On July 5, residents of Kuzminki will receive their own art beach - the installation “Sea of ​​a Residential Area” by Marina Zvyagintseva.

Kuzminki Park and State Center of Contemporary Art (NCCA) present the first art beach in a Moscow residential area. The curators of the project destroy the stereotype that you need to go somewhere far to relax and show that in the metropolis we have our own sea right under our feet - water tamed by man and hidden in the city underground communications.

The goal of the art project is to attract the attention of a city dweller to what he lives next to: objects of a person’s intimate space - baths and beds - are transferred to the open sky and turn out to be a symbol of a person’s exit from a separate space into a zone of public communication.

The installation is filled with sea symbols and consists of several parts: the symbol of the sleeping area - the bed - sprouts pipes in which our “secret” sea lives.

Fountain Housing and Communal Services reminds us of the disappearance of water, which is turned off in the summer. It is made up of five bathtubs connected to each other, standing on the ground in a circle: thin pipes with shower heads on which the silicone has hardened “with jets of water” are attached to the central rack.

The “pool”, filled with dry and lifeless sand, recalls the strict laws of existence of a modern urban creature.

The Kuzminki estate is one of the oldest estates in Moscow. It is located at the metro station of the same name, so getting to Kuzminki is very easy. You can also get here from other stations: Volzhskaya, Ryazansky Prospekt, and if you wish, you can also get there from Lyublino and Tekstilshchikov. Whoever is comfortable, in general.

From metro station From Kuzminki it’s a ten minute walk to the park. The entrance to the park will be marked by an arched sign with the inscription “ Vlakhernskoye-Kuzminki Estate" The English landscape park, designed by the architect D. Gilardi in 1811-1820, spreads over a large area. As far as I know, this is the largest estate area in Moscow.

At one time, the owners of Kuzminki were two famous noble families: the Stroganovs and the Golitsyns. In 1702, Peter I granted these lands to Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov for good service. This was a sign of high regard for him on the part of the king.

But Grigory Dmitrievich practically did not use the received territories in any way. The construction of the estate complex in Kuzminki began only under his children. For the most part, this was done by Alexander Grigorievich Stroganov, who later became the sole full owner of the estate.

Under A.G. The Church of the Blachernae Icon of the Mother of God is being built in Stroganov. This icon was a former shrine of the Stroganov family, so the church was consecrated in its honor. After the church, the estate received a new name - the village of Vlahernskoe. A manor house and other outbuildings are being built near the church. All of them were originally made of wood.

Alexander Stroganov's daughter Anna, who inherited Kuzminki after his death, married Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Golitsyn in 1757. Anna Alexandrovna became the last owner of Kuzminki from the Stroganov family and the first from the Golitsyn family. MM. Golitsyn received as a dowry from his wife, in addition to the estate, salt pans, iron foundries in the Urals, ancient documents and many others.

At Mikhail Mikhailovich's foundries they created real masterpieces of iron casting to decorate Kuzminki. The estate has turned into a real museum under open air. All wooden buildings were rebuilt and made of stone. Most of them have survived to this day.

At one time, the village of Vlahernskoe was put on a par with Peterhof and Versailles in Paris.

Horse yard

Now, what we saw in Kuzminki are the remnants of former luxury. Of all the buildings, only the church and the Horse Yard are functioning. It was recently restored, as well as two grottoes on the other side of the pond. Grottoes were a good shelter from the summer heat and heat. In the Great Grotto, which has only one entrance, theatrical performances were staged under the prince. There was no theater of its own here, as in, so a grotto was adapted for these purposes.

The horse yard is open to visitors, but we decided not to go there. Having asked the cashier selling tickets: “What is there?”, we received a vague answer: “Well, this is a horse yard!” said the cashier, pouting her lips displeasedly. After which it became clear that there was nothing interesting there. Although maybe I'm wrong. If anyone was there, write. It will be interesting to read.

Grotto

What was surprising in Kuzminki was that from the entrance to the park to the estate itself it takes about 20 minutes to walk, which is quite a long time when compared to other estates we have been to. The maps of the park in some places are not entirely clear. Only when you find yourself near the Horse Yard do you begin to understand where you are and where everything is.

IN Kuzminki park There are several ponds, but swimming in them, as in most reservoirs in Moscow, is prohibited. A cafe ship cruises along the pond near the Horse Yard, on which you can leisurely explore the park, sitting at a table and drinking cold beer and lemonade (whatever you like best).

There are several cafes in the park, mainly near the Mill outbuilding on the dam. Ice cream, kvass, beer, various souvenirs and trinkets are sold here. Not far from the entrance to the park, from the station. m. Kuzminki there is an amusement park and a go-karting area. But we didn’t see the karts themselves. Therefore, it is not clear whether there are races there or not.

As I already said, of the entire complex of buildings of the Kuzminki estate, only the Church of the Blachernae Mother of God, the Horse Yard and the Mill Wing have been restored. Plus, there is a honey museum. Unfortunately, I don’t know what was in the museum building before. The remaining buildings require restoration. These include the Lord's House, the Pomerantsevaya Greenhouse, and the kitchen building. We reached the Animal Farm, which also needs renovation. On the way to it, we saw another building without a sign with a description, which you wouldn’t immediately notice among the trees. Because of the trees surrounding it, we couldn’t even take a photo of the master’s house.

