Traveling in a time machine through an unusual taganka. An interesting route around the Taganskaya station
The monasteries, the Krutitsy Compound and many other sights have inscribed it into the cultural and historical landscape of the city, giving Moscow a special flavor. The Tagansky district has preserved in its architecture all periods of development and growth of the capital - from craft settlements to industrial buildings. In 1973, the area within the Garden Ring was included in the nine protected areas of old Moscow.
It is noteworthy that the main radial streets of Zayauzya, which arose in the 15th-16th centuries, and the network of Zayauzya lanes, which developed to XVII century, remained in the same place, which gives the events of centuries ago a modern sound.
The area got its name after the Taganskaya craft settlement, where taganniks lived and worked - masters in the manufacture of tagans - stands for boilers in the form of a tripod, which were intended for archers' campaigns. In the Soviet period, the area was called proletarian, and quite in ancient times, Zayauzie.
It was here that the oldest pre-Moscow settlements were discovered and the roads to Vladimir and Kolomna passed. In their place, in the 15th century, the main radial streets of Zayauzia arose: modern Nikoloyamskaya and Verkhnyaya Radishchevskaya. In 1272, under Prince Daniel of Moscow, Krutitsky Hill was given to the farmstead of the Sarsk diocese, where it arose. The troops of Dmitry Donskoy marched along the Bolvanovskaya (Verkhne-Radishchevskaya) road to the Kulikovo field. And after the victory, the Church of All Saints on Kulishki was built here in honor of the fallen soldiers.
With the growth and development of the main core of the city at the turn of the XIV-XV centuries. Zayauzye began to be actively populated. The approaches to the capital and in Zayauzye were covered with a ring of monasteries-fortresses: Krutitsy, Novospassky, and Androniev. Around the monasteries, supplying them with provisions and products, artisan settlements were formed: Boiler, Taganskaya, Pottery, Blacksmith, Koshelnaya, Serebryanichnaya and others. In the future, as the population grew, the city expanded beyond the line of outposts: Pokrovskaya (Abelmanovskaya), Spasskaya (Krestyanskaya outpost) Rogozhskaya (Ilyich Square).
In the 17th century, Taganskaya Square became the center of the entire Zayauzye. Here, near the walls of the Earthen City, at the Tagansky Gates, the famous Tagansky market was formed. Very soon, Taganka became the largest shopping center in Moscow. Having completely burned out in the fire of 1812, Taganka was quickly rebuilt and turned into stone. Architect of stone two-story malls became .
After the abolition of the Sloboda system by Peter, the social structure of Taganka began to change. Here, during the reign of Elizabeth, large-scale stone construction began. Noble estates were concentrated in the western part of Zayauzye, along Yauzskaya street. One of the surviving monuments of that time is the Batashov's estate, built in the style of classicism in 1798 on the former Nikolo-Bolvanovskaya (now Yauzskaya) according to the project.
The rest of the district was dominated by the houses of merchants and philistines. On the outskirts of Taganka, near the Rogozhsky cemetery, a settlement of schismatic merchants was formed, from which the founders of future merchant dynasties, the Morozovs and Shelaputins, emerged at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. The first factory appeared between Nikoloyamskaya Street and Yauza. In 1817, Ivan Khludov, the founder of another dynasty, moved to Moscow, to Shvivaya Gorka. His estate according to the project is located on one of the most high places Moscow. Since 1964, the Moscow City Medical and Sports Dispensary No. 1 has been located here.
By the end of the 19th century, the rapid industrialization of the area occurred due to the rapid growth of factories and plants. The Alekseev copper smelter appeared in the very center of Alekseevskaya Sloboda (Stanislavsky Street). On Vorontsovskaya Street there were A. I. Katyk's tobacco factory, the Hermans perfume factory, etc. In 1861, the Nizhny Novgorod railway station appeared behind the Rogozhskaya Sloboda, linking Taganka with the traditional textile regions east of Moscow, and with the southern provinces.
After the revolution, the first houses for workers were built on Taganka. The first residential building built after the revolution in Moscow appeared on Taganka. On October 14, 1923, the house of the Dynamo plant was solemnly populated.
The largest post-war construction of Taganka was a residential building on Kotelnicheskaya embankment - the so-called "high-rise". The right wing was built before the war, and the skyscraper itself was completed in 1952. The height of the central building is 32 meters. At the end of the 50s, not the construction, but the demolition of the Taganskaya prison became a notable event. At this place, at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s, the construction of Khrushchev houses began. The process of building typical housing continues to the present. Maybe that's why, despite rich history, the Tagansky district remains in the minds of Muscovites an industrial and working area.

