The word “baltschug” is of Turkic origin: balchik is “mud, swamp, quagmire, moist earth, clay”. [2] Baltschug Street in Moscow is located in the area of the ancient Moscow tract Bolot . This part of the floodplain , the low bank of the Moscow River in the old days, was a damp, wet place - a real swamp , which was associated with both the low level of the shore and frequent floods after heavy rains and spring floods (only in 1786 in Moscow was created from the river elders The drainage channel , which led to the drainage of the area).
History
