Kuntsevo (city)

• The Dahl dictionary says that the name “ Kuntsevo ” comes from the word “ kuntse ” - the name of the songbird Rarus, tit, as all the peasants in Kuntsevo are birders ^[4] .
• There are assumptions that the name " Kuntsevo " (also written " Kuntsovo "), comes from the Old Russian words kunet - prettier , kunka - good, sweet. It reflected the picturesqueness of this place ^[5] .
• According to the third version, the name comes from the personal name Kunets ^[6] .
• In the fourth, the name " Kuntsevo " is due to the fact that in this area there were a lot of fur animals, in particular martens . But if this is so, then the name would rather have the form of Kunitsyno , and not Kuntsevo .

Kuntsevo Fortified

The first human settlements on the territory of Kuntsev belong to the Dyakovo culture ( V century BC. - VII century BC. E.). Here was the Kuntsevo settlement - a fortified village of a patriarchal kind. The ancient settlement belongs to one of the oldest settlements on the territory of modern Moscow. This place is also called the "Slavic" or "Polish" cemetery.

As a result of excavations, the remains of residential and household ground-based structures of a pillar construction, as well as fortification systems from stockade lines, were discovered. Numerous finds characterize the economy and life of pastoralists, hunters, early farmers and fishermen. Found tools for casting non-ferrous metals, metal jewelry, bone products, clay, iron. In the XI - XIII centuries. Kuntsevo settlement was inhabited by the Vyatichi who were engaged in arable farming and cattle breeding. Found tools, household items and crafts, characteristic tribal jewelry. ^[7]

In the XIII - XVI centuries. on the upper platform of the Kuntsevo settlement there was a wooden, then a stone church of the Intercession of the Virgin in the Settlement. White stone carved tombstones, coins, metal crosses and images were found in the area of ​​the former church cemetery. The historian of Moscow, Ivan Yegorovich Zabelin , who visited the settlement in the 1840s , personally found a gravestone with the date: "Summer 7065.1557 died." Earlier slabs usually had only ornamentation instead of tombstones. The settlement with the church on the territory of the Kuntsevo settlement was ruined, probably during the Time of Troubles of the beginning of the XVII century .

The place where the Kuntsevo settlement is located is called the damned, as it was considered a “pagan temple” and a number of traditions are associated with it. According to one of them, the Church of the Protection of the Virgin, which stood here, without a trace went underground with the cross in just one night. ^[7] Also in the channels of streams near the settlement one can still now find in large numbers the fossils called belemnites, popularly known as “devil fingers”. The evidence of pagan culture until the 20th century was the famous “woman” (a block of stone), resembling a human figure in its outlines. "Baba" stood first in the middle of the peninsula in the hollow of an elm, then was transferred to the manor garden at the estate.

An oak tree was grown near the hillfort, a four-girth, oak about one thousand years old. This phenomenon was described in the Life of Plants by K. A. Timiryazev , that is, this is a reliable fact.

M. I. Voskresensky wrote the novel “Cursed Place” (1838), the main actions of which take place on this hill. The novel "Cursed place" at the time made a lot of noise in the reading Moscow.

Kuntsevo settlement is depicted in the picture of A. K. Savrasov “Autumn forest. Kuntsevo. (Cursed place) ”, 1872 .

Kuntsevo Village

The first mention of the Kuntsevo area dates back to 1454 , when the Rostov governor Pyotr Konstantinovich mentioned in his will the village of Ipskoy , located near Kuntsev, on the site of a lime grove. But even earlier, when Moscow became the Grand Duchy, the lands closest to it along the banks of the Moskva River belonged to the grand princely estates. According to some reports, one of the first owners of the Setunsky camp , which included the territory of modern Kuntsev, was Vladimir Andreyevich , Prince Serpukhovskaya, the grandson of Ivan Kalita and one of the participants in the Battle of Kulikovo . Later, these lands were owned by the aforementioned boyar Pyotr Konstantinovich Rostovsky, who transferred Kuntsevo to the possession of the Moscow Assumption Cathedral for a "mention of the soul" ^[8] .

In 1611 - 1612, during the Time of Troubles, on the Khoroshevsky and Setunsky meadows, near Kuntsev, the troops of the Polish hetman Zholkevsky stood. In 1613, Prince Klintsev approached Kuntsev with troops, seeking to seize the Moscow throne. The troops of the prince were defeated and driven away from Moscow by the Russian militia ^[9] .

