The forest is nearby

Korolev is considered a very environmentally friendly city - mainly due to the “Losiny Island” adjacent to the south (of the 5.5 thousand hectares that the city occupies, 3.8 thousand hectares are forested) If on average in the Moscow region there are 10 ,37 sq. m of green area, then in Korolev this figure is 79 sq.m, i.e. 7.6 times more! Moreover, 27% of Korolev’s territory is occupied by parks and squares; There are 10 open reservoirs within the city.

Each microdistrict has its own parks - for example, near the Kostino Palace of Culture there is a small old park with children's attractions, near a former estate, in Podlipki near the Palace of Culture, etc. A green area stretches along the water canal, not very landscaped, but you can walk and ride there on bicycles.

Park near the Kostino Palace of Culture

Residential areas are located quite compactly in the city center, and industrial areas and factories are located on the outskirts. In addition to enterprises, heavy congestion on the streets and active construction within the city have a negative impact on the environment. The queens also don’t like the state of the streets in the off-season. In spring, huge puddles form and the roads are dirty. This makes the city noticeably different from Moscow districts, even the most remote ones. The streets are cleaned worse in Korolev than in the capital, residents note. It’s relatively clean in old Podlipki, on Korolev Avenue, but already on Kosmonavtov Avenue, closer to the railway line, it’s a disaster.

Climate

The climate of the city of Korolev, as well as the entire Moscow region, is temperate continental, slightly different from the climate of Moscow. In winter it is somewhat colder here, and in summer (June is warmer here than August) it is not as hot and stuffy as in the Russian capital, and there is slightly less precipitation. The coldest month, unlike the regional center, is January, and March here is colder than November. Thaws are also common in December. .

Toponymy

The village of Podlipki arose as a dacha village at the end of the 19th century, since then its name has changed three times: the village of Kalininsky (after 1928), the city of Kaliningrad (after 1938), Korolev (after 1996). The name “Korolev” was given in honor of the designer of rocket and space systems S.P. Korolev, who headed Department 3 of the Special Design Bureau NII-88 (then OKB-1), located in this city, and Kalininsky and Kaliningrad - after the name of the state and party figure M.I. Kalinin, who took an active part in the activities of artillery plant No. 8 in the 1920s - 1930s. The name Kalinin was given to the plant in 1922.

Space Technology Museum

The name of this attraction, Queen of the Moscow Region, speaks for itself. Here are exhibits that characterize the history of the creation of our rocket and space technology: from the original Soviet long-range ballistic missiles to the Energia launch vehicle and the Sea Launch strategic rocket and space complex, from early artificially created Earth satellites to pilot-controlled space transport ships of various modifications.

The museum is represented by a showroom, the Labor Glory Hall and the S.P. Korolev Memorial Room.

Story

Main article: History of the city of Korolev

Coat of Arms (1988)

In the 12th century, settlements of Slavic tribes existed on the territory of the city, along the banks of the Klyazma River. An ancient water trade route from Moscow to the Vladimir-Suzdal principality passed through this area, and further - with access to the huge water artery of the continent - the river. Volga (Itil). The route passed along the rivers: Moscow-Yauza-Klyazma-Oka-Volga (with a portage from the Yauza (Mytishchi, MMZ plant) to Klyazma (Bolshevo, Shapkin Bridge)). At the beginning of the 18th century, one of the first industrial enterprises in Russia was organized here - a linen and cloth manufactory.

On the territory of modern Korolev, by the end of the 19th century, there were 14 large and small villages and hamlets: Bogorodskoye (Kostino), Bolshevo, Burkovo, Vlasovo, Gorodishche, Kurakino, Maksimkovo, Komarovka, Lapino, Baskaki (Baski), Ovrazhye (Zaovrazhye), Kakhovka ( Georgievskoe), Samarovka, Staraya Tarasovka.

In 1895, the Mytishchi-Shchelkovo railway line was put into operation and a railway station was built. Podlipki (later - Podlipki-Dachnye).

In 1918, the Ordnance Plant was transferred to the territory of the Podlipki holiday village from Petrograd. In 1928, the village of Podlipki was classified as a working settlement and received a new name - Kalininsky. By Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR No. 1458/7 on December 26, 1938, the urban-type settlement of Kalininsky was transformed into the city of Kaliningrad.

In 1960, the city of Kostino was included in Kaliningrad; since 1963, the villages of Bolshevo, Pervomaisky and Tekstilshchik are administratively subordinate to the city.

In 1992, the city of Yubileiny was separated from Kaliningrad.

On July 8, 1996, the city was renamed from Kaliningrad to Korolev in honor of Sergei Pavlovich Korolev.

In 2003, the city included the urban-type settlements of Bolshevo, Pervomaisky and Tekstilshchik, previously administratively subordinate to it, in 2004 - the settlements of Torfopredpriyatie, Vodoprovodchik-5 and Pogonny [ source not specified 1858 days

], previously part of the Pushkinsky district.

