Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 2 hours
* The area, it would seem, was and is located on the periphery of the historical center. At the same time, its importance for the history of the city and the country cannot be overestimated. Peter the Great spent his childhood and youth here, the Russian regular army was formed, industry was strengthened, and disgraced Old Believer communities found peace. The Preobrazhensky district holds many surprises and revelations, even for the most experienced connoisseurs of the Mother See. On the route: Russia's first regularly planned quarter, the palace on the Yauza, the Electric Factory, the house of the merchant Nosov, the Gamma art quarter, masterpieces of wooden architecture, experimental quarters, brick factory buildings, the site of Peter's Transfiguration Palace, two Old Believer monasteries, the last open market in Moscow, Preobrazhenskaya Square and the Guards Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord, returned from nothingness. Tourists rarely visit Preobrazhenskoye. Perhaps it's for the best. This means that the Preobrazhenka Street tour is a quiet walk through a real, but at the same time entertaining part of Moscow, a corner between the Yauza River and the former Kamer-Kollezhsky Val. Interestingly, it was in Preobrazhenskoye that the first theatrical "disgrace" ("spectacle") was shown under Alexei Mikhailovich, and thus the transition from the buffoons to the theater took place, and regular construction began long before the appearance of St. Petersburg. In general, historians and our guide can assert during the tour that here, on Preobrazhenka, Russia has become Russia! The navy, army, industry, and statehood were forged in these places, along with Peter.