The first mention of Kuntsev proper is contained in a letter of 1622 issued by Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich to the nun of the Kremlin Ascension Monastery Irina Ivanovna Mstislavskaya - sister of the head of the Semiboyarshchyna boyar Fedor Ivanovich Mstislavsky . After the death of her brother, Irina Ivanovna got the lands along the banks of the Khvilka River with the village of Fili, the villages of Gusarevo, Ipskoye, Kuntsovo and Mazilovo, and eight wastelands. At that time there was only one courtyard in Kuntsov, where “the peasant Ivashka Ivanov lived , and Kirill Nikitin was the lord with him <...> The peasant had arable land in the middle land of half four (1/16 tithe) in the field; yes, he plowed three chetis (1 ½ tithing); under the fallow and the forest was nearly 2 tithes; hay 15 kopen; the forest of uncultivated 2 tithes ” ^[10] . At the same time, Kuntsovo was named in the letter “the old patrimony of the princes of Mstislavsky, ” which, according to historians, testifies to his belonging to this family from the beginning of the 16th century.

Upon the death of Princess Mstislavskaya in 1639, the village of Kuntsevo passed into the palace estates. In 1649, Kuntsevo, which had by that time become a wasteland, was sold by Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich to his father-in-law Ilya Danilovich Miloslavsky , after his daughter Maria married the tsar. Kuntsevo was inhabited by peasants and turned into a small village. There is information that Alexei Mikhailovich liked to hunt in the Kuntsevsky forests rich in game and probably visited his father-in-law several times.

After the death of the boyar I. D. Miloslavsky in 1668, Kuntsevo again passed into palace possession. And in 1677 it was granted by Tsar Fedor Alekseevich Ivan Mikhailovich Miloslavsky , the nephew of the previous owner ^[11] .

Upon the death of Ivan Miloslavsky in 1685, the village of Kuntsevo was transferred to his daughter Fedosya, who married Tsarevich Imeretinsky. And after her death in 1689, she passed on a testament to the Kremlin Assumption Cathedral “for the memory of the soul” and was assigned to the patriarchal village of Trinity-Golenishchevo. In the same year, neighboring Fili, Mazilovo, Gusarevo and Ipskoy were granted by Peter I to Lev Kirillovich Naryshkin - the brother of Tsarina Natalya . The following year, Lev Kirillovich decided to round off his possessions and, with the mediation of Andrei Matveev, traded at the patriarch Kuntsevo with Gorodishche and wastelands Plutkino and Rezantsevo. Lev Kirillovich owned Kuntsev until his death in 1705, then it passed to his young sons. In 1732, the heirs of Leo Kirillovich divided his possessions among themselves; at the same time, Kuntsevo went to Alexander Lvovich , who built a stone church in the estate, arranged gardens, greenhouses, and avenues.

From 1746 to 1799, the village and the manor belonged to his son, Obertschalmeister Catherine II Lev Aleksandrovich ^[12] . In 1763, Empress Catherine visited him in Kuntsevo. In memory of this event, a marble column with the monogram of the Empress was installed in front of the estate. The next owner of Kuntsev - Alexander Lvovich - almost never visited the estate, spending all the time in St. Petersburg and abroad.

At the beginning of the XIX century, Kuntsevo became a popular summer cottage, where many famous people of that time rest. The historians N. M. Karamzin , T. N. Granovsky , writers L. N. Tolstoy , I. S. Turgenev , artists A. K. Savrasov , V. G. Perov , and I. N. Kramskoy lived and worked in Kuntsevo. In Kuntsevo there was also a summer residence of the founder of the Tretyakov Gallery P. M. Tretyakov . The composer P.I. Tchaikovsky also visited Kuntsevo. On his trip to Kuntsevo on September 29, 1867, the composer wrote: "A charming place ... by the way, he recorded there an excellent song from the voice of a peasant woman . " This song - “The Nightingale” - was subsequently used by him in a number of musical works.

The last owner of this kind was Vasily Lvovich Naryshkin, who in 1865 sold the Kuntsevo estate to KT Soldatyonkov . Other parts of the former possession of the Naryshkins were acquired by merchants Solodovnikov and Smirnov . In the 1890s, a summer theater was opened here, there was the so-called "Tea Grove". In 1913, the Soldatyonkovs built on the foundation of the Naryshkin church in 1744 a new church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary . In 1932 the temple was closed, a separate bell tower was destroyed. The temple was re-consecrated in 1991 ( Bolshaya Filevskaya St. , 65).

