Raushskaya embankment

It got its modern name in the 1st half of the 19th century according to the rovings located in this area from the 15th century - ditches that diverted water from the floodplain lands of Zamoskvorechye (filled up in 1835). There was also a form of Roush embankment ^[1] .

The origin of the former name - Zayaitskaya embankment - is unclear. Likely versions of the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Zayaitsky, known since the 16th century, ^[1] from trading guests who came “because of Yaik ” (from Central Asia), or from Yaik Cossacks who settled here in the Time of Troubles (see [1] ) Changing the names of Zamoskvoretsky embankments in the 1870s. associated with the construction of new bridges on the Moscow River, including the first built Ustinsky bridge.

In 1495, the sovereign garden was founded opposite the Kremlin . His workers settled in the settlements of Upper Gardeners ( Bersenevskaya Embankment ), Middle ( Sofiyskaya Embankment ) and Lower Gardeners (east of Baltschug). To the east of Baltschug, a canal was dug between the Moskva River and the old man, which was preserved during the construction of the Drainage Canal in the 1780s . and finally bombarded in 1876 .

At the end of the XIX century, the Raushskaya embankment was industrialized. In 1896, the power plant operating to this day (architect N.P. Basin ) was built on the embankment, later rebuilt by I.V. Zholtovsky and V.E. Dubovsky . Here today is the head office of Mosenergo .

Modern Raushskaya embankment is an “uninhabited island”: in the district there are only two residential buildings that stand apart, along Sadovnicheskaya Street. At the end of the embankment, near Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge in 1928, a large residential building (No. 32) was built according to the project of architect B.V. Efimovich , but in the post-war years it fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1989; fenced area between the bridge and the church of St. Nikola Zayaitsky is still empty.
