Gogolevsky Boulevard
until 1924 - Prechistensky Boulevard

The boulevard has three levels - its passages and the boulevard itself located between them are located at different height levels. T

So, the internal passage, relative to the ring, is on the upper step, the boulevard itself is on the middle one, and the external passage is on the lower one.

This relief of the boulevard was formed due to the fact that the Chertory (Chertoroy) stream, which washed the outer slope of the White City rampart and actually flowed at the site of the outer passage of the boulevard, had banks of different heights.

Two scenes of the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” directed by Vladimir Menshov take place on Gogolevsky Boulevard. Here Katya Tikhomirova meets with Rudolf Rachkov. Twenty years later they meet in the same place.

In the depths of the courtyard, with the main facade facing the boulevard (between houses no. 11 and 15), there is house no. 10 on Nashchokinsky Lane, where scenes from the film “Pokrovsky Gates” unfold. At the beginning and end of the film, they show scenes of the demolition of this house, but it... is still standing, just added to the floor.

Basargin-"Luzga", the hero of Valery Priyomykhov, in the final scene of the film "Cold Summer of '53...", after a difficult, unpleasant conversation with the relatives of a deceased comrade, walks along the autumn boulevard into the distance...

The reconstructed Gogol Boulevard is described by Kir Bulychev in the Moscow of the future. On Gogolevsky Boulevard, forest forests coexist with heated roads. The specific flora and fauna are determined by the deployment here of young biologists who grow giant plants and breed hybrids of dissimilar animals (the so-called chimeras). You can even pick mushrooms on Gogolevsky Boulevard. This is a symbol of the fusion of nature and civilization, natural for highly developed cultures.

Gogolevsky Boulevard goes down the steps from Prechistensky Gate Square to. This is one of ten famous Moscow boulevards.

Gogolevsky Boulevard - origin of the name

The boulevard was renamed in 1924, during the celebration of the 115th anniversary of N.V. Gogol, famous Russian writer. Before that, it was called Prechistensky, like the square and street of the same name located in this area.

The name was associated with the Church of the Most Pure Mother of God of Smolensk, located on the territory.

History of Gogolevsky Boulevard in Moscow

Gogolevsky Boulevard began on a hill on the site of the current Prechistensky Gate Square.

From this place, the Chertory Stream previously flowed down a broken channel, the banks of which varied greatly in height.

This determined the topography of Gogolevsky Boulevard. The boulevard descends in three lines towards the Arbat Gate. The first and third are the internal and external passages, the second is the boulevard itself.

By 1780, they were dismantled, and representatives of the Moscow nobility and merchants began to illegally build on the vacant space.

These actions did not in any way suit the Moscow authorities, who intended to develop a green zone - boulevards - along the perimeter of the White City, which was reflected in the long-term city development plan of 1775.

Soon the illegal buildings were demolished and the boulevard began to be developed.

Stone bridges appeared here over the Chertory stream, which by the end of the nineteenth century was enclosed in a pipe, like many Moscow rivers.

Houses of the Moscow nobility began to be built on both sides of the boulevard alley.

Many buildings on the boulevard were damaged by the fire of 1812, but they were restored fairly quickly.

The history of this boulevard is interesting and multifaceted, and is witnessed by numerous monuments and architectural structures.

Gogolevsky Boulevard is also famous for the fact that A.S. once walked along its sidewalks. Pushkin, S.M. Tretyakov, P.I. Tchaikovsky, A.I. Herzen, Vasily Stalin and his family lived in one of the houses. Fyodor Chaliapin often came here to visit. N.V. burned his manuscripts in this place a few days before his death. Gogol.

In 1880, a horse-drawn railway was built on Gogolevsky Boulevard, which was replaced in 1911 by a tram line. For many years it was the only transport in the area.

At the confluence of the boulevard and the Prechistenskie Gate, a metro station was opened in 1935, which until 1957 bore the name “Palace of Soviets”.

Two episodes of the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” were filmed on Gogolevsky Boulevard. It is also mentioned in the book by Kir Bulychev with a fantastic plot “Ancient Secrets”.

In addition to its inextricable connection with great history and famous people, this is a rather picturesque place. In some of its green corners you can even pick mushrooms.

