The area is located on the left bank of the Yauza River , it is a high (up to 145 meters from sea level) floodplain terrace with steep slopes, rugged ravines. On the north side, the Vvedensky mountains are bounded by the valley of the Hapilovka River , at the confluence of which the village of Semenovskoye was located in Yauza, which was included in Moscow in 1864. In the south, the Sinichka River (Lefortovsky Stream) flowed, at the confluence of which the village of Vvedenskoye was located in Yauza. The foundation of Vvedensky is associated with the construction on the hills in 1643, by decree of Tsarina Evdokia Lukyanovna, of the wooden church of the Introduction of the Virgin to the Temple, which gave the name to the village itself and the elevated area on which the church was located. At the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries, the village of Vvedenskoye merged with neighboring Semenovsky, taking the name of the latter; the former name was referred to as “Semenovskaya Sloboda, Vvedenskoe identity” for some time. After some time, the church burned down and was restored already in a new place [1] [2] .
At the end of the 18th century, a state brick factory was placed on the Vvedensky mountains; the rest of the territory on both sides of Sinichka in the 18th century was called “uninhabited pasture land” - part of it was cultivated by peasants, the other was empty [2] . In 1771, the German (now Vvedenskoe ) cemetery was founded on the right bank of Sinichka. In 1798, the area of the necropolis was increased, as a result of which the size of the territory of the Vvedensky cemetery approached modern [2] .
In the XIX century, the area merged with Lefortov, on which the mountains were sometimes called Lefortov Hill [1] . At the turn of the XIX — XX centuries, the elevated part of the area was planned and several streets and lanes were laid along it [3] . The Sinichka River is now completely enclosed in the reservoir.