Kuntsevo Village

In 1870, the Moscow-Brest (now Belorusskaya) railway passed south of the village, on which in 1874 the Kuntsevo peninsula was opened for summer residents, and in 1900 a stone station building was built.

The area near the station gradually began to be built up with cottages. In the 1890s, on the land of society, the village of Krylatsky north of the railway. The village of "Old Kuntsevo" arose; at the beginning of the 20th century, a territory was built up south of the railway, called the “New Kuntsevo”. On the lands of the village of Spas Setun , to the west of Novy Kuntsev, the village of Bogdanovka grew up, named after the landowner Pyotr Ilyich Bogdanov (the area of ​​modern Guards Street ), to the south of Mozhaisk Highway - Zhukovka (in the area of ​​modern street. Veresaeva ) ^{[13] [14]} . Next to him, he acquired a plot for summer cottages by the Filippov baker (the territory of the modern stadium and Kuntsevo park). In Old Kuntsevo, a large building plot is acquired by the owner of the Moscow button factory Ksenofont Abramovich Zbuk (territory near the Prefecture of ZAO), etc.

The high incomes from the summer cottage business attracted many Moscow entrepreneurs in Kuntsevo. “In New Kuntsevo <...> a tenant who took 3-4 tithes of 12 kopecks. fathom, retakes it in small sections to sub-tenants of 50 kopecks. for fathoms. ” Most landowners built them with wooden tenement houses for 2 or 4 rooms. Prices in the village of Kuntsevo were very democratic in comparison with the dachas in the village of Kuntsevo, but higher than in the neighboring Mazilov, Aminiev, Davydkova and Ochakovo. In 1912, a 2-room apartment in New Kuntsevo surrendered for 10 rubles. in season. Hiring a site cost 100 rubles. for the summer and 200 rubles. per year ^[15] .

Over time, the village acquired all the necessary attributes of modern civilization: a post office, a restaurant ^[16] , stone baths ^[17] open here; cinematography appears ^[18] , a wooden theater is being built according to the project of ND Strukov ^[19] , kerosene-glow lighting is arranged along the streets. As early as 1893, the Setuna Hospital (now the City Clinical Hospital No. 71 ) was opened on the Mozhayskoye Highway ^[20] . And in 1917 a stone two-story 8-grade school was built on Field Street ^[21] . In 1914, for the first time, a part of Moskovskaya ( Ivan Franko ), Lesnoy ( Red Dawn ) streets and Polevaya ( Bagritsky ) street was paved ^[22] . (However, most of the streets and driveways continued to be buried in mud for many more years.)

In the 1910s in the Old Kuntsevo, near the station, summer cottages F.O. Shekhtel , V.V. Mayakovsky , Kazimir Malevich were rented. The regular guests in Malevich’s house were Mayakovsky, A. Kruchenykh , M. Matyushin , A. Morgunov , Ivan Klyunkov , David and Nikolai Burlyuki ^[23] . Here the theory of futurism was developed; here in the summer of 1915 Malevich wrote his first pointless composition - a black square and other paintings of the first futuristic exhibition "0, 10" ^[24] . In 1916, David Burliuk also decided to settle in Kuntsevo and bought a house on the corner of Main ( Rashchupkin ) and Field (Bagritsky) streets ^[25] .

In 1909, a small monastery of Seraphim of Sarov appeared in Kuntsevo, as a compound of the Exaltation of the Cross Exaltation of the Poluninsky female community of the Ryazan diocese . The compound was even called the “Kuntsevo Monastery”. In Soviet times, the temple building was occupied by the Kuntsevsky branch of the plant named after Sacco and Vanzetti . In 1997, a small temporary temple with a bell tower was built on the territory of the courtyard next to the destroyed temple, it is located at 10 Bagritsky Street , building 3. Near the temporary temple there are fragments of the foundation of the former temple. The restoration of a large church in an old place is hindered by the fact that documents for the entire land plot are currently not fully assigned to the Church.

Industry Development

To the south and west of the cottage village, along the Setun River , on the land of the peasant society of the village of Spas Setun, several factories and plants arose.

