Church of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women. Dusseldorf Park: features, history of construction, temple in the park Karl Marx Street

A year in the Yamskaya settlement dependent on the parish people. At first the church was wooden. It is dedicated to St. Myrrh-Bearers because, according to legend, its builders, parishioners-coachmen, performed a prayer service on this day on the occasion of driving the cattle out to pasture. On the same day there was a fair, mainly for horses. In the church there are icons of St. Blasius and Flora and Lavra, which are especially revered by cattle breeders.

The best decoration of the temple was its iconostasis, which included icons from the previous temple. There were many revered icons in the chapels. Among them are the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God with a reliquary cross; icons of the Savior; St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, martyrs Florus and Laurus of the 17th century, martyr Blasius of the 17th century. In the Sretensky chapel, the Kaluga residents especially revered the icon of the Presentation of the Lord, painted by order of the citizens of Kaluga during the plague in the city. The Mironositsky Church then stood on the edge of the city towards Moscow. On February 2 of the same year, on the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, a religious procession was held from all the city churches to Mironositsky. Here, in front of the icon of the Presentation, the townspeople prayerfully asked for heavenly protection in the disaster that befell Kaluga. The religious procession was repeated on February 2 due to the fever epidemic that broke out in the city after the War of 1812.

The temple was closed in the city and was then used for storage space. From the city of Mironositsky the temple is a monument of architecture and urban planning of republican significance.

Since then, the bell tower has been used as a water tower, for which a metal tank with a capacity of about 500 tons of water was mounted inside it, which the structure could withstand. The arches of the bell tower were filled with bricks.

In the city the temple was transferred to the Church. On April 29, the 3rd Sunday after Easter, the first prayer service was served for the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women there. The main altar of the temple is in honor of St. The Myrrh-Bearing Women was consecrated in the city by Archbishop Clement of Kaluga and Borovsk. On July 5, 1993, Abbot Donat (Petenkov) was appointed chairman of the parish council and responsible for carrying out restoration work. During the restoration work, the roof was re-covered, the floor was laid with marble, heating was installed, electrical wiring was replaced, new frames and doors were installed, the temple was plastered and painted on the outside, iconostases were made for the main altar and chapels, and its painting began.

Zaryadye is one of the oldest districts of Moscow and today represents great potential for archaeological research. Despite the fact that the foundations of the Rossiya Hotel destroyed 2/3 of the area of ​​the possible archaeological layer, nevertheless, archaeologists managed to study something in the 1940-1950s before laying the foundation of the 8th high-rise (Initially planned on the site of the demolished quarters of Zaryadye build a high-rise building and even laid the foundation with the frame of the first floors, but construction was frozen and after a couple of decades the foundation was used to build a hotel).


Of particular interest to me is the foundation found during excavations in 1955 in the northwestern part of Zaryadye. The find was studied in detail in 1956. The remains of the structure were located on the northwestern side of the intersection of Yeletsky and Maksimovsky lanes.


Development of Zaryadye until the 1930s. The location of the found foundation is indicated in red.

The foundation preserved not only the fact of the structure’s existence, but also its history. I often come across a situation where in the 20th century a temple was converted into a secular building, residential or commercial, and the reasons for such transformations are clear, so it is interesting to see similar scenarios of life and reconstruction of the temple in a long-term historical perspective.


Plan of found foundations

The found foundation, 1.8 meters high, makes it possible to distinguish two stages in the formation of the structure. The walls of room 1 are made of blocks of white stone and have a similar masonry structure as the basement of the Church of the Conception of Anna, which is in the Corner. The walls of room 2 were erected simultaneously with the walls of rooms 1 and 4. However, room 2 was not used in any way after the alteration. The dating of the first stage of construction is determined between the end of the 15th century and the third quarter of the 16th century, and the stone used in backfilling corresponds to the monuments of Moscow of the 16th century. A cemetery was found on the west side of the building.

All this, together with historical written evidence, indicates that this core once represented the foundation of a small pillarless church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women.

It is more difficult to reconstruct the second stage structure. The walls of rooms 3,5,6,7,8 above ground level were made of the same building material - brick, which indicates their simultaneous construction. The vaults and part of the walls of room 3 are made of white stone, which may have been obtained from the dismantling of an older structure, and possibly fragments of the original temple. It is difficult to date a brick, because... it does not correlate with other construction stages, but most closely it corresponds to the brick of the early 17th century from which the Kazan Cathedral in Moscow was built.