How Moscow streets were named

The boulevard bears the imprint of the proximity of the Ministry of Defense. This can be seen even in the drawing of the fence.

Previously, the boulevard began at the Church of the Holy Spirit. It was first mentioned in 1493. The stone building was built in 1699 and rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century. The church was demolished to build a metro station exit in 1933. And in 2017, during the improvement of the boulevard, the foundation of this church was found.

Gogolevsky Boulevard is three-level: the internal passage runs along the upper step, the boulevard itself - along the middle, and the external passage - along the lower one.

This relief was formed due to the fact that the Chertory stream flowed at the site of the outer passage of the boulevard and had banks of different heights. This makes Gogolevsky quite recognizable, and it is easy to determine that both scenes of Katya’s meeting with Rudolf in the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” were filmed Here. By the way, the bench that was included in the cinema still stands on the boulevard - right before the bend, beyond which the alley goes to the Arbat Gate Square.

Gogolevsky Boulevard in Moscow is one of the most beautiful and historically valuable places in the capital of Russia. This boulevard is part of the famous Boulevard Ring of Moscow, consisting of 10 boulevards. The squares, also included in the Boulevard Ring, whose names contain the word “gate”, are a kind of reminder of the defensive wall of the White City, on the site of which the Boulevard Ring was founded. It was the ideas of the architect V. Dolganov, successfully brought to life, that gave each boulevard of the Boulevard Ring of Moscow individuality. In 1978, the Boulevard Ring was declared a monument of landscape art.

Gogolevsky Boulevard starts from Prechistenskie Gate Square and reaches Arbat Gate Square. The Boulevard Ring of Moscow begins from Prechistenskie Gate Square and Gogolevsky Boulevard. From the side of the boulevard, the Kropotkinskaya metro station, named after Prince Pyotr Alekseevich Kropotkin, who was an ardent revolutionary, anarchist theorist, and famous scientist who devoted his life to the study of East Asia, opens onto Prechistenskie Gate Square.

The history of Gogolevsky Boulevard is very interesting. Until 1924, it was called Prechistensky because of the very carefully plastered wall of the White City, which then stood on the site of the boulevard. The city itself was located on the steep bank of the Chertoroi stream, which was later taken into an underground pipe. From Arbat Square to Kropotkinskaya Square you can take a trolleybus. It should also be noted that where Gogolevsky Boulevard and Sivtsev Vrazhek Lane intersect today, previously its tributary, the Sivets Stream, flowed into the Chertoroi stream. Chertoroy itself was distinguished by the fact that one bank of it was high, the other low. In the last century, many famous personalities liked to visit here: Gogol, Herzen, Turgenev.

The famous fire of 1812 did not spare Prechistensky Boulevard. Many buildings were destroyed, so the boulevard lost its original appearance, but it was soon almost completely restored. In 1880, a horse-drawn railway was built here, which passed through the entire Boulevard Ring. In 1911, tram "A" was put into operation on the site of this road, i.e. Annushka, which for a long time was the only mode of transport on the Boulevard Ring. The metro station on the boulevard opened in 1935. At that time it was called the Palace of Soviets and only in 1957 it began to be called Kropotkinskaya.

The boulevard received its current name in 1924 during the celebrations of the 125th anniversary of the famous Russian writer N.V. Gogol. If you compare Gogolevsky Boulevard with all the other boulevards in Moscow, it turns out that it ranks second in length. No less remarkable is the fact that Gogolevsky Boulevard has three stages, since its internal passage is on the top stage, the boulevard itself is on the middle stage, and the external passage is on the bottom. This relief of the boulevard was formed due to the fact that the Chertoroi stream had banks of unequal heights.

Gogolevsky Boulevard itself is fraught with many secrets, in particular regarding architecture. Each side of the boulevard has its own aesthetics, its own character, its own individuality. The ancient mansion No. 5, erected for State Councilor Sekretaryov, attracts the eye. Later, the house was occupied by the architect Ton, who supervised the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In the 40s of the 20th century, the family of Vasily Stalin lived in this house. House No. 23 is very remarkable; it attracts tourists with its stained glass blades located between the windows of the fifth floor. In summer, on a clear, sunny day, you can’t help but notice how close the color of the ceramic inserts is to the color of the sky. A little further away in one of the courtyards you can see the small church of Apostle Philip, built in the 17th century.

