Krasnaya Presnya recreation and entertainment park is situated on the territory of Studenets estate. In the 18th century, when the estate belonged to princes Gagarins, this location was used to create a garden with artificial “Dutch-styled” canal-ponds. After the estate changed several owners, in the 1820-30’s, thanks to Governor-General Zakrevskiy the territory got a beautiful house designed by Domenico Gillardi and monuments to heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 by V. Stasov (now only a Tuscan column remains here, but it has been moved to a quiet remote corner of the park). In 1834, when the place was given to the state and later made part of the charitable institutions of Empress Mariya Fyodorovna, the Gardeners and Farmers Society opened a school "for educating the gardeners" here. This was the time when lots of visitors gathered in Studenets to enjoy performances and various park amusements. The historian S. Lyubetskiy mentioned a mysterious tent he had seen here, with a signboard saying "An invisible woman is shown here!” Krasnaya Presnya recreation and entertainment park itself was opened in 1932. The entrance gates built in the 1930’s were restored in 1998 by the architects A. Koroleva and N. Zhurina on the basis of an archive photo. Studenets estate was known as the “Russian Venice in the gardens” for the beauty of the Dutch park and the canal system. The curved canals still follow the park alleys and, together with graceful bridges, create picturesque landscapes. -

A pedestrian and trading bridge over the Moscow river is a part of the unified architectural ensemble of Moscow City. The bridge was named after the prince Pyotr Bagration, a commander in the Patriotic War of 1812, who died of a wound he got on Borodinskoye field. The bridge was opened in September 1997 to celebrate Moscow’s 850th anniversary. The bridge consists of two levels: the lower is a glass indoor gallery, the upper has an observation deck with a picturesque view on the river, skyscrapers and the city’s centre. A remarkable sight on the bridge is a sculpture “The Tree of Life” made by Ernst Neizvestniy. As the author confessed, this sculpture is the most important of his creative works. Under the giant tree branches made of bronze and granite we see portraits of hundreds of most important historical personalities, from Adam and Eve to Yuriy Gagarin. - 741 Shmitovskiy proyezd, d. 23, str. 5

Историческая справка
At the age of 21 Nikolay Shmit inherited the best furniture factory of Russia (among other things, the factory produced the throne of Tsar Nicholas II). Shmit was born to a rich family of Old Believers and was a relative of Savva Morozov. As a social group with violated rights, the Old Believers had reasons to dislike the tsarist regime. Many of them supported Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party and other opposition forces. Obviously those reasons defined Shmit’s political preferences, and he showed himself as a dedicated socialist. In the autumn of 1905 Shmit turned the factory into a real epicentre of revolutionary struggle by giving to workers 20,000 rubles for procuring weapons. Soon Shmit’s fully armed squads took an active part in the December riot. However, the riot was suppressed, and Shmit was imprisoned. In 1907 he was found dead — he either had committed suicide because of despair, or had been murdered. The Bolsheviks blamed gendarmes for his death, but now and then modern historians point at Bolsheviks themselves, who contracted marriages of convenience with Shmit’s sisters and got the young factory owner’s huge inheritance. - 771 Riddle

(Fragments of the text written by the Russian writer Venedikt Erofeev after Iosif Brodskiy won the Nobel Prize). “About Brodskiy. The Nobel Committee makes a mistake only once a year, as my friend said sarcastically once. I won’t write about Brodsky, it’s unnecessary. It’s more curious to find out what was said about Brodskiy at the end of October 1987 by the Moscow public, so familiar to me — from a nuclear physicist to a church watchman. I’ll be as brief as I can”. ...V. M., a translator, a far-right Catholic, “I’m not speaking about the positive side of the poem itself, it’s pretty obvious. But it has that feature which was earlier called “sanity in front of the higher authorities”. M., a far-left Orthodox Christian, "It is not that big a trouble, awarding a prize. Gone are the times when we were scared of tricks and catches of the Nobel Committee”. R., a professor of the First Medical Institute, “So, as I see, in Stockholm they follow a principle: everything is good what’s bad for the USSR”. B.S., a litterateur, “One should write OK or write badly. To write perfectly, as Brodskiy does, is ugly and sinful. And it offends the nation which stayed — against all odds — at home”. N.S., an art expert, “The main problem is not that he is a White émigré. The thing is that he has some immateriality. Despite his good qualities, he is deprived of something... something... which makes him fully deprived of that concrete something which he is deprived of(!!)”. ...I won’t go on in order not to tire you. I also won’t quote approving opinions for their overwhelming exclamations and also because I completely support them. Howbeit, the life of a literate Russian — I certainly know it — would be much colder and more deserted if poetry of Iosif Brodskiy for some reason didn’t exist. The following opinions have been reduced by myself and brought to a level of literary clarity.