In 1858, on the eighth verst from Moscow and 1 ½ versts from art. Kuntsevo, the carpet and weaving factory “Partnerships of the Spaso-Setunsky manufactory of carpet products” by Ivan Peshkov (now Kuntsevsky woodworking plant, 9 Gzhatskaya St. and 14 Vereyskaya St. ) was built.

In 1886 ^[26] on the left bank of the river, opposite the village of Spas Setun, a factory for the production of ultramarine paint K. Freind and N. Deschamps was founded, then sold to the British citizen Frank Reddaway, who opened a factory of belts, tarpaulins, oilcloths and waterproof fabrics , and after the revolution the factory named after them. Nogina. (Now - the Iskozh factory). In 1908, 300 people worked here, in 1916 - 570 people. ^[27] . This factory was called Nogin Street (now Vitebsk Street ).

In 1898, on the same shore, downstream, the construction of the factory of the Joint-Stock Company of the Moscow Sherst-weaving Manufactory Sofia Sakse began ^[28] . Within 2 years, a 4-storey weaving and 2-storey dyeing buildings, a one-storey boiler room and an engine room ( 12 Petra Alekseeva St. , building 1), a 3-storey brick barracks for workers and a residential building for employees (st. Petra Alekseeva, 3), a wooden hospital, a maternity ward and an outpatient clinic ^[29] . The new production, officially put into operation on September 18, 1900 , provided for the use of the labor of 600 workers who lived in a dormitory building at the factory. A technical innovation was the use of a 150 horsepower steam engine, which propelled 254 weaving machines through the transmission to produce lightweight woolen fabrics. In order to protect the environment, the waste water of the dyeing department was discharged into a pond, and then, through a well with a coke filter, it was discharged into the Setun River ^[28] . The factory produced and dyed woolen and half-woolen products. In 1914, 908 people worked here, of which 678 workers ^[30] . After the October Revolution , the Sakse factory was renamed the Kuntsevo Weaving and Finishing Factory, then into the Kuntsevo worsted factory No. 14 ^[31] , and from July 31, 1970 became the parent company of the October Industrial worsted association .

In 1911 ^{[32] the} Russian-Belgian Association of Cartridge Plants built in Kuntsevo (on the right bank of Setuni, opposite the Saks factory) a small factory producing pistons and capsules for rifles. In 1916, 200 workers worked here ^[27] . In 1963, it was renamed the Kuntsevsky Mechanical Plant (KMZ) ^[32] , and in 1971 the Moscow Radio Engineering Plant (MRTZ), known for the production of television sets of the Yunost brand ^[32] .

On the right side of Setun, upstream (opposite the F. Reddawey factory) , another paper and wool-weaving factory of the N. S. Smirnova and Co. ”. (In 1916 - 75 workers ^[27] ). In 1908, a needle factory was established in several of its buildings (after the revolution, the KIM needle and platinum factory, then Mostochlegmash). Next to it was the cloth-weaving factory of the Prussian national Nikolai Schulz, later - the factory of L. Ya. Ginsburg. (In 1916 - 157 workers ^[27] ).

In 1915, a tannery was founded (after the revolution - “named after Seryogin”).

After the Revolution

In 1917, after the administrative-territorial reform, Kuntsevo became the center of the newly formed Kuntsevo (and from October 1918 - Kozlovskaya) volost, which included the territories of the former Khoroshevskaya and Trinity-Golenishchevsky volosts ^[33] . In December 1917, the Land Decree began to be implemented in the Kuntsevo volost: land committees confiscated landowners N. G. Soldatenkova, E. I. Smirnova, E. F. Shelaputina, I. G. Guryev, Russian-Baltic Car Repair Plant. After the adoption of the Decree on Land Socialization on February 19, 1918, other major land holdings were confiscated: M.F. Martynov (23 dessiatins of forest land), Anina (39 dessiatines of arable land), Gromova (17 dessiatins of forest land), Filippova, Khilkova and others. In total, 24 properties were seized in the village of Kuntsevo, and 72 plots in the Kozlovsky volost as a whole. At the same time, the land of the joint-stock companies Saks, Raddavey, and the Russian-Belgian cartridge plant was described ^[34] . Most enterprises either completely stopped working, or reduced production tenfold; others were abandoned, their property looted ^[35] . So, at the former S. Saks factory in 1920, out of 678, 284 workers remained who produced 1.129 meters of fabric per day, compared to 7.979 meters in 1913 ^[30] . Only the needle-platinum factory, on which the Latvians evacuated from Riga settled in 1914, was saved by them from plunder and continued to work in full force ^[36] .

