Ostozhenka – Moscow’s Golden Mile

We will walk along the street Ostozhenka and look into interesting alleys. Pay attention to the amazing contrasts of this area. Let’s try to imagine the temporary path that Ostozhenka passed from the backwater to the prestigious area.

We'll see.

• a corner of noble Moscow with ancient estates,
• A wonderful Old Believer temple,
• The famous former imperial lyceum.

We will.

• Where wealthy gentlemen and ladies loved to "chase a loafer,"
• Where any well-dressed person could come for free,
• When the first women's monastery appeared in Moscow.

We will recall one famous work from the school curriculum, which is directly related to this street, and also look at modern elite housing, thanks to which Ostozhenka has now received the name of the “golden mile”.