In 2005, the Korolev urban district was formed - a municipal entity that includes the city of Korolev and surrounding areas.

In 2014, the city of Yubileiny was again included in the city of Korolev.

Mission Control Center

The Mission Control Center was established in October 1960 in this town as a computer center that allows processing and analyzing information received from the first space devices.

At the present time, the Center is still functioning and carries out flight control of the department of the Russian part of the International Space Station, both manned vehicles and those operating in automatic mode.

MCC employees will help organize visits to the center for both Russian and foreign citizens. As you tour this Korolev landmark, you will visit the hall from which the laurel-crowned Mir orbital station has been operated for the past fifteen years. You will also be able to see the Main Mission Control Hall of the International Space Station, and most importantly, it is rare for anyone to be able to observe the work of managing the orbital complex in real time.

You will hear many different stories about the arrangement and activities of the Center, you will be able to watch fascinating videos about the life of astronauts in orbit, but nothing compares to the opportunity to observe in real time the control of the orbital station.

Korolev urban district

During the implementation of the Federal Law “On the general principles of organizing local self-government in the Russian Federation” (No. 131-FZ of October 6, 2003, entered into force on January 1, 2006), municipalities were created in the Moscow region. In 2005, the municipal formation “city of Korolev, Moscow region” was transformed into the urban district of Korolev, which included 1 settlement - the city of Korolev.

“The majority of residential buildings are being built in the south of the city - in the area of ​​Gorky Street, Kosmonavtov Avenue, Uritsky and Proletarskaya streets. The average cost of a meter varies from 70 to 100 thousand rubles,” says Ekaterina Kurgina.

Seven monolithic buildings of the Golden Gate microdistrict have already been commissioned (developed by Rusinvest) on the street. Pionerskaya, apartments are being sold. New buildings are also being built. However, this area is not very favorable, the street is always busy, the noisy and polluted Yaroslavka passes nearby, and the TsNIIMASH industrial zone is located. This disadvantage is balanced by the proximity of the Podlipki-Dachnye station. Two-room apartment 57 sq. m costs 5.07 million rubles.

Three houses on Tarasovskaya Street should be commissioned by the end of the year. This is in the north-west of the city, also not far from the Yaroslavl highway.

In the Tarasovskaya 2 residential complex, the cost per square meter is from 67,000 rubles, the area of ​​apartments is from 26.5 sq. m. m. At “Tarasovskaya, 14” a meter already costs 72,000 rubles, the size of apartments starts from 27.3 sq. m. m. “Tarasovskaya, 25” costs 69,000 rubles/sq.m. m, apartment area - from 30.5 sq. m. In all these three buildings, studio apartments, one-room, two- and three-room apartments are sold.

The Sputnik residential complex, the developer of which was the Skygrad Group of Companies, is a 16-storey building with underground parking, located on the street. Marina Tsvetaeva, not far from the poet’s house-museum. Its location is convenient and, perhaps, the best of all royal new buildings: near a park and Bolshevo station. The only thing that can disturb you is the noise from passing trains, since the railway line is very close.

Low-rise residential complex "Valentinovka Park"

Low-rise construction in the city is represented by the Valentinovka Park residential complex (built by Granelle Development Group), between the street. Gorky and Valentinovka station. “Valentinovka Park” is 23 buildings of 3-story houses with all the infrastructure and amenities. Small apartments for sale here, from 31 sq. m - from at prices from 2.6 million rubles.

Elizaveta Gudz claims that another low-rise project will soon be launched in Korolev.

One of the attractive projects is the Druzhba microdistrict, which is being built nearby, on the street. Silikatnaya, 4. This is the Strela residential complex. There are four 17-story panel-brick buildings here. Nearby there is a bus station, the Zvezdny shopping center, a forest, and a lake. Construction is being carried out by Okhra LLC, delivery is scheduled for the end of this year. One-room apartments 47 sq. m there you can buy from 3.75 million rubles.

The Hall of Labor Glory is history in the faces of those people who made it happen, but remained behind the scenes, the history of ordinary hard workers, without whom the plans of great scientists and designers would be very problematic to bring to life. Everything is present here: photographs, documentary sources, awards, souvenirs, etc.

Architectural monuments Queen

Korolev is a young city, but several architectural monuments of the 19th century have been preserved on its territory, as well as interesting examples of Soviet architectural thought.

Lapino-Spasskoye Estate

  • Address: microdistrict Pervomaisky, st. Sovetskaya, 9.

The estate in the village of Lapino appeared in the 19th century thanks to the local manufacturer Panteleev. In subsequent years, the estate changed several owners, and the last owner of the mansion and adjacent buildings was entrepreneur A.N. Craft. After the change of government, the estate turned into socialist property and served the working people.