The confiscated lands were redistributed by the county Council between the landless and low-land peasants according to the leveling and labor principle under arable land, vegetable gardens, mowing lands. In the former country and factory sites began to grow potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables. However, in the conditions of the civil war, many peasants were not able to cultivate their plots, abandoned them or illegally rented them out. In the early 1920s, in the Kozlovsky volost, the eater accounted for 0, 34 dess. land - 3 times less than in the Moscow province as a whole (0, 99 dessiatines). Thus, despite the nationalization of the land, the problem of low land was not solved ^[34] .

Lands in the area of ​​Old Kuntsev, Rublevskoye Shosse , Smirnovsky and Soldatenkovsky parks were at the disposal of the department of the Central Committee of the RCP (b) . Responsible workers and members of their families settled here, rested Lenin , Sverdlov , Tsyurup , Ryazanov and others ^[34] . In 1918–1920 V.I. Lenin came to Kuntsevsky volost executive committee several times (the former dacha of the banker Juncker; Zagorsky passage , 23) and delivered speeches to the workers ^[37] .

In 1920, in Kuntsevo there were 258 households, 570 apartments and 3270 residents. In 1923, 367 households, 610 apartments, and 4,032 residents; in 1926 - 607 possessions, 1388 apartments and 8733 inhabitants. ^[38] .

Kuntsevo City

By the Decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on August 17, 1925, the village of Kuntsevo (area 307 ha) with Bolshoi Setunyu (area 15 ha) received the status of a city ^[39] . An Illustrated Guide to the Outskirts of Moscow in 1926 reported that 650 dachas are located in Kuntsevo, of which 216 are municipalized and 434 belong to private individuals ^[40] . In 1927, 9205 people already lived in the city. (of which 56% were workers, 41% were employees, and 3% were others). There were 840 cottages (240 municipalized and 600 privately owned). At the same time, 70% of the plots belonged to visitors from Moscow and 30% to the local population. There were running water, 15 wells and electricity ^[41] . In 1927, the palace of culture "Testament of Ilyich" was built ( Mozhaisk highway , 13). In the same year, a regular bus began to go via Kuntsevo from the Setun railway platform to Moscow along the Mozhayskoye highway ^[42] . Near the railway station Kuntsevo was located the city market.

The extraordinary population growth in conditions of cramped housing (4.7 square meters per person), high demand for construction and the lack of free space for development (300-400 new sites were required annually) prompted the City Council in 1927 to ask for the expansion of city borders due to adjacent territories. Initially, the City Council expected to expand its borders to 1000 hectares. However, after numerous complaints from residents of neighboring villages who did not want to give up their fields and forests for development, he had to refuse to join the village. Malaya Setun, lands of the village of Krylatsky, Smirnovsky Park, the village of Kuntsevo and der. Davydkovo. By a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of December 17, 1928, the following were attached to the city: A). 1. The All-Khothotsoyuz Piston Plant, 2. The Kuntsevsky Factory of the Worsted Trust (formerly S. Saks), 3. Faculty of them. t. Nogina Trust Technotkan (formerly F. Raddavey), 4. Needle club Akts. Cardo-tape companies, 5. Former ex. Ginzburg, 6. Formerly. Tannery. (The total area of ​​142 hectares); B) Seven plots of land of State land property pl. 120 ha; AT). Five plots of labor land: branched plots of Korshunov (23 hectares), Blagov (3 hectares), Orlovs and Krivorotovs (12 hectares), Savina and Petrova (11 hectares), the village of the village-household. Artels "Joy" (11 ha). A total of 324 ha. The total area of ​​the city after the accession of new territories amounted to 646 hectares ^[41] .