Some signs suggest that it is the second stage of the building’s existence as a civil structure. Room 3 is built in the shape of a rectangle, elongated from west to east, which is not found in pillarless churches of that time; in addition, if we assume that the temple is located higher, the entrance is on the east side, which is unacceptable for a church building. The walls of rooms 5,6,7 and 8 have an insignificant thickness of one and a half bricks, which refutes the location above the massive temple walls.

Archival written sources help determine the time and purpose of structures. An English farmstead arose on the territory of the quarter in the middle of the 16th century. The English court occupied the area between the Church of Barbara and the Church of Maxim. On one side it overlooked the barbarian street, and on the other on Znamensky (Eletsky) Lane. Between the English courtyard and the Church of Barbara there was the old Money Court.

In the southern part of the quarter, the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women was located. The first mention of its construction dates back to 1566: the church was “made... in the New Town near the Ustyuzhinsky courtyard.” The Ustyuzhinsky Gostiny Dvor was mentioned in 1638. In the 15th century a stone church did not yet exist, but a small wooden church may have stood.

In the middle of the 17th century, great changes occurred in the land holdings of the quarter. After the liquidation of the English court in 1649, its territory was transferred to the okolnichy Ivan Andreevich Miloslavsky, a relative of the wife of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. In 1657, he was granted the boyars, and, apparently, he was given the adjacent merchant courtyard, like the English one. The expansion of the property, having restrictions in the form of church properties on the northern side, was carried out at the expense of private lands on the southern side of the quarter, which were purchased between 1649 and 1663. Miloslavsky's possessions captured almost the entire quarter and surrounded the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women. The "building" book of 1657 is called his only parishioner.

After the death of Miloslavsky (1663) and his wife (1669), the process of fragmenting his plot began. Tsar Fyodor Alekseevich from the Miloslavsky court allocated a plot for the courtyard of the Annunciation Patriarchal Monastery in Nizhny Novgorod. The church and the adjacent territory with the cemetery became part of the estate and was mentioned in 1677 and 1689. "Istari built a church and a cemetery throughout the courtyard."

The Annunciation Metochion existed for 17-20 years and in 1693 was sold to the Voronezh Bishop Mitrofan. But at this time the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women is no longer mentioned. Its last mention was in 1677, but already in 1703 the Church of the Annunciation was mentioned. In 1678-1681, the construction of a courtyard is mentioned, during which, apparently, the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women was completed and renamed the Church of the Annunciation. During this period, the apse was partially dismantled, and an outbuilding was built in its place.

A fire in May 1737 put an end to the existence of the metochion, although formally it remained under the Voronezh bishop's house. We can judge the nature of the existing chambers in the Voronezh courtyard from the officer’s inventory of 1763: there are “stone chambers in three apartments, dilapidated, in them there is a church with a dilapidated chapel, 8 chambers and one vestibule, 12.5 fathoms long, 6 fathoms wide ". In 1766, the chambers of the Voronezh courtyard were described as “stone, dilapidated, collapsed.” In the same year, an announcement appeared about the sale of the courtyard at auction with the following words: “a bishop’s courtyard with a dilapidated stone building and a church, with three apartments and cellars.”

In 1772, the farmstead was sold to merchant A.I. Krashennikov. In 1779, the head of the church was dismantled; this year is considered the last date of the existence of the Church of the Annunciation. in 1787 the plot was sold to ensign I.P. Smetanin, who in 1790 built a new stone building, dismantling the existing buildings. The remains of the foundation of the new building covered parts of the foundations of the 16th-17th centuries.

Thus, three stages can be distinguished.

1566-1676 the existence of the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women, which belongs to the type of small pillarless township churches of the late 15th - early 17th centuries. Unlike other similar churches, this one was interesting due to the presence of a northern aisle (Nikolsky), separated into a separate volume, which is not typical for monuments of that time. (it is worth mentioning that one of the first, and perhaps the first such temple, erected immediately with an attached chapel, is the Trinity Cathedral in Alexandrov, built in 1513). Like many churches, the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women was located on a basement sunk into the ground. The floor of the church rose relatively slightly above the ground. The basement was made of white stone with fragments of small bricks. The walls of the upper floor were made of brick. Under the apses of the church and the chapel there were no rooms in the basement. The church had perspective portals with white stone details. The church was covered with black-polished tiles.