Therefore, having decided to go to Kuzminki, do not expect to see luxurious palace buildings here, as in, or in. This is not the case here. People come to Kuzminki to relax, sunbathe on the banks of the ponds, ride bicycles and roller skates. We met a lot of people on bicycles. Perhaps there is a rental somewhere in the park. Kuzminki are extremely popular among city residents of any age category. People here have picnics, barbecue, and play volleyball. And just sitting in a cafe on the shore of a pond, in my opinion, is a great way to spend time. Concerts are sometimes held near the Horse Yard. We just happened upon this one. The songs they sang there were not modern, so we were not particularly interested. Besides, we were already about to leave. But all the seats near the stage, which served as a small terrace near the sculptures, were occupied.

One more fact regarding the estate in Kuzminki, which simply cannot be ignored. Literally a week after visiting the park, the famous program “Battle of Psychics” was shown on TV. One of the tasks took place in the Lord's house of the Kuzminki estate. It turned out that ghosts live there, ghosts that the guards often hear. And some were even captured on camera. They look like round white phantoms. So, not everything is calm in the Kingdom of Denmark...

A walk through Kuzminki Park left me feeling dissatisfied. Yes, we walked around the park, sunbathed, and relaxed. But the fact that the estate turned out to be non-working upset us. I read somewhere on the Internet that in 2010 several more buildings in the complex should be restored. I hope that among them will be the main palace - the Lord's House. After its restoration, you will definitely need to go to Kuzminki again.

Lilies are blooming there."

The Department of Environmental Management has hit rock bottom. This time the bottom of the pool.
Officials decided to build pontoon pools with beach complexes in a landscaped pond of the 18th century, located on a specially protected natural area"Kuzminki-Lublino".

Work on the Upper Kuzminsky Pond has already begun. They are underway without examinations and without a project. The same fate awaits Shibaevsky Pond in Kuzminsky Park, PIP "Moskvoretsky" and Lake Chernoe in Zelenograd.

The scale of the structures is still difficult to understand, but judging by the information board, these beach complexes are quite large - look at the number of sun loungers around the perimeter of the proposed pools. But the pond is quite small.

View from extreme point Upper Kuzminsky Pond.

Questions immediately arise: where will the water come from, how will it be disinfected, where will it flow? And how is all this compatible with the status of the protected area and the object? cultural heritage? And how will such structures, as well as the sharply increased recreational load, affect the condition of the pond and its inhabitants.

Behind last years the pond is very overgrown. Ponomarka feeding him. The Red Book black alder forest bends in the upper reaches. Last fall, a recreation area without swimming was built on the shore of the Upper Pond with imported quartz sand, since the condition of the water does not allow swimming in the ponds of Kuzminsky Park.

This is what the Upper Kuzminsky Pond looked like before construction.

Water lilies, egg capsules, water irises and other beautiful plants grew there, and mallards nested.

A pontoon beach with a swimming pool in the Severnoye Tushino park looks like this, and the entrance fee is 1000 rubles.

What can we do for our pond? At a minimum, officially express your opinion about what is happening.

Text to send:

“I learned that the construction of beach complexes with pontoon pools has begun in the Upper Kuzminsky Pond of the Kuzminki-Lublino PIP. The customer of the work is the Department of Natural Resources. According to the State Procurement website (Purchase No. 0373200003116000191), the competition for the design of these pools has not yet been completed, therefore, it is possible to conclude that work on the installation of beach complexes is being carried out without a project and the corresponding examinations and permits.Similar objects are also planned to be placed in the Shibaevsky pond (purchase No. 0373200003116000168).
The Kuzminki-Lublino natural-historical park is an object of natural and cultural heritage. Such objects grossly distort the historical landscape and can cause irreparable harm to the pond ecosystem.
I request you to check the above facts.
I also ask you to inform me whether all the necessary examinations have been carried out, whether approvals have been received from the relevant departments and whether the performing company has permits for these works.

In addition, I consider it extremely inappropriate to build such complexes in a natural and cultural heritage protection zone. I express my extreme indignation at the unprofessional activities of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection and demand that the initiator of this project be held accountable and dismissed from his position!”

Addressees:

The Kuzminki Culture and Recreation Park is part of the Kuzminsky Forest Park, the Moscow part of which belongs to the territory of the Kuzminki-Lublino natural-historical park.

In the spring of 2013, the territory of Kuzminki expanded significantly due to the annexation of lands near the Lyublinsky Pond, Sadovniki Park, Borisov Ponds, Pechatniki, 60th Anniversary of October and Arshinovsky parks.

It is worth noting that the reconstruction of the park began in 2014. During this time, many historical objects related to the Kuzminki estate were restored, and playgrounds were built for playing goads, chess, and sports. Currently, work is underway to build an entertainment complex on the site of the Vysota cinema (Yunikh Lenivtsev Street). The reconstruction is planned to be completed by the end of 2019.

The entire infrastructure of Kuzminki Park is aimed at attracting Moscow residents and city guests here not only for entertainment, but also for hobbies. Creative studios, master classes, themed children's clubs, sports grounds, dance clubs for the elderly - all this makes Kuzminki an attractive place for relaxation and leisure activities.

Kuzminki Park celebrated its birthday on May 20, 1977. On this day its grand opening took place. But the story of Kuzminki begins much earlier.

The origin of the name "Kuzminki" is not documented. There is only an assumption that once in this place on the Churilikha (or Goledyanka) river there was a mill, owned by a certain miller Kuzma. Perhaps the mill was called Kuzminskaya after the owner, and perhaps the church of Kosma and Domian stood nearby. In general, that's all. Then the history of the Kuzminki estate begins, which is located on the territory of the park and is a historical monument.
