.

Story

The Khimki district of the Moscow region was formed in 1940[4]. The Khimki district includes the following administrative units:

from the Krasnogorsk region: the city of Khimki; working settlements of Krasnooktyabrsky and Nikolsky; holiday village Novo-Khovrino; village councils Aksininsky, Businovsky, Kurkinsky, Novoluzhinsky, Petrovsko-Lobanovsky, Khimkinsky, Yurlovsky

On February 2, 1953, the city of Khimki received the status of a city of regional subordination.

On June 14, 1954, Brekhovsky, Businovsky, Goretovsky, Kurkinsky, Uskovsky, Filinsky, Khimkinsky, Cherkizovsky and Chernogryazhsky s/s were abolished.

On December 7, 1957, the city of Solnechnogorsk and the s/s Belavinsky, Berezhkovsky, Vertlinsky, Elizarovsky, Kirovsky, Kurilovsky, Litvinovsky, Moshnitsky, Obukhovsky, Peshkovsky, Povarovsky, Rakhmanovsky, Sokolovsky, Solnechnogorsky, Spas-Slobodsky and Tarakanovsky. December 19 r.p. Nikolsky was included within the city limits of Moscow.

On June 3, 1959, the city of Dolgoprudny was transferred from the abolished Krasnopolyansky district to Khimki; r.p. Beskudnikovo, Vagonoremont, Krasnaya Polyana, Lobnya, Nekrasovsky; d.p. Lianozovo, Lugovaya and Sheremetyevsky; s/s Belorastovsky, Bibirevsky, Verkhne-Likhoborsky, Vinogradovsky, Gabovsky, Kamensky, Kiovsky, Klyazminsky, Kotovsky, Krasnogorsky, Poyarkovsky, Sukharevsky, Fedoskinsky and Chashnikovsky. On July 31, the Litvinovsky s/s was abolished, and on August 29, the Kotovsky s/s.

On August 18, 1960, the Khimki district was abolished. At the same time, r.p. Beskudnikovo, Vagonoremont and Krasnooktyabrsky; d.p. Lianozovo and Novo-Khovrino; s/s Aksininsky, Bibirevsky, Verkhne-Likhoborsky, Novoluzhinsky and Petrovsko-Lobanovsky entered the city limits of Moscow (on the parts of the territory of Aksininsky and Novoluzhinsky s/s that were not included in the boundaries of Moscow, Starbeevsky and Rodionovsky s/s were formed). The city of Khimki and the villages of Klyazminsky, Molzhaninovsky, Rodionovsky and Starbeevsky entered the Krasnogorsk district. D.p. Sheremetyevsky and s/s Vinogradovsky, Krasnogorsky, Sukharevsky and Fedoskinsky entered the Mytishchi district. The rest of the Khimki district was transferred to the Solnechnogorsk district.

On October 29, 1984, due to the expansion of the Moscow city limits, Molzhaninovsky and Rodionovsky s/s were abolished.

On February 3, 1994, village councils were transformed into rural districts[5].

In 2004, by a series of decrees of the governor of the Moscow region (dated July 19[6], August 9[7] and September 15[8]), all settlements of the Khimki region were successively included in the city of Khimki (including the city of Skhodnya, which at that time time 19 thousand inhabitants).

In 2005, the municipal formation “Khimki District of the Moscow Region” was granted the status of an urban district[9]. Later, the Khimki district was abolished as an administrative unit.

The boundaries of the city district were slightly adjusted by separate regional laws in 2011[10] and 2012[2].

History of the city's development

The city got its name because it arose on the Khimka River (it no longer appears on maps - it was absorbed by the canal system) as a station village that appeared during the construction of a railway that connected the two Russian capitals in 1851.

By the middle of the 19th century, it was a popular dacha place around the villages: Kireevo, Kozmodemyanskoye, Krasnye Gorki, and later, the Tolstoulov wasteland was built up with dacha villages, and all these places were united and called Khimki.

Along with the industrial boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serious enterprises came to Khimki: a dyeing plant, a cloth and wool-spinning factory, and thanks to the traffic flow from Moscow to St. Petersburg, the area developed rapidly.

