Manor of Cheremushka-Znamenskoye

In ancient times here, in the southern suburb of Moscow, there was a deep and completely covered with thickets of cherry ravine, fragrant in early spring throughout the valley and surroundings of the Beketovka river. According to legend, this area once belonged to Boris Godunov. From reliable sources it is known that in 1630 "in the Moscow district from empty bypass lands, the Cheremyshka wasteland on the sides of the Cheremysh ravine ..." The scribes measured and described and sold half-desert Afonasius Pronicheshchev, and deacon Venedikt Makhov. Soon, on the half of Venedikt Makhov, a patrimonial courtyard and the village of Cheremoshye appeared in several peasant households, and "in common with Afonasii Pronicheschev" (the documents contain two variants of writing this name) on the river Beketovka, the deacon Venedikt Makhov arranged a system of ponds. The area began to change, and a century later there was an original and representative noble manor.

From the estate comes the name of the district Cheremushki. Modern address: Big Cheremushkinskaya Street, houses No. 25 and No. 28.