The even side of Gogolevsky Boulevard is famous for the fact that famous people either lived or stayed here in almost every house. Thus, A.S. often spent time in house No. 2. Pushkin, and house No. 6 was built specifically for the mayor S.M. Tretyakov, brother of the famous philanthropist P.M. Tretyakov. In 1929-1930, the House of Artists was erected here, the project of which was worked on by a group of architects, including I. Leonidov, V. Vladimirov, M. Barshch and others. A striking example of Moscow classicism is mansion No. 10 on Gogolevsky Boulevard. Initially, the famous Decembrist M. Naryshkin lived in it and was subsequently arrested. Today, walking along Gogol Boulevard, on this house you can see a marble plaque with the image of shackles intertwined with a laurel branch, which was installed in memory of the Decembrists who gathered here. Having walked a little further, we find ourselves near house No. 14, where the Central Chess Club is now located. And in the 19th century, this building was a kind of center of musical life in Moscow. Chaliapin, Rachmaninov, Glazunov visited the house.

The symbol of Gogolevsky Boulevard is the monument to N.V. Gogol, which has a long and controversial history.

Almost at the end of Gogolevsky Boulevard there is a monument to M. Sholokhov, the design of which was developed by the sculptor A. Rukavishnikov. The author’s main idea is not yet fully visible, since the monument is in the installation stage. Crossing the road from Gogolevsky Boulevard, we find ourselves in a quiet, peaceful place. Here stands the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, built as a kind of gratitude to the Lord God for his intercession in the fight against the Napoleonic invasion of 1812. If you walk along Gogolevsky Boulevard back to the Prechistensky Gate, then another surprise awaits you: approaching the arch at the entrance to the boulevard, you will be surprised to find that the sky begins right behind it.

Gogol Boulevard appears in both literature and cinema. It is described in the Moscow of the future by Kir Bulychev; it is here that two scenes of the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” directed by Vladimir Menshov take place. Gogolevsky Boulevard itself is a symbol of the fusion of nature and civilization, since roads run next to wooded areas where you can even pick mushrooms. We can say with confidence that tourists will be satisfied with a walk along Gogolevsky Boulevard, because the spirit of history reflected in ancient architecture is concentrated here to the maximum.

Our journey-walk will begin from the pavilion of the Kropotkinskaya metro station.

Gogolevsky Boulevard in Moscow - history, name

Gogolevsky Boulevard was laid out shortly after 1812, and was then called Prechistensky after the Prechistensky Gate of the White City, from which Prechistenka Street began. A special feature of the boulevard is its three-stage relief: the internal passage is located on the upper stage, the boulevard itself is on the middle, and the external passage is on the lower. This reminds us that the fortress wall that ran here was built on the steep bank of Chertoryi, which washed the outer slope of the rampart. Despite the fact that the boulevard was located next to the aristocratic district of old Moscow, it did not become a favorite promenade place for the “high society”. This may have been due to the dampness and fog emanating from the stream. In the 1870s he was imprisoned in an underground pipe.

In 1909, a monument to Gogol by sculptor N.A. appeared on the boulevard. Andreeva. The opening was timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the writer’s birth. The boulevard itself was renamed Gogolsky in 1924. Not everyone liked the monument “with the mourning” Gogol. In 1952 it was replaced by a monument by sculptor N.V. Tomsky, and the old one was moved to the courtyard of the house Nikitsky Boulevard, 7, where the last years of the writer’s life passed. All that remains of the St. Andrew’s monument on Gogolevsky Boulevard are lanterns with lions.

In 1935, the entrance to Gogolevsky Boulevard was decorated with an elegant arch spanned between the symmetrical pavilions of the Kropotkinskaya metro station. Until 1957 it was called the "Palace of Soviets". The author of the structure is architect S.M. Kravets.

In 2007, a monument to M.A. was unveiled on the boulevard. Sholokhov works by sculptors I.M. and A.I. Rukavishnikov. Sholokhov, having abandoned the oars, calmly floats towards the enemy Sivtsev, where he once lived, and in the opposite direction, against the waterfall, a herd of horses, divided in two, tries to swim. According to the authors, the herd symbolizes the split of Russia into whites and reds.