County boundary

Khimki urban district borders

with municipal districts of the Moscow region: Solnechnogorsk district,
Krasnogorsk district,

with urban districts of the Moscow region:

Mytishchi urban district,

Dolgoprudny urban district.

Also, the Khimki urban district borders on the following administrative districts and districts of Moscow:

Northern administrative district Levoberezhny district
Molzhaninovsky district
Khovrino

Work in Khimki

Work in Khimki
There are never any problems with working in Khimki near Moscow. The proximity to Moscow makes the city in demand in many areas. You can find a position both in Khimki and the capital. But it’s worth considering that it’s better to get to Moscow by metro, as numerous reviews say. Traffic jams during rush hour can last for hours. The most in-demand professions for 2022 remain:

Sales cashiers.
Cleaner.
Storekeeper.
Engineer.
Doctor.
Senior detective.
Accountant.

In Khimki there is an acute shortage of service personnel, so getting a job as a waiter or salesperson will not be a problem. A large number of kindergarten teachers, specialized teachers, and finishing craftsmen are also required.

Based on the number of vacancies, the ranking is as follows.

Transport

Important transport routes of Russia pass through the territory of the urban district: the M10
E 105
Moscow - St. Petersburg highway and the railway track of the Moscow branch of the Oktyabrskaya Railway with five stopping points:

Levoberezhnaya platform
Khimki station
Podrezkovo platform
Skhodnya station
Firsanovka platform

Sheremetyevo International Airport is located on the territory of the Khimki urban district.

Property Features

Mass housing construction began in Khimki in the 1930s, when the village of Levoberezhny and the northern part of the future city were built, and in the following decades - the Dubki area near the canal.

Then the construction of residential buildings moved to the south, where the city center then moved (the so-called New Khimki). Subsequently, housing was built for workers in the aerospace industry, which the city specializes in to this day.

If you are interested in apartments in new buildings in Khimki, consider the advantages of this city.

Firstly, Khimki occupies a strategically advantageous position between Moscow and Sheremetyevo - it has transport accessibility, jobs, and an economically developed, and therefore socially prosperous, area.

Secondly, there is a favorable ecological situation, an abundance of natural resources (forests), proximity to “big water” (the water area of the Moscow Canal, the Khimki Reservoir, the Klyazma and Skhodnya rivers).