1676-1693 Reconstruction of the Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women with reconsecration into the house Church of the Annunciation of the Annunciation Monastery Metochion. At this time, the apses were partially dismantled and an extension was built that had a utility purpose - “a stone cellar... with an exit.”

1693-1772 The buildings are described as chambers on 3 floors, with a home church, 8 chambers and an entrance hall. At this stage the history of the temple ended.

To restore the approximate appearance of the existing Church of the Myrrh-Bearing Women, one can find its analogues from the same period. The closest is the Church of Tryphon in Naprudny, which is also a pillarless small temple built at the end of the 15th - beginning of the 16th centuries.

In one of the fastest growing areas of Moscow, near the Bratislavskaya metro station, there is Dusseldorf Park. The recreation area was opened in 2009. Until this moment, on the site of the park there was an unremarkable recreation area of ​​the tenth microdistrict. Then they decided to change the name in honor of the city from where the designers and builders were invited. They realized landscape ideas and laid out beautiful flower beds. Now, while walking through Dusseldorf Park, you get the impression that you are in Germany.

Features of the park in Maryino

The park covers an area of ​​9.4 hectares on hilly terrain. At the foot there is a pond. This place has a completely artificial landscape, but it looks like a natural park.

Around the hill, near the pond, along the territory of the Dusseldorf park there are landscaped paths and alleys with benches. The area is beautifully landscaped: birches, maples, and conifers grow along the alleys. The entire Dusseldorf park is harmoniously divided into the territory.

The Düsseldorf Radschläger is installed on one of the squares. This is a boy performing a cartwheel flip. It is considered the symbol of Düsseldorf. An interesting solution was the placement of signs in the German style. On the territory of the Dusseldorf park there is the Church of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women.

History of the temple

Hearings on the need to build a temple of the Myrrh-Bearing Women in Düsseldorf Park were held on February 6, 2012. Residents of Maryino unanimously supported its foundation. Moreover, according to the chosen project, in addition to the temple, a parable house should be built on the territory of the park.

At the end of April, a prayer service was held at the site where construction was planned.

On August 14, 2012, with the blessing of Bishop Savva of the Resurrection, the Worship Cross was installed, and four days later it was consecrated by Dean Archpriest A. Rodionov. From that day on, prayer services began to be held in front of the cross every Saturday.

At the beginning of December, Mikhail Sergeev was appointed rector of the church under construction.

On January 4, 2015, Bishop Savva of the Resurrection performed the rite of minor consecration of the temple and the first liturgy in it. The day before this moment, an iconostasis was installed in the temple.

Myrrh-Bearing Women

The Myrrh-Bearing Women are women who received Christ in their homes during his travels. They went to the place of Jesus' crucifixion. Women witnessed the suffering of the Savior. From very early on Sunday morning they hurried to the Holy Sepulcher to anoint his body with myrrh. And they were the first to know that the Savior had risen.

The authors of the Gospels say the names of these women: Mary Magdalene, Salome - the mother of John and James Zebedee, Mary - the mother of James, Joanna - the wife of Chuza. The Holy Scriptures speak about Mary, Martha, and Susanna. These women were included in liturgical texts under the general name of Myrrh-Bearing Women.

According to scripture, Mary Magdalene came first to the Holy Sepulcher. When she saw that Jesus was not in him, she cried, believing that the body had been stolen.

After the apostles left, Magdalene remained at the tomb. At this time, Christ appeared to her, whom she initially mistook for a gardener. He asked to speak about his resurrection. As Mary made her way to the apostles, she met the second Mary and told her the good news. And Christ appeared again, commanding him to tell the good news. When the disciples heard about the resurrection, they did not believe it.

According to another version, Christ first appeared not to Magdalene, but to his mother Mary. In the Gospel of Matthew, the Myrrh-Bearing Women were the first to see Jesus.

In their appearance, the church sees not only those who helped Christ, but also other peasant women. Their faces are displayed on icons.

In Orthodoxy, the third week of Easter is called the Week of the Myrrh-Bearing Women. On it, relatives, children, friends should congratulate their loved ones - mothers, sisters, spouses.

