Solntsevo (city)

Village of Sukovo

In this place near Moscow from the XVII century the village of Sukovo was known. According to written letters of the XVII century, the village belonged to the princes Trubetskoy . In the XVIII century, the lands were donated by Catherine II to Orlov and Rumyantsev. Later they again moved to the sovereign lands, but retained in their names references to their previous owners, these are the villages of Orlovo and Rumyantsevo.

In the XIX century, a mile away from the village was the Bryansk railway, on which the railway station Sukovo subsequently opened. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village and its surroundings became popular summer cottages. In the years preceding the October Revolution, and after it, the village served as a favorite vacation spot for Muscovites.

Solntsevo Village

In connection with the reconstruction of Moscow in 1937, near the village of Sukovo, a large spacious area was allocated for development for the resettlement of Moscow workers. The first house, on a hill near the pond, was built by Yakov Fedorovich Turkov. The village grew rapidly, and by 1938 already 300 houses were built, where 2.5 thousand people lived. And on September 26, 1938, the new name of the dacha village, Solntsevo, was officially registered.

In the postwar years, the village has grown significantly and improved. The village began to form as a housing estate of Moscow builders. In 1948-1953, the Ostrovstroy trust (now Glavmosstroy ) built 148 one- and two-story frame-and-fill residential buildings for Moscow construction workers. That is why one of the streets of the district is called Glavmosstroy street. In 1959, the Sevvodstroy trust (now Glavmosinzhstroy) built 33 four- and five-story houses in the village for 7,000 construction workers at the Western Waterworks. By 1959, 13.8 thousand inhabitants were already living in Solntsevo. In 1963, the construction of the 1st, and in 1965 , of the 2nd microdistrict, began with residential multi-storey houses for workers of Glavmosstroy . In March 1965, the Sukovo station was renamed by the name of the village to Solnechnaya . At the same time as residential buildings, cultural and residential buildings and institutions were built. The village acquired urban features. A large amount of work on its improvement was completed by 1967 (the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution). Then Mostelefonstroy began building the 3rd microdistrict.

City of Solntsevo

In April 1969, Solntsevo was categorized as urban-type settlement with a population of more than 40 thousand inhabitants, and on February 23, 1971, the village of Solntsevo was transformed into a city of regional subordination. By its fifth anniversary, the city has unrecognizably changed. In place of former wastelands and ravines, demolished barracks and dilapidated buildings, multi-storey, modern buildings, domestic and cultural institutions grew. The housing stock of the city by the end of 1975 amounted to over 500 thousand square meters. m., and the population grew to 50.2 thousand people. For success in beautification in 1976, the city ​​was recognized as the best in the suburbs, he was awarded the red banner of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR and the AUCCTU.

Solntsevsky district

In 1983, the city ​​of Solntsevo was transferred to the subordination of the Moscow City Executive Committee . May 10, 1984 on the map of Moscow appeared Solntsevsky district . The new Moscow region, located entirely outside the Moscow Ring Road , includes the territories of the workers' villages Meshchersky, Zapadny, the cottage villages of Peredelkino and Choboty , the villages of Zdorovye Otdykh, Lazenki and Lukino, the villages of Orlovo, Sukovo, Tereshkovo and Fedosino and the city of Solntsevo ^[1] . Due to the intensive construction of modern residential buildings, the area has grown significantly. By 1990, the population of the Solntsevo district increased from 91 thousand to 160 thousand people.

On September 12, 1991, according to the order of the Moscow Mayor No. 146-PM “On Establishing the Temporary Borders of Moscow Municipal Districts,” the Solntsevsky District became part of the Western Administrative District of Moscow and was divided into three municipal districts: Solntsevo , Novo-Peredelkino and Vnukovo ^[2] .

In the XIV century, the name of the village of Sukovo appears on the map for the first time. In the distant past, when there was no settlement at all, there was a tract called Suki. A bitch is a plot in the forest prepared for arable land.

When Sukovo became a place of active summer cottage construction, the inhabitants of the new village wanted to give it a more harmonious name. Various proposals were discussed, until in the hot August days of 1938 they agreed on the same name - Solntsevo. This point of view is shared by most local historians. Although there are two more versions why the village was named Solntsevo. One of them is associated with the name of the architect F. G. Solntsev, who was invited to participate in the construction of the Lukino estate, the other - with the Italians Solari, whose last name means “solar”, who settled in Salaryevo. The suburban village of Solntsevo was officially registered on September 26, 1938. However, the toponym Sukovo remained until April 1965 in the name of the railway station.

In the modern (1990s - 2010s) popular semiotics, the toponym "Solntsevo" is stably associated with the concept of "Solntsevo", or " Solntsevo organized crime group ". With the change of generations, this association begins to gradually come out of speech use.