An excerpt characterizing the Khimki Urban District

“No, she doesn’t understand or is pretending,” thought Pierre. “It’s better not to tell her either.” The princess also prepared provisions for Pierre's journey. “How kind they all are,” thought Pierre, “that now, when they probably couldn’t be more interested in this, they are doing all this. And everything for me; That’s what’s amazing.” On the same day, the police chief came to Pierre with a proposal to send a trustee to the Faceted Chamber to receive the things that were now being distributed to the owners. “This one too,” thought Pierre, looking into the police chief’s face, “what a nice, handsome officer and how kind!” Now he deals with such trifles. They also say that he is not honest and takes advantage of him. What nonsense! But why shouldn’t he use it? That's how he was raised. And everyone does it. And such a pleasant, kind face, and smiles, looking at me.” Pierre went to dinner with Princess Marya. Driving through the streets between the burned-out houses, he was amazed at the beauty of these ruins. The chimneys of houses and fallen walls, picturesquely reminiscent of the Rhine and the Colosseum, stretched, hiding each other, along the burnt blocks. The cab drivers and riders we met, the carpenters who cut the log houses, the traders and shopkeepers, all with cheerful, beaming faces, looked at Pierre and said as if: “Ah, here he is! Let's see what comes out of this." Upon entering the house of Princess Marya, Pierre was filled with doubt as to the justice of the fact that he was here yesterday, saw Natasha and spoke with her. “Maybe I made it up. Maybe I’ll walk in and not see anyone.” But before he had time to enter the room, in his entire being, after the instant deprivation of his freedom, he felt her presence. She was wearing the same black dress with soft folds and the same hairstyle as yesterday, but she was completely different. If she had been like this yesterday when he entered the room, he could not have failed to recognize her for a moment. She was the same as he had known her almost as a child and then as the bride of Prince Andrei. A cheerful, questioning gleam shone in her eyes; there was a gentle and strangely playful expression on her face. Pierre had dinner and would have sat there all evening; but Princess Marya was going to the all-night vigil, and Pierre left with them. The next day Pierre arrived early, had dinner and sat there all evening. Despite the fact that Princess Marya and Natasha were obviously pleased with the guest; despite the fact that the whole interest of Pierre’s life was now concentrated in this house, by the evening they had talked everything over, and the conversation constantly moved from one insignificant subject to another and was often interrupted. Pierre stayed up so late that evening that Princess Marya and Natasha looked at each other, obviously waiting to see if he would leave soon. Pierre saw this and could not leave. He felt heavy and awkward, but he kept sitting because he couldn’t get up and leave. Princess Marya, not foreseeing an end to this, was the first to get up and, complaining of a migraine, began to say goodbye. – So you’re going to St. Petersburg tomorrow? – said oka. “No, I’m not going,” Pierre said hastily, with surprise and as if offended. - No, to St. Petersburg? Tomorrow; I just don't say goodbye. “I’ll come for the commissions,” he said, standing in front of Princess Marya, blushing and not leaving. Natasha gave him her hand and left. Princess Marya, on the contrary, instead of leaving, sank into a chair and looked sternly and carefully at Pierre with her radiant, deep gaze. The fatigue she had obviously shown before was now completely gone. She took a deep, long breath, as if preparing for a long conversation. All of Pierre's embarrassment and awkwardness, when Natasha was removed, instantly disappeared and was replaced by excited animation. He quickly moved the chair very close to Princess Marya. “Yes, that’s what I wanted to tell you,” he said, answering her glance as if in words. - Princess, help me. What should I do? Can I hope? Princess, my friend, listen to me. I know everything. I know I'm not worthy of her; I know it's impossible to talk about it now. But I want to be her brother. No, I don’t want to... I can’t... He stopped and rubbed his face and eyes with his hands. “Well, here,” he continued, apparently making an effort on himself to speak coherently. “I don’t know since when I love her.” But I have loved only her, only one, all my life and love her so much that I cannot imagine life without her. Now I don’t dare ask her hand; but the thought that maybe she could be mine and that I would miss this opportunity... opportunity... is terrible. Tell me, can I have hope? Tell me what should I do? “Dear princess,” he said, after being silent for a while and touching her hand, since she did not answer. “I’m thinking about what you told me,” answered Princess Marya. - I'll tell you what. You’re right, what should I tell her about love now... - The princess stopped. She wanted to say: it is now impossible to talk to her about love; but she stopped because for the third day she saw from Natasha’s sudden change that not only would Natasha not be offended if Pierre expressed his love to her, but that this was all she wanted. “It’s impossible to tell her now,” Princess Marya said. - But what should I do? “Entrust this to me,” said Princess Marya. “I know...” Pierre looked into Princess Marya’s eyes. “Well, well...” he said. “I know that she loves... will love you,” Princess Marya corrected herself. Before she had time to say these words, Pierre jumped up and, with a frightened face, grabbed Princess Marya by the hand. - Why do you think so? Do you think I can hope? You think?! “Yes, I think so,” said Princess Marya, smiling. - Write to your parents. And instruct me. I'll tell her when it's possible. I wish this. And my heart feels that this will happen. - No, this cannot be! How happy I am! But this cannot be... How happy I am! No, it can not be! - Pierre said, kissing the hands of Princess Marya. – You go to St. Petersburg; it is better. “And I’ll write to you,” she said. - To St. Petersburg? Drive? Okay, yes, let's go. But can I come to you tomorrow? The next day Pierre came to say goodbye. Natasha was less animated than in previous days; but on this day, sometimes looking into her eyes, Pierre felt that he was disappearing, that neither he nor she was any more, but there was only a feeling of happiness. “Really? No, it can’t be,” he said to himself with every look, gesture, and word that filled his soul with joy. When, saying goodbye to her, he took her thin, thin hand, he involuntarily held it in his a little longer. “Is this hand, this face, these eyes, all this alien treasure of feminine charm, will it all be forever mine, familiar, the same as I am for myself? No, this is impossible!..” “Goodbye, Count,” she told him loudly. “I’ll be waiting for you,” she added in a whisper. And these simple words, the look and facial expression that accompanied them, for two months formed the subject of Pierre’s inexhaustible memories, explanations and happy dreams. “I will be waiting for you very much... Yes, yes, as she said? Yes, I will be waiting for you very much. Oh, how happy I am! What is this, how happy I am!” - Pierre said to himself. Nothing now happened in Pierre's soul similar to what happened in it in similar circumstances during his matchmaking with Helen. He did not repeat, as then, with painful shame the words he had spoken, he did not say to himself: “Oh, why didn’t I say this, and why, why did I say “je vous aime” then?” [I love you, on the contrary, he repeated every word of hers, his own, in his imagination with all the details of her face, smile, and did not want to subtract or add anything: he only wanted to repeat. There was no longer even a shadow of doubt as to whether what he had undertaken was good or bad. Only one terrible doubt sometimes crossed his mind. Isn't this all in a dream? Was Princess Marya mistaken? Am I too proud and arrogant? I believe; and suddenly, as should happen, Princess Marya will tell her, and she will smile and answer: “How strange! He was probably mistaken. Doesn’t he know that he is a man, just a man, and I?.. I am completely different, higher.” Only this doubt often occurred to Pierre. He also didn’t make any plans now. The impending happiness seemed so incredible to him that as soon as it happened, nothing could happen. It was all over. A joyful, unexpected madness, of which Pierre considered himself incapable, took possession of him. The whole meaning of life, not for him alone, but for the whole world, seemed to him to lie only in his love and in the possibility of her love for him. Sometimes all the people seemed to him to be occupied with only one thing - his future happiness. It sometimes seemed to him that they were all as happy as he was, and were only trying to hide this joy, pretending to be busy with other interests. In every word and movement he saw hints of his happiness. He often surprised people who met him with his significant, happy looks and smiles that expressed secret agreement. But when he realized that people might not know about his happiness, he felt sorry for them with all his heart and felt a desire to somehow explain to them that everything they were doing was complete nonsense and trifles, not worth attention. When he was offered to serve or when they discussed some general, state affairs and war, assuming that the happiness of all people depended on this or that outcome of such and such an event, he listened with a meek, sympathetic smile and surprised the people who spoke to him with his strange remarks. But both those people who seemed to Pierre to understand the real meaning of life, that is, his feeling, and those unfortunate ones who obviously did not understand this - all people during this period of time seemed to him in such a bright light of the feeling shining in him that without the slightest effort, he immediately, meeting any person, saw in him everything that was good and worthy of love.