Schedule of services

According to the schedule of services in the church in Dusseldorf Park, liturgies are celebrated on Mondays and Saturdays of each week at 9.00. Evening services are held at 17.00 and 18.00, but not every day. On weekdays, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, evening liturgies are held. On weekends, evening services are held at five o'clock in the evening.

Dusseldorf Park in Moscow is a unique place where you can not only relax, but also visit a temple. Its construction allowed people to give up long trips to churches, because now Maryino has its own, albeit small, church, located in a beautiful place.

Church of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women

Address: st. Karl Marx

1628 - the first written mention in the patriarchal books: “the Church of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women in the suburb outside the city... tribute 12 altyn 4 dengi, vicarious hryvnia.” In 164 (1656) the tribute from this church was increased: “32 altyns were paid, two money. In 1710-1715 the priest here was a certain Yakov Ivanov.”

In the 17th century at the Myronositsa Church there was another warm wooden church in the name of St. Leonty, Bishop of Rostov, with a chapel in the name of St. Guria and Barsanuphius, Kazan miracle workers.
In 1732, the priest of the Myronositsk Church, Alexander Yakovlev, reported to the state synodal order that this church “became dilapidated and the roof was rotten and wood was made for this church”; therefore, he asked permission to dismantle it with the chapel and re-build a warm church in the name of “Hodegetria the Most Holy.” Mother of God." According to the certificate in the order, it turned out that “according to the salary books of 732, there were 49 parish households in the Mironositsky parish, in the scribe books there were 133 and 134 (1625 and 1626). it is written: “reap 30 kopecks and reap 20 kopecks.” Meanwhile, sacred. Alexander Yakovlev stated that he would like to consecrate the new church “not in the name of the Hodegetria of the Most Holy Theotokos, but in honor of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos.” On January 31, 1732, the requested permission was given and in the same year the warm church was built. In 1732, the cold Myrrh-Bearing Church needed a new antimension, because in December 1731 “thieves stole many church things, including the consecrated antimension from the altar,” and therefore no services were held in the church. This cold church existed until 1756.
In 1756, in the month of April, a newly appointed priest from the Vladimir Assumption Convent in place of the priest Alexander Yakovlev who died in 1755 (this priest was buried near the Miron Church) Andrei Vasiliev, with the church warden Yakov Borovetsky, asked for the reconstruction of the dilapidated Mironositsky Church. The Vladimir Spiritual Consistory instructed the Dmitrievsky priest Peter to examine the dilapidation of the mentioned church. It turned out: About the time of construction of this church, the parish people showed that they do not have any written news about it, “in fact, in this Myrrh-Bearing Church, in the second tier, above the Apostles, there is an inscription in the tibla: summer 7157 (1649), September 21 day, under the power of the Sovereign Tsar and Grand Duke Alexei Mikhailovich of All Russia, under His Holiness Joseph Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', a church was erected in the name of the holy Myrrh-Bearing Women, according to the great diligence of Vasily Ermalaev, after his parents.” And what’s more, this deacon (the testimony was taken from the deacon, there must have been no priest at that time), and the parish people themselves have no news; Yes, there are no old parish people at this church now.” In May of the same year, an inventory of the dilapidations of the Myronositsa Church was compiled, in which it turned out:
1. The cross on the head began to shake due to rottenness.
2. The roof and the plank roof of the church were all on fire and sank.
3. The altar and church walls in many places, and especially the logs from the ground rotted, and as a result the church swayed to the north side.
4. There are papers around that church, and the roof on them is very rotten and sagging. Near the paper and the entrance tents all rotted and collapsed without a trace.
5. Inside that church, in the altar from the altar to the altar, the floor was very bent.
6. And this church will no longer be reliable for sacred service without restructuring.
The church estate land at this church along 60 fathoms in half, across 19 fathoms and a quarter, hayfields 20 kopecks.
There is a blessed document in the file, from which it is clear that the dilapidated wooden Myronositsa Church was dismantled and rebuilt with the addition of new wood and erected in the same place. The diploma was given in Vladimir “year of the universe 7264” (1756).
Upon examination of the newly built church it turned out:
1. The church was built of wood, the dome is upholstered with tin, the cross is gilded.
2. The royal doors are carved, the canopy and columns are gilded.
3. Tin vessels.
4. The altar gospel is new, covered with green velvet, the crucifix and silver evangelists.
The newly built church was consecrated by His Grace Plato, Bishop of Vladimir.
In the Topographical description of the city of Vladimir in 1761 it is noted: “the church of St. wooden myrrh-bearer, built in 1756; with her the warmth of the church in the name of the Entrance to the Temple of the Most Holy. Mother of God, built in 1732."
In 1776, instead of these wooden churches, a stone church was built, to which a covered stone gallery was added on the north side. On the church dome there is an iron carved gilded four-pointed cross with a crown at the top and a crescent at the bottom.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a Gothic stone bell tower was built, a gallery was built around the church and painted with yellow paint.

