Street Radio (Moscow)

It was named December 13, 1929 at the first broadcasting station in the USSR - the Comintern Radio Station , which opened broadcasting in 1922 and was located nearby in Elizavetinsky Lane. Previously, it was called Voznesenskaya Street, along the Ascension Temple on the Gorokhovaya Field ^[1] .

The toponym Gorokhovo Field has been known since 1718. In the XVII century a German settlement flourished here, and from 1718 Chancellor G.I. Golovkin settled. Shortly before his death, Golovkin consecrated the stone Ascension Church at his home; later it was the home church of A. G. Razumovsky , and in 1773 it became a parish. The existing Ascension Church, a rare example of early Moscow classicism , was built in 1788 - 1793 by MF Kazakov . The temple was closed in 1935 - 1993 .

In 1918 - 1932 , the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute occupied the quarter between Radio Street, Bolshoi Demidovsky and Novokirochny Lanes. The first wind tunnel in Moscow operated at TsAGI. Separated in 1932 from TsAGI into a separate organization, the laboratory of aviation materials grew into the All-Russian Institute of Aviation Materials (VIAM). After the expansion of TsAGI and the emergence of units in the city of Zhukovsky, two institutes are simultaneously located on this territory: the All-Russian Institute of Aviation Materials and the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute ; Today, one of the TsAGI buildings on the corner of Baumanskaya Street was handed over to the I.E. Grabar Restoration Center, in which a major fire occurred on July 15, 2010 . Employees of the Russian New University of RosNOU managed to capture the fire ^[2] .

The numbering of the even side of Radio Street is confused by the fact that the houses along the nameless driveway that continues to Baumanskaya Street to the south, along the former Tupolev buildings (former Saltykovskaya Street) are also assigned to Radio Street (nos. 14 and 17). This unimportant two-story building of the 19th century is “being reconstructed” in our time.