Several buildings have survived to this day, among which the three-story manor house and a small one-story outbuilding stand out. The main house housed a kindergarten; a music school still operates in the outbuilding. The mansion requires major renovations; the building is currently abandoned.

Culture and Leisure Center

  • Address: Sovetskaya st., 71, Pervomaisky microdistrict.

The building of the cultural center in Bolshevo is an architectural monument of the 19th century. Initially, the simple brick building belonged to a dyeing factory and only in Soviet times became the main cultural attraction of the village.

For a long time, the youth club “Fakel” worked here; club members organized the first drama club in the settlement. Today the center accommodates more than a dozen creative groups, children's clubs and interest clubs.

First house of MZhK

  • Address: ave. Koroleva, 18/6.

The youth residential complex is a unique example of Soviet architecture. From 1971 to 1991, massive construction projects took place throughout the Union, and houses were erected for young families. At the beginning of the all-Union experiment, young builders from all over the country came to Kaliningrad, the future Korolev.

It was here that the very first multi-storey building of the complex was built. The façade of the building, like a beehive, consists entirely of cell-balconies. Some of the apartments are still occupied by the families of the original residents.

Attractions

In a separate room, experts reproduced the furnishings of Korolev’s office.

House-Museum of M.I. Tsvetaeva

  • Address: st. Marina Tsvetaeva, 15.

Modern Korolev consists of several settlements, one of the oldest and most significant among them is the village of Bolshevo. Here, under the tall pines, a green wooden house with large windows was lost. The small mansion is the place where the famous poetess Marina Tsvetaeva lived in 1939 after returning from France.

Marina Ivanovna spent less than six months in the village, but the events that occurred during this period of time had a terrible impact on the future life of the long-suffering woman. After 17 years of emigration and life in poverty, Tsvetaeva was forced to return to her homeland, which greeted the poetess harshly and only prepared new challenges for her. After the arrest of her husband and daughter, Marina Ivanovna was left alone with her youngest son and had difficulty surviving without the help of family and friends.

The Tsvetaeva Museum began operating in 1992. The house contains objects that are related to the life and work of the famous poetess. The rooms have preserved original furniture and dishes that belonged to Marina Ivanovna. Near the entrance to the house, guests are greeted by a stone sculpture of Tsvetaeva.

Religion

Prince Alexander Nevsky. The Church of Evangelical Christians-Baptists “Unity” and the Church of Christians of the Evangelical Faith “Exodus” operate in Korolev. The main office of the Regional charitable public organization "Bible League" is located in Korolev.

Religious centers of the city

For believers, Korolev has a number of objects of interest. Let's look at some of them.

The Church of Cosmas and Damian is the oldest landmark in the city

The date of construction of the wooden temple is 1585. More than 200 years later (in 1786), with the participation of P.I. Odoevsky, construction of a new building began, which has survived to this day. Inside the church, on a memorial plaque, it is attested that the burial of his daughter Daria Petrovna is located near the temple.

The wave of persecution aimed at combating religion did not spare the church itself and its clergy. The temple was subjected to destruction and robbery. Local residents managed to get permission from M.I. Kalinin to leave him alone. Restoration work was carried out by believers. People worked for free, bringing the necessary materials and icons from home. Other temples also provided assistance.

A valuable relic of the sanctuary is the icon of Cosmas and Damian with partial of their holy relics.

You can find the church at the address: Bolshevo microdistrict, Stantsionnaya street, 43.

Over the long history of its existence (since 1689), the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary has had to endure more than one misfortune. Its finishing and equipment continued for 2 years. It was not large in size. It was built of red brick with white stone decorations. With the change of owners, changes occurred:

  • under Princess Dolgorukova, the church was repaired and a wooden bell tower was built;
  • the princess's daughter replaced the bell tower with a stone one;
  • Kraft, who served as an elder in the church, equipped it with central heating.

Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

After the temple was closed during Soviet times, it was subjected to repeated looting. The main shrine was stolen from it - the miraculous icon of the Smolensk Mother of God, which had been kept there for more than 200 years. Then a labor commune was located in the temple, and reconstruction took place. In 1954, the building was completely destroyed and a residential building was erected in its place. In 1995, a decision was made to revive the temple near this place. Since 2006, worship services have been resumed there.

Location: Kostino microdistrict, st. Kaliningradskaya, 1.

Passing by the Alexander Nevsky Chapel in the morning or evening, you can hear the melodic bell ringing

You can visit it by coming to Tsiolkovsky Street, 26.

It is part of the Memorial complex to fallen soldiers. The idea of ​​the townspeople was that residents and guests of the city would have the opportunity to remember these people who gave their lives for our better future. The chapel was built with funds raised by the townspeople. By the start of work in 1998, this amount reached 200 thousand rubles. Inside it is equipped modestly, the room itself is small. You can talk with the priest on duty, or visit the church shop.
