The village of artists Sokol

Walking dynamic walk through the quarter of cottage houses in the North-West of Moscow (between Alabyan Street and Volokolamsk Highway).
2.5 - 3 km

The garden city or Sokol village was created by enthusiastic people of different professions. They were and are not only artists who dare to express many different things.

One of the first housing and construction cooperatives in the USSR, Sokol is a flowering and coziness-warming district of Moscow. The ideas of Sokol architects, artists and shareholders are as relevant today as they were 102 years ago.

As in 1923, the village is self-governing and renewed thanks to the special spirit and deeds of the people living in the area. Its space is also a city-book about how interesting and exciting it is to transform a house, a street, a neighborhood for the sake of preserving the eternal values of home family life and the life of the human community.

PS: We talk about what is known from communication with residents of the village and from archival documents.

Walking tour.

If possible, 30 - 45 minutes - a leisurely friendly conversation with the developers of the Sokol cooperative over a cup of tea / coffee / chicory with light treats (without alcohol).

The whole story is within the volume of the voice. I don't use the loudspeaker.