In 1862, the future Emperor Alexander II visited the temple.
On November 18, 1864, the churchwarden of the Myronositsa Church, Vladimir tradesman Alexei Godovikov, for his diligent service in this position, was given the blessing of the Holy Governing Synod with the issuance of the established charter.
On June 11, 1865, the gratitude of His Eminence Theophan, Bishop of Vladimir, to the priest of the Myronositsk Church Andrei Zlatovratsky was declared for successfully bringing to consciousness through exhortations those accused of criminal matters.
On December 17, 1866, deacon, Vladimir district, Nikolai Vinogradov was moved to the Vladimir City Myrrh-Bearing Church.

In con. In the 19th century, the Temple had 2 thrones: in the “cold” one - in the name of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women, in the “warm” - in the name of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos.

Worship cross

On May 24, 2001, in Vladimir, at the bottom of the stairs of Vokzalny Descent, a Worship Cross was installed in memory of the Church of the Holy Myrrh-Bearing Women (Myrrh-Bearing Women) demolished in 1929.
The cross is made of white stone. Diocesan architect Alexander Trofimov and sculptor Sergei Lopukhov worked on its creation.
Later, a wooden chapel and two stalls of church literature and utensils were built next to the cross. So a whole memorial complex was formed in memory of the lost temple.

Communal Descent (Lukyanovsky Descent)

Communal Descent (formerly Lukyanovsky Descent) is located from to the street. Vokzalnaya.
The toponym “Lukyanovsky Descent” appeared in the 19th century and is associated with the merchant I.M. Lukyanov, whose estate was located in the area of ​​the Vladimir Hotel.

In the 17th century, a resident of Vladimir explained where his garden was located: “Nikifor Ivanov, the son of the Kazarins, said during interrogation: in Volodymyr, on the settlement inside the Old Earthen City, near the rampart and along the rampart thereof, Kazarinov has a garden.” From the 17th century, the name Kazarinov successfully “reached” the 20th century. Apparently, the garden in question disappeared, and in this place a lane appeared - with the name of the former owner of the garden.
Kazarinov lane from Mironositskaya st. to Vokzalnaya st. (1899):
Right side: 2. Zamytskaya House, 4. Myasnikvov House, 6. Myasnikov House, 8. Tikhonov House, 10. Tikhonov House.
Left side: 1. Vasiliev House, 3. Bogdanov House, 5. Kazarinov House, 7. Kazarinov House, 9. Ignatenko House, 11. Yakovlev House, 13. Pankov House.

On December 24, 1927, by resolution of the Presidium of the City Council No. 55, with another surge in renaming, Kazarinov Lane, together with Lukyanovsky Spusk, received a common name - Communal Descent.

At the intersection of Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street and Communal Spusk there is the Vladimir Hotel (Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street, 74). On the site of the hotel before the revolution there stood a large stone house in the Baroque style with a wide entrance and high windows framed on the sides by columns. The house belonged to the excise department. It was demolished for the construction of a hotel.
“In 1943, shoulder straps were introduced into the army. Vova, of course, immediately bought a poster at the Kogiz store depicting shoulder straps in all branches of the military. I also learned the meaning of all the stars, and a group of kids - about six of us - went every day after school to the stalls located on the main street, slightly on a hill, opposite the future building of the Nerl restaurant. We sat down on the wide counter of the pharmacy kiosk that stood here, and as soon as an officer with shoulder straps passed by, the guys asked me: “Lenk, who’s coming?” I competently determined the matter, and we shouted in unison: “Hello, Comrade Lieutenant!” And so they greeted everyone according to their rank. They smiled and responded to the greeting, probably surprised at how quickly the children learned the meaning of the stars...” (from the memoirs of E.P. Chebotnyagina).