Историческая справка
The first location for celestial observatory in Moscow, a wooden structure on the roof of the university in Mokhovaya street, burned down in the fire in 1812. In 1830-31 a fully equipped observatory was built on the territory of the merchant Zoy Zosima’s estate (the merchant granted this territory to the university). The construction was initiated by the astronomy professor Dmitriy Perevoshchikov, who later became the rector of the university and also the director of the observatory for 20 years. The observatory was twice rebuilt — in 1854 and 1900. The tower got a rotating dome with a modern 15-inch astrographic telescope that still works. The Presnya observatory raised a pleiad of remarkable astronomers, three of them (Fyodor Bredikhin, Aristarkh Belopolskiy, and Aleksandr Mikhaylov) at different times headed the Pulkovo observatory, once the world’s largest one. In 1920 the observatory took the name of Pavel Shternberg, Bredikhin’s student, a Doctor of Astronomy, Honoured Professor of the university and a member of Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party. He helped with storing weapons left from the Presnya riots of 1905, and was one of leaders of the Moscow rebellion of 1917. Shternberg State University of Astronomy was created on an observatory basis on 1937, and later moved to a new building in Leninskie Gory. Since 1979 the observatory has held the status of an architectural monument and houses the Museum of History of Astronomy of Moscow State University. The last scientific observations here were made in 1990.

Историческая справка
Timiryazev Moscow Biological State Museum was created in 1922 by the biologist Boris Zavadovskiy (a disciple of the biologist K. Timiryazev, the geneticist N. Koltsov and the physiologist I. Pavlov). The original collection of anatomical and biological preparations first occupied two halls of the University on Miusskaya Ploshchad. After the museum’s opening in May 1922 Zavadovskiy decided to draw it into city’s organic structure and turned the garden on Miusskaya Ploshchad into an exhibition of unique plants — the results of genetical research and artificial selection. Since then this garden has helped to spread biological knowledge and also has served as an example of a new practice: of gardening in districts which lacked greenery. In 1934, after the request of Maksim Gorkiy, Timiryazev Museum moved to a new building in Malaya Gruzinskaya Ulitsa, the complex built in Pseudo-Russian style — the estate of Pyotr Shchukin, a remarkable Russian collector of the 19th century, a merchant and a philanthropist. A few years later a greenhouse was built on its territory. The museum exposition certainly relates not only to greenery, but to Zavadovskiy's bravest investigations in unexplored areas of biology. An hot topic of the 1920’s — the hormones — was a subject of his scientific curiosity. Having studied the influence of hormones he found a way to change sexual characteristics of experimental hens and roosters, studied fertility of farm animals and developed methods of early diagnostics of pregnancy and identifying sex of a fetus (the future express-tests!), studied the question of environmental influence on an organism and the inheritance of acquired characteristics.

