way it had appeared. According to Moscow journalist and local historian Vladimir Gilyarovskiy, the grove accommodated robbers and bandits and was used for waste disposal. In 1904, the grove was destroyed by the famous Moscow tornado. In the 1930s a part of the territory was reserved for the campus of the newly established Moscow Power Engineerin Institute. One of its most interesting objects is building E with a round tower called “the Bastille” by the locals. Inside the tower there is a spiral ramp from the first level to the last. Another technical attraction is a paternoster lift, a constantly looping elevator with open compartments. It is still operational but is usually shut down for safety reasons. Sometimes the old grove makes her presence felt. For instance, in 1971 a group of moose came here from Losiny Ostrov and were browsing for two days until being captured and returned to the park. // Moose near the main building of MPEI in 1971
