Several months after “Bloody Sunday” in January 1905 Emperor Nicholas II had issued the Religious Tolerance Act. This document declared rights of all religions and denominations. Several statements specifically treated Old Believers. They were granted equal rights with other heterodox churches and equal opportunities to build houses of worship. The temple in Tokmakov Pereulok was the first one built by Pomor Old Believers after the enactment. Its architecture resembles ancient Pskov churches. That is why it was quite unusual in Moscow. The construction cost 150.000 rubles that was mostly covered by manufacturer and Old Believer Savva Morozov. The temple was closed in 1930 but the Pomor community received Nikolskiy temple on Preobrazhenskoe cemetery instead. (During Soviet times the Old Believers suffered less persecution than the Orthodoxes, probably because the Old Believers had also been in opposition to tsarism, and Savva Morozov had financed RSDLP). Afterwards the original temple was used as a children’s theatre, a library, a sewing room and a stamp factory. In 1988 the temple was returned to the Pomor church and the restoration continues.

The exact place where Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was born was unknown for a long time. As early as in 1821 literary critic Nikolay Grech wrote in a textbook of contemporary literature that young poet Pushkin had been born in Saint Petersburg. Pushkin himself told that he had been born on Bolshaya Molchanovka Street near Arbat. He remembered that house from his childhood, but in fact the Pushkins had moved twelve times between 1798 and 1812. Many years later, in 1879 a seminary student found a record in Bogoyavlenskiy (Elokhovskiy) cathedral parish register. The record told that Major Sergiy Lvovich Pushkin living at collegiate registrar Ivan Skvortsov’s house had a son Alexander born to him. But where did Ivan Skvortsov live in 1799? Local historians solved this task (at least they thought so) and mounted a memorial plaque on Countess Ekaterina Golovkina’s mansion on Baumanskaya Ulitsa (now house 53, bldg. 4). But they were wrong: Skvortsov had managed this house but had not lived there. In 1927 the mistake was corrected and the plaque was remounted on house 42 on the same street. The house was demolished and the new plaque was mounted on the school constructed at the same place. But this was also the wrong place. Skvortsov bought that house after Pushkin’s birth. Only in 1980 the true place was found. The lot was situated on the corner of Khapilovskaya Ulitsa (nowadays Malaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa) and Gospitalny Pereulok. There were two houses one of which the Pushkins rented. The closest existing building is Malaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa 4. Nevertheless the plaque still hangs near the school entrance. // Golovkina's mansion in 1880. To the right of “ПАРИКМАХЕРЪ” shop­sign you may find the first memorial plaque

Bauman Technical University is the oldest and the largest technical university in Russia and the second oldest higher education institution in Moscow. In 1826 the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna ordered the establishment of “great workshops for different crafts” for orphaned boys. To host these workshops, architect Domenico Gilardi restored the Slobodskoy Palace in the German Quarter that had burnt down during Napoleon invasion. The teaching process started in 1830 after approval of “Statute of the Moscow Craft School” by Emperor Nicholas I. The growing industry was in need of engineers, technologists and skilled workers, so the school began to expand. In 1867 it was headed by Victor Della-Vos and a year later MCS was reorganized into the Imperial Moscow Technical School. Della-Vos introduced his own educational method that combined both deep theoretical studies and systematic practical training. After the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876 this method came to notice in the West and was called “The Russian method”. It was adopted by John D. Runkle at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among other American technical universities. In October 1905, Nikolay Bauman, a professional revolutionary of the Bolshevik Party, was beaten to death during a demonstration near IMTS. Bauman layed in state at IMTS for two days. In 1918 the school was renamed the Moscow Higher Technical School. Afterwards it was named after Bauman (as well as two streets, a metro station, a public garden and other objects in the vicinity). During the course of Stalin’s industrialization the school was reorganized again; several departments became separate institutions such as the Moscow Aviation Institute, the Moscow Power Engineering Institute etc. From 1948 to 1960 the new Main Building was constructed near the old palace. In 1966 (by other sources, in 1972), the construction of another new Educational and Laboratory building was started, but the process was very slow. In 1984 it was suspended due to financial problems. Only in 2001 the work resumed, and in 2004 the new building was opened. A monument to MHTS graduate Sergei Korolev was erected near the new building. // Construction of Educational and Laboratory building in 1989

So called the “Budyonnovskiy Poselok” (Budyonny township) is formed by a score of apartment buildings with a single address “Bolshaya Pochtovaya Ulitsa 18/20”. It was designed and built in 1927-29 by a group of architects under the leadership of Mikhail Motylyov. The flats were intended for Red Army officers; this explains why the township is called after Soviet military commander Semyon Budyonny. The rectangular district consists of S-­and L-shaped buildings. The unique but only partially realized feature of the project was an arc-shaped passage separating two parts of the district (see the rendering). This passage should have given an opportunity to perceive buildings “in motion” while moving along it. Beyond that, some parts of the facades were painted in red, forming a three­dimensional suprematic composition. Some of these painted surfaces still exist. Nowadays the living conditions are rather poor: there are no elevators, in some flats even bath­tubs are absent, and around 40% of apartments are multifamily. The local prefecture asserts that the township should be demolished and that a new construction should start afterwards. The city development committee has declined the request for demolition, but the prospects are still clouded. Of course, the better option would be to renovate the buildings similarly to some other constructivist townships. // The original project by Mikhail Motylyov

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

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