Alphabetic languages form the groups depending on letters which are used in such languages. The most well-known groups are Cyrillic (which includes the Russian language), Latin (which includes the English language), and also the Arabic script (in which the Koran is written) and the Hebrew alphabet (in which Moses’ Pentateuch, or the five books of the Old Testament, are written). The text written in the Cyrillic or Latin scripts are read from left to right, in the Arabic and the Hebrew scripts — from right to left, and in the scripts of numerous languages of Eastern Asia we meet both horizontal and vertical texts. There is an opinion that, for example, Hebrew is written and read from right to left because the first texts in Hebrew were embossed on stone. When embossing with a chisel and a hammer, it is much more comfortable to hold a hammer in the right hand and direct the stroke from right to left. -

Lev Tolstoy dedicated many pages of his novel “War and Peace” to Moscow, its life and the customs of its citizens starting from the nobility and ending with the lower classes — workers, tradesmen and others. He wrote about the fire and liberation of Moscow in 1812, he described certain streets and homes with loving accuracy. For example, the house in Povarskaya ul., 52 — a spacious building with widely spread side wings, according to the descriptions in the novel, became a prototype of the Rostovs’ Mansion. Nearby, also in Povarskaya ulitsa, there was a place where P. Bezukhov saved a small girl and protected an Armenian girl from French marauders. - 724 Pervy Tverskoy-Yamskoy pereulok, d. 11

The Narkomfin (People’s Commissariat of Finance) building is a renowned monument of avant-garde architecture, a building designed for a new — communal — type of living and according to the new theories of Soviet urban planning. Its construction was started in 1928 and lasted for 2 years. The architects were Moisey Ginsburg and Ignatiy Milinis. The main building consists of various residential units, many of which have two levels. The main building is connected by the overground passage with the public block (a cube with a big glass window on one side), which was designed to house a canteen and a library. Apart from the unevenly organised space, the colours for flats were chosen under the guidance of Bauhaus specialists. It is now proven that this building and some other Soviet architectural ideas had influence on the famous Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier. It may certainly be noticed in his apartment building “Immeuble Clarté” in Geneva, or the “Unité d'Habitation” (The Dwelling Unit) in Marseille. - 718 Novinskiy Bulvar, d. 25-27, str. 10

Vladimir Ivanovich Dal was a Russian scientist, a writer, who compiled Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian language. He spent his final years in Presnya, a very picturesque place in those days, close to Presnenskiy ponds. The Collection of Russian Proverbs (1861-1862) and his magnum opus, the 4 volumes of The Dictionary of Living Great Russian Language (1863-1866), were published during this period. The dictionaries take the main place in the exposition of Dal Museum, there is also a map of his journeys, fragments of a unique card-file with every word (when compiling the dictionary, Dal was constantly amending his own work). There is a complete set of his works, articles on education and reforms, from which we discover that Dal also as a statesman, a writer and a geographer. Dal Museum is supported by The Society of the Russian Language Arts. In the 19th century it helped the Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian language see the world. There were plenty of collectors and lexicographers, but it was Dal who united the literary and the folk languages. - 734 Konyushkovskaya ulitsa, Gorbatiy Bridge

Историческая справка
В 1799 году купец Василий Прохоров основал в Москве ситценабивную мануфактуру, которую назвали Трехгорной по названию местности. После Отечественной войны Василий Прохоров передал мануфактуру своему сыну Тимофею.
Тимофей Прохоров, взявшись за дела, обнаружил, что большинство рабочих фабрики были неграмотны, а, между тем, производство требовало уже грамотных работников. Это привело к тому, что в 1816 году Прохоров открыл первую в России фабричную ремесленную школу. Все расходы на её содержание он взял на себя. В этой школе обучалось около 30 мальчиков — дети рабочих мануфактуры и жителей Москвы. В 1830 году, после эпидемии холеры в Москве, Прохоров, желая облегчить участь сирот, принял в эту школу 100 детей-сирот. Он сам лично ежедневно проверял процесс обучения в училище. Воодушевлённый успехами школы, Тимофей Прохоров затеял создание технологического училища, но эта затея не нашла отклика в обществе, и тогда он открыл фабрику-школу. Учеников в этой школе учили письму, чтению, арифметике и необходимым ремесленным искусствам. Наиболее усердным ученикам выплачивалось жалование приказчика. Желавшим получить высшее образование нанимались учителя. Многие из тех, кто прошёл обучение в этой школе, впоследствии сами стали фабрикантами и коммерсантами.