Infrastructure, leisure and entertainment

Khimki: Infrastructure, leisure and entertainment
The proximity to Moscow makes the city quite comfortable in terms of leisure and entertainment and the infrastructure necessary for life. There are a sufficient number of shops, salons, and clinics here. The administration is improving every district, almost every one has at least 3 parks, mandatory children's play areas, and areas for walking dogs. But if we take a specific rather than a general picture, new residential complexes often need the basic necessities - a grocery store, a playground, a lawn, a sidewalk. The shortage of stores is compensated by hypermarkets located in the city:

Auchan;
IKEA;
Mega;
Leroy Merlin;
M-Video, etc.

Among the smaller, but no less relevant shopping centers, the following can be distinguished:

"New Khimki" on the street. Friendship.
"Aero Plaza" on the street. Aviation.
“Helios country” by Repin.

Again, according to reviews, the population does not like visiting the Citrus shopping center on Moskovskaya, Liga on Planernaya and Polyana on Zheleznodorozhnaya. Cases of deception of buyers and boorish behavior on the part of sellers have become more frequent. There are no problems with cellular communications or the Internet. Because of its proximity to the capital, the largest companies operate here.

Among the entertainments, there is everything for every taste: cinemas, bars, clubs, quest rooms, hookah bars, billiard rooms, etc. You can visit museums and art galleries, of which there are a large number. For lovers of active pastime, the Mayak yacht club, the Nine golf club, the Khimki Arena ice palace, the International Tennis Academy, a large number of sports complexes, and ski slopes are open.

On the one hand, there are no problems with the transport sector in Khimki: metro, minibuses, wide roads and new interchanges. But in reality, all this comes down to kilometer-long traffic jams, and not only during rush hours. There is a critical shortage of parking spaces. Getting from one part of the city to another by public transport is very difficult. Local residents advise focusing on the metro, as this way you can get to any place in Khimki and to Moscow without delay.
