Kotelnicheskaya Embankment

Named at the beginning of the XX century. in the former Kotelnicheskaya Sloboda . On the opposite bank is the Kosmodamianskaya Embankment .

In the 70s of the XIX century, a stone embankment was built (reconstructed in the 1930s). In 1948 - 1952, a residential high-rise building was built at the mouth of Yauza (d. 1/15). The steep slope along the promenade is built up with multi-storey residential buildings. In the early 1950s, masts of high-voltage transmissions were removed from the embankment (they were installed in the 1920s).

• No. 1/15 - Residential building on Kotelnicheskaya Naberezhnaya , “ Stalin's skyscraper ”, closing the perspective from the Kremlin to the mouth of the Yauza River (project authors - D. N. Chechulin , A. K. Rostkovsky, engineer L. M. Gokhman). To make way for construction, four lanes were completely demolished: Bolshoi and Malyi Podgorny, Kurnosov and Sveshnikov. The Stary, a 9-story residential building overlooking the Moskva River, was designed in 1938 and completed in 1940. The central volume of 176 meters high was built in 1948-1952. It has 26 floors (along with technical - 32).

The residents of the house became extremely wealthy and famous, including: actresses Faina Ranevskaya , Klara Luchko , Lidia Smirnova , Nonna Mordyukova , poet Alexander Twardovsky , ballerina Galina Ulanova , trainer Irina Bugrimova , composer Nikita Bogoslovsky and others ^[1] . In June 2019, on the 90th birthday of Lyudmila Zikina , who lived in the house, a bas-relief depicting the singer was installed on its facade ^[2] .

In the building there are 700 apartments, shops, a post office, a movie theater " Illusion ", a museum-apartment of G. S. Ulanova . Public premises, such as the vegetable (from Podgornaya embankment) and the confectionery (the end of the building from Verkhnyaya Radishchevskaya ) shops, which existed before the early 2000s, were distinguished by their interiors: the walls and ceilings were richly decorated with lush paintings with images of flower garlands and all kinds of gifts of nature. Entrance halls and elevator halls of residential entrances are also decorated with bas-reliefs, stucco moldings and murals.

With the construction of a new complex in the neighborhood (No. 21), the “house on Kotelnicheskaya” actually lost its significance as an architectural dominant on the side of the Big Krasnokholmsky Bridge .

• No. 17 - the building of the almshouse ( 1887 , architect A. S. Kaminsky ).
• No. 21, 25 - residential buildings of the 1920s in the spirit of constructivism ^[3] . Since 2014, the developer “Russian Monolith” has been conducting large-scale construction of a residential complex at site No. 21.
• No. 25/8 - residential building (1938-1940, architect I. I. Loveyko ) ^[3]