Hotel "Vladimir" – 70s


St. B. Moskovskaya, 74

In front of the future hotel "Vladimir" back in the 19th century. there was an Ivanovsky Bridge.
The hotel was built in the 50s. XX century The project was developed by the famous Leningrad architect David Buryshkin back in the second half. 1940s, when the Vladimir authorities took up the urban planning junction in the area of ​​​​the intersection of modern Bolshaya Moskovskaya and Kommunalny Descent. As Rimma Konopleva, an expert on Vladimir architecture, says, the designers were faced with the task of designing the entrance to the city from the railway station. There was talk of building a hotel and cinema in this place.
Buryshkin's project was subsequently finalized. This was done by a special group created in 1950 at the Vladimir “Oblproekt”, which included architects Nikolai Likin, Vladimir Avrutsky and Boris Shiganov. The project, which is still called one of the most successful in Vladimir architecture, was ready by 1951, and construction began then. As a result, in 1956 Vladimir received a beautiful building and an excellent hotel, which became one of the calling cards of the city.
The hotel was opened on New Year's Eve, 1956.
The hotel building is organically integrated into the historical environment of the city. Its tower with a hipped roof contains a hint of an ancient fortress tower. On the roof there is a platform with a balustrade overlooking the Zaklyazma expanse. The hotel had 115 rooms that could accommodate up to 250 guests. On the ground floor of the building there was a restaurant, a grocery store, a hairdresser and a communications office.
Hotel "Vladimir" remembers many famous people, such as the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and the first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. As the legendary head of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve Alisa Aksenova recalls, the residents of Vladimir, having learned about Gagarin’s arrival, began chanting in the square in front of the hotel: “Gagarin! Gagarin! The first cosmonaut was forced to go out onto the hotel balcony and greet people.

Stairs leading to

“In the interests of citizens - workers of the city of Vladimir, living in the area near the station, as well as passengers arriving and departing from the city, it is necessary to restore and restore the staircase leading down to the station along Bogoslovsky Lane. The railings and part of the steps of the staircase were broken and carried away. The staircase itself is dilapidated and poses a risk of accidents, especially for passengers carrying heavy loads. Since the city water supply is periodically inactive, citizens have to go down and up the broken stairs with buckets. This staircase is not fixed for several months after the first repair, as it turned out, very superficial. In view of the large traffic along it, it is necessary to make iron fastenings for the steps and railings” (Newspaper “Privo”, November 1, 1921).

May 16/29, 1913. “The Tsar, having arrived by train, walked along Mironositskaya Street (under Soviet rule, renamed Karl Marx Street). Ahead, decorating the sovereign's procession, guardsmen rode on white horses. Behind the walking king walked proud, excited schoolgirls in white hats, and behind them the schoolchildren dressed in gray uniforms diligently walked. On Cathedral Square, trellises lined the soldiers of the Siberian and Little Russian infantry regiments stationed in the city. Some of the high school students, along with the realists, also stood in neat rows along the Lipki square. In thoughtful detachment, the Emperor proceeded to the Assumption Cathedral in order to ascend the pulpit to take part in the solemn prayer service on the occasion of the tercentenary of the House of Romanov. The heir to the throne, the ill Tsarevich Alexei, was carried in his arms by a Don Cossack in a red caftan and with a waist-length beard. Security was carried out under the personal supervision of the police chief. Everything, as my mother, Anna Nikolaevna, told me years later, is five years older than Uncle Lyosha” (Leonid Zrelov, “Time of Meetings and Separations” Vladimir. 2008).

Since the 17th century, below the walls of the Nativity Monastery, which stands on a high hill, there has existed Slobodka Makarovka, which was also called Podmonastyrskaya Slobodka, Podmonastyrsky Posad. On the southern slope, under the mountain, at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries there were streets - Podsobornaya and Podbulvarnaya. In 1923 they were united under one name, and to this day the street bears the name of Uritsky, a leader of the revolutionary movement. Nearby there is a dead end, which in 1950 changed its nomenclature from Uritsky's dead end to Uritsky's lane, but is now again listed on the city map as Uritsky's dead end. The former names of the streets also spoke eloquently about the city's topography: the streets were located below, under the monastery, cathedral, and boulevard located on an elevated place.