(City Clinical Hospital No. 23 named after "Medsantrud")
Yauzskaya street, 11, Taganskaya metro station ring
Perhaps this is the most beautiful estate on Taganka.
This magnificent palace in 1798-1802 built for his son-in-law
General Shepelev, a very rich man - Ivan Rodionovich Batashev.
He owned mining and metallurgical plants in Nizhny Novgorod,
Tambov and Vladimir provinces.
The palace was built by the architect M.P. Kiselnikov according to the project of the architect
Rodion Kazakov.
Its unusually splendid decorative decoration has been preserved and
opens in all its splendor from the left, western side of the palace,
overlooking the courtyard and garden.
All buildings abound with sculptural moldings,
bas-reliefs with various scenes, exquisite vegetable
ornaments.
The splendor of the palace is emphasized by the luxurious front gates, with
unusual good-natured lions on pylons.
In 1812, during the invasion of the French, in the house of the Botashevs stood
Marshal Murat, so the fire that destroyed almost the entire city,
spared the estate.
But he did not save from plunder - after the expulsion of the French to
restoration of the palace, Ivan Rodionovich spent an impressive amount
about 300 thousand rubles.
From Shepelev, the palace passed to the princes Golitsyn, who had it
bought by the city in 1876 as a hospital for laborers.
The "Yauza branch of the hospital for unskilled workers" settled here.
After the revolution received strange name: named after "Medsantrud",
and became known as: City Clinical Hospital No. 23 named after
"Medsantrud".
A monument to the pathologist was erected on the territory of the hospital in 1974
I.V. Davydovsky (sculptor A.S. Allahverdyans, architect
A.G. Zakharov).
Terrible events in this architectural monument unfolded for a hundred years
after the French.
On October 21, 1999, another monument was erected in the courtyard of the hospital -
a stone with a list of those executed and secretly buried in 1921-1926.
in the courtyard of the hospital for victims of political repressions.
Here is an excerpt from the report at the IX Christmas Readings by L. Golovkova
"Moscow executions" (quoted from the second volume of the third
supplemented edition of "Forty Forties" by Pyotr Grigoryevich Palamarchuk
in the insert):
“... 969 people were secretly buried in the courtyard of the hospital
executed from 1921 to 1926 (isolated cases of burials
took place until the early 1930s).
The Yauza hospital became a departmental hospital of the GPU-OGPU in 1918.
It had its own guards, a reliable fence, a park, hidden courtyards.
But what made the Chekists bury the executed under the windows of their
hospitals, in the very center of Moscow, it is impossible to understand.
Of the 969 people, the Moscow Prosecutor's Office rehabilitated 103 people,
the rest are considered criminals, which, of course, is rather doubtful.
The execution orders were signed by G. Yagoda.
This was done then already by whole lists.
Composition of those shot and buried on the territory of the Yauza hospital
is fundamentally different from the composition of those shot in the 30-50s. - and by
origin, age and education.
Judging by the list of 103 people available to us, it was
the color of the nation, its hope, its future.
All these people are very young, mostly between 18 and 35 years old.
There are forty-year-olds, but there are only two people aged
50 and 76 years old.
For the most part, these are nobles, most people with higher
education (there are people from peasants with higher education).
Among those executed were officers of the tsarist army, several young poets and
writers, museum staff, two professors, the Minister of War,
military pilot.
... We find here four young priests ... "

Ancient Taganka - a former working area, where today they have concentrated beautiful temples, interesting museums and striking architectural monuments. Let's talk about the most interesting places areas that should be included in the walking route!
1. Church of St. Martin the Confessor
Magnificent, one of the most beautiful in the capital, the temple, consecrated in the name of St. Martin the Confessor, located near Taganka. Its dedication, which is so rare for Moscow, is explained by the fact that it was founded in honor of the day of the wedding to the throne of Grand Duke Vasily III, father of the future first Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible. His accession to the throne took place on the feast of St. Martin, April 14 (27), 1503. Built in the style of classicism, the Church of St. Martin the Confessor is a recognized masterpiece of Russian architecture.
Location: st. Stanislavsky, 2.
2. Tagansky park
A pretty green oasis built in 1934. To this day, the park is a favorite vacation spot for Muscovites, city-wide festivities and many interesting events associated with the Tagansky district. Under the canopy of poplars, American maples, lindens, there are numerous benches, two gazebos, a summer stage and the only fountain on Taganka. And in the park there is a large "Children's Town", where a 200-year-old oak grows - one of the oldest trees in the central district of the capital.
Location: st. Taganskaya, 40/42.
3. Intercession Monastery
The monastery "Protection on wretched houses" was founded in 1635 by the Russian Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich on the site of a cemetery for the burial of the homeless, vagrants, drowned and executed for a long time. After the October Revolution, the monastery was abolished. In 1926, the bell tower was blown up, then the Intercession Church was closed, the chapel and grave monuments were demolished, and in 1929 the Ascension Church was closed. A park was planted on the site of the cemetery. Today, there is an operating convent, within the walls of which the blessed old woman Matrona rests, to which numerous pilgrims seek to bow. The territory of the monastery itself is flourishing and well-groomed; its buildings were restored not so long ago.
Location: st. Taganskaya, 58.
4. Museum "Bunker-42"
Engineering structure at a depth of 65 meters underground in the heart of the capital.

