Историческая справка
The house No 4 Bld 1 in Petroverigsky Lane for a few years accommodated the Museum of Military Uniform which has now moved to a mansion in Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street.
But we would like to tell you about another local attraction.
A high-rise constructivist style building at Petroverigsky Lane 6-8-10 was built by the architect Grigory Dankman in 1929-31. It is a great monument to the 1920s architecture featuring a full variety of its expressive elements, including concise gracefulness of semicircles and rectangles, vertical glass walls, monumental strips of balconies and loggias, round windows, columns and thin canopies. Three stretched sections comprising the building are divided by the projecting semicircles of its stairwell towers. Because of the Ivanovskaya hill curvature, the building has a different number of storeys - from three to eight - while the roof level is the same everywhere. The choice of location was not accidental: the 1925 city master plan envisioned the Moscow Small Halfring Road, a relief road for the Boulevard Ring, running along the long façade of the building. The side closest to the street features a vertically aligned cafeteria wing with a semicircular projection which was once supported by columns. The design allowed students coming in from Maroseika Street to make a stop at the cafeteria before entering the dorm. Now this part of the building belongs to a medical centre.
The dormitory was built to accommodate students of the Communist University of the National Minorities of the West, established by Lenin in 1922. The institute trained ethnic students from the western parts of the USSR, including Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Jewish, German, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Moldovan and others, for various government positions. After the university was shut down in 1936, the dormitory went to the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages, later renamed as the Moscow State Linguistic University. Its students still occupy the central part of the building.
Now burned and ruined, the deserted section of the building has accommodated the university medical clinic. Despite its listed status, it remains abandoned for over a decade.
