South Medvedkovo

The village of Medvedkovo in the preserved sources was first mentioned in the scribal book of 1623. There is an erroneous opinion that Medvedkovo owes its name to dense forests, where there were many bears. In fact, the name of the village “Medvedevo” (originally called the village) comes from its first owner, Prince Vasily Feodorovich Medved Pozharsky (for the Pozharsky clan nicknames were added to the generic name). Thus, originally the village Medvedkovo is the family estate of the Princes Pozharsky , which was once also a favorite place of the royal hunt. The dense forest, the clear waters of the Yauza and Chermyanka rivers were really very picturesque and a good place to rest. This is probably why in the history of Medvedkov there are quite a few different owners — the well-known grandees of the Russian tsars. Well, his story began with the fact that after the expulsion of the Poles from Moscow, Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky (who came to the great-great-grandson of Prince Medved) on the wastelands into which these lands turned into a period of “Time of Troubles” , puts his boyar yard, two mills on the rivers , and, of course, a wooden church. And it became the wasteland "Medvedev" slowly recovering. ^[3]

By the end of his life, D.M. Pozharsky built there already a stone church of the Protection of the Mother of God - in honor of the liberation of Russia from the Polish-Lithuanian intervention . The church is one of the most interesting examples of medieval Russian architecture, without the mention of which no textbook can do.

In 1687 Prince Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn , friend and favorite of Princess Sofia, became Medvedkov’s owner. Then the first thing was to cast a new bell for the church with an inscription on it about the eternal right of the new owner Golitsyn to Medvedkovskie land. But the story decreed otherwise. When Peter I came to power, many supporters of Princess Sophia were destroyed and exiled, including V.V. Golitsyn. Medvedkovo was confiscated, described and transferred to the boyars Naryshkins, relatives of the king's mother. They cared little about their property, and it often passed from hand to hand. For decades in the old village near Moscow time seemed to have stopped. And yet the outlandish beauty, the patriarchal life, made this region the pearl of the neighborhood. Therefore, in the nineteenth century, well-known artists, writers (for example, MA Vrubel , V.Ya. Bryusov , etc.) began to come here frequently for recreation and creative work. ^[3]

According to art historians, the so-called Medvedkovskoe Altar Gospel of 1681 with miniatures, according to legend, made by Tsarevna Sophia, was of great value. Later his tracks are lost. The iconostasis of the church was also, apparently, made in the 1780s of the 18th century by order of V.V. Golitsyn and remade in the XIX century. At the same time, the ancient royal gates from the Medvedkovo church, according to the historian I.M. Snegirev , were taken to the palace of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich in St. Petersburg . ^[3]

In Soviet times , a collective farm was created in Medvedkov, and in 1960, after the construction of the Moscow Ring Road, it entered the line of the capital. ^[four]