Now the bunker serves as a stunning military history museum of the Cold War at a depth of 65 meters. Here you can touch everything, try it on and even “launch” nuclear warheads using the famous red button. True, everything had to be restored - only armored doors and special wall cladding were preserved from the original bunker. Visiting times are by prior arrangement. Excursions - from 400 to 1200 rubles.
Location: 5th Kotelnichesky lane, 11.
5. Stalin skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya embankment
The residential building, one of the seven famous Stalinist skyscrapers, was built according to the project of architects Chechulin and Rostkovsky, as well as engineer Hoffmann in 1938-1952. Construction was carried out for the most part by the hands of the prisoners - their "messages" on the window panes of the apartments were seen by the tenants who entered the house. The process was led by Lavrenty Beria himself. He also determined the place for the construction. They say that the location of the Stalinist skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya embankment was not chosen by chance - all the streets stretching down the river depart from the building, and the house itself is located directly on the outskirts of the Kremlin. In the 50s - 80s of the twentieth century, the house on Kotelnicheskaya embankment became the residence of the creative elite and the scientific intelligentsia.
Location: Kotelnicheskaya embankment, 1/15.
6. Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gonchary
This ornate temple gem, small in size, interspersed in the old streets of Moscow. The first mention of the wooden Assumption Church, built in the settlement of potters, dates back to the beginning of the 17th century. In 1654, local potters built a new stone one-altar Assumption Church. In 1702, the Assumption chapel was rebuilt, and a refectory with a chapel of Tikhon, Bishop of Amaphunte, was built on the site of the dismantled narthex. Between 1764-1774, a three-tiered bell tower was built in the post-Peter baroque style. In Soviet times, the church was not closed.

What is Taganskaya Square? The photo that you will see in the article illustrates not only road, but also the famous red building of the Taganka Theater. Shopping mall"Zvezdochka" in the Soviet years attracted the attention of not only the townspeople, but also the guests of the capital.

Let's figure out where Taganskaya Square is located? Metro, as mentioned earlier, or "Marxist". When you enter the city, you will immediately get to where you need to go. It remains only to solve the question: "Where do you need to specifically?".
Trolleybuses No. 26 and No. 27 run along Volgogradsky Prospekt, stopping at Marksistskaya Street and Taganskaya Square (trolleybus No. 27). From Taganskaya street, as well as Nizhegorodskaya and Ryazansky avenues, there are fixed-route taxis, trolleybuses and buses (numbers: 63, 16, 56 and others).
Trolleybus "B" runs along the garden ring, but there are no stops on Taganskaya Square itself, you can just admire the views from the window.

How to get to Matronushka?
Very, very often you will meet people with flowers. It's safe to say that they follow in Maybe that's why Taganka is so popular?
Unfortunately, Matronushka's admirers constantly go in the wrong direction. Whoever decides to go to the Intercession Monastery for the first time, carefully read the following few sentences.
Moscow watch factory
On Marksistskaya Street, not far from Taganskaya Square, there is the famous Poljot watch factory. Only watches from this company can be purchased in the salon on Vorontsovskaya street, 35B, cor. 3.
If you stand on Taganskaya Square, you can see that another one leaves Marxistskaya Street to the right - this is Vorontsovskaya Street. So, basically, everything is close. You don't have to travel far.
Area parks
If you go to Matronushka, you will see on the left children's park Pryamikov, and further to the right - Tagansky Park. It is not visible from the road. Both parks are practically the only green corners of the area where you can relax, rollerblade, run around the stadium.
Pryamikov Park has a children's puppet show, athletic facilities. In summer, as a rule, children can jump on a trampoline.
big landmark
In conclusion, we add that Taganskaya Square is a periphery between highways and railway stations. From here you can walk to Kursk railway station down the Zemlyanoy Val. If you go to opposite side, then through the Moscow River it will lead to the Paveletsky railway station. Simply put, the landmark is as follows: if you look at the building of the vestibule of the Taganskaya station, then the directions are as follows:
- to the left - Paveletsky railway station;
- to the right - Kursk.
In general, Taganskaya Square helps to get to certain streets, to other areas, to go to the Moscow Ring Road. The only negative: it is very difficult to navigate, a large flow of cars, a lot of traffic lights and few clear signs. Therefore, we recall, follow with the navigator and listen to his recommendations strictly.