By the mid-20s, the restoration of abandoned factories was completed, the level of production reached the pre-war level. Growth has begun. 1195 workers were already working at the wool-weaving factory in 1927, in 1729 - 1750. A new production building was built ( Petra Alekseeva St. , 12, p. 2), 7 new residential buildings were built. A cooperative village of one- and 2-story houses grew nearby. Housing in the factory reached 7.37 square meters. m. per adult person ^[30] . At the factory to them. Nogin in 1930 already worked 1713 workers and 160 employees ^[43] . On the basis of the Needle Factory in 1927, the Mostochlegmash factory was created, producing needles and platinum for the knitting industry. At a revolutionary pace, new buildings were built. In 1931, 474 people worked here. ^[43] , in 1933 already 1420 ^[44] , in 1933 - approx. 3000 people ^[45] . The piston factory was restored. In the 1920s, he began to produce cartridges for hunting rifles. And in 1932, the factory "Red Equipment" was transferred to the People's Commissariat of Defense, reconstructed, expanded and began the mass production of live ammunition for the army ^[46] .

Several new enterprises arose: 1. The Kuntsevsky Pishchevik Industrial Cooperative Partnership (in 1927); 2. Industrial cooperative partnership “Rezinosvyaz” producing clothes and shoes (1929); 3. Cooperative industrial artel "Kuntsevsky shoe-maker" (1932); 4. Kuntsevsky quarry, engaged in the extraction of minerals ^[44] .

By the end of the 1930s , Kuntsevo was a small town near Moscow, surrounded on all sides by villages and villages (Kuntsevo, Mazilovo , Davydkovo , Skolkovo , Krylatskoye , Volynskoye , Troekurovo , Matveevskoye , Aminievo ), had a developed production (factories and factories) and social ( hospitals, kindergartens, schools, clubs, city park) infrastructure.

Since 1929, the city ​​of Kuntsevo became the district center of the Moscow region . Накануне Великой Отечественной войны в состав Кунцевского района Московской области входили Внуково , Переделкино , Тёплый Стан , Тропарёво , Никулино , Очаково , Одинцово и Барвиха .

В 1937—1938 годах по району прокатилась волна политических репрессий, организованных Кунцевским районным отделом НКВД в рамках большого террора . В здании райотдела НКВД (располагавшемся в деревянном доме № 5 по проезду Загорского) было арестовано по сфабрикованным делам и осуждено по 58-й статье около 1000 «врагов народа» (документально подтверждено 560), более 300 человек были приговорены к расстрелу ^[47] .

Осенью 1941 года, когда возникла угроза захвата немецкой армией Москвы , кунцевские предприятия были эвакуированы на восток. На восточной окраине города построен оборонительный рубеж . В Кунцевском районе сформированы два батальона народного ополчения (вошедшие в состав 21-й Киевской дивизии народного ополчения), воевавшие под Каширой, Тулой, Алексиным, затем на Орловско-Курской дуге, в боях за Чернигов, Холм, Люблин, Варшаву и Берлин. Уже в 1942 году некоторые предприятия стали возвращаться в Кунцево. Тогда же был создан институт НИЭМИ , занимавшийся разработкой систем наведения огня и радиолокационных систем ^[48] .

На западной окраине города, рядом с современной платформой Рабочий посёлок был организован лагерь немецких военнопленных, которые построили здесь новый квартал жилых домов, среди жителей получивший название Страна Лимония ^[49] .

В 1950-е к северу от города строится посёлок Загородной больницы .

В 1952 году город Кунцево был отнесён к категории городов областного подчинения ^{[50] [51]} .

В составе Москвы

По указу Верховного Совета СССР «О расширении границ Москвы» в августе 1960 года город Кунцево вместе с окружающими его деревнями и территориями был включён в состав Киевского района Москвы . А в 1969 году был образован отдельный Кунцевский район . В 1965 году на Филёвской линии метро открыта станция « Кунцевская ».

После включения в состав Москвы эта территория стала районом массовой жилищной застройки. Проект планировки и застройки Кунцева разработан под руководством архитектора В. Г. Гельфрейха (архитекторы М. В. Адрианов, А. В. Афанасьев, В. П. Соколов, М. А. Чесаков и др.) ^[52] .

К середине 1970-х гг. большая часть дачной застройки бывшего города была ликвидирована. До сих пор сохранились лишь дачи по Тюльпанной улице и улице Козлова , а также по два деревянных дома на улице Петра Алексеева и Проезде Загорского . C 1991 года территория бывшего города Кунцево поделена между муниципальными округами Фили-Давыдково , Кунцево и Можайский (Южное Кунцево) , с 1995 года получившими статус районов.
