Sights of Mytishchi and description

Let's start our acquaintance with the natural monument of the city - the Yauza River. This is the left tributary of the Moscow River. The river is small, its length is 48 kilometers. It originates in the Moscow region, in the swamps of Losiny Ostrov. Ustye is located in the center of Moscow, near the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge. The area of the Yauza basin is 452 square meters. km.

At the beginning of the 18th century, from the mouth to Sokolniki, the banks of the Yauza were actively built up; its bed was blocked by numerous mills and dams. This greatly polluted its waters. In the 1930s, the river bed was leveled and almost doubled, granite embankments were erected along the reservoir, and new bridges appeared. The entire undeveloped part of the Yauza valley was declared a natural monument in 1991.

Elk Island National Park

This is a natural museum-reserve protected by the state. On its territory of 12,000 hectares there are coniferous forests and birch groves, ponds and lakes created by nature itself.

The park offers excursions where you can learn more about the area, see beautiful landscapes and get to know the main inhabitants of the island – moose.

SCHEME OF FVMK AND MAIN STRUCTURES

The entrance to the pantheon territory is marked by a pair of 32-meter steles. They symbolically reflect the different types of Armed Forces that we had during the Great Patriotic War: ground forces, the Air Force, the Navy and the rear of the army. Not far from the entrance is the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

The War Memorial Cemetery is divided into several areas: an entrance area, a production area, a ritual area, and a direct burial area with a columbarium. The diagram shows the main structures of the complex.

Explanations for the diagram:

Obelisk of Glory
Administrative building
Pantheons
Avenue of Heroes
Ritual halls
Arch of the Pantheon
Eternal Flame Complex

Like any special facility, the memorial cemetery has a central entrance, that is, a military checkpoint.

From the entrance there is a central Alley, the length of which is over 2 km and the width is 10 m. A bridge is laid directly to the burials. It is constructed over a natural ravine, dividing the territory into almost 2 equal parts. The bridge symbolically separates life from death.

The continuation of the symbolic bridge is the Alley of Heroes. It depicts in strokes the past of our country from ancient times to the present.

It is decorated with 24 figures of warriors, cast in bronze and representing 6 main periods, starting from the soldiers of Dmitry Donskoy, and ending with the special forces soldiers of our days. On both sides of the central Alley, 15 elite segments have been allocated for the purpose of burying the Supreme Commanders-in-Chief of the RF Armed Forces.

In its surroundings along the entire length to the left and right there are architectural memorials, such as an underground hall of remembrance and pantheons. There was also space for a cafeteria, a funeral supplies store and a toilet.

A little away from the central Alley there is an administrative building lined with granite.

On the other side of the symbolic bridge, space is reserved for the ritual area, which contains a pair of similarly decorated mourning houses. One of them shows the core of the power.

The basis of its design is contained in the symbolism of the double-headed eagle and in the shape of the Kremlin towers. Another funeral home is decorated with military paraphernalia.

Behind the Arch is the final sculpture “Sorrow,” which depicts a mother with her warrior son dying in her arms. A bowl filled with water in front of the monument symbolizes sadness.

The central part of the water surface is crowned by the Eternal Flame, which seems to be bursting out of the water. Behind the sculpture, streams of water, like a mother’s tears, roll down the slabs into a round reservoir.

Monument to Mytishchi water pipeline

At the entrance to the city from the Volkovskoye Highway, a monument to the water supply system proudly stands. It was installed in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Russian water supply system in 2004. It consists of three pipes with valves twisted together. It is noteworthy that as you approach the monument, it visually becomes larger.

Story

In ancient times, on the site of this city there was the village of Loshakovo. Over time, other settlements joined it, thus forming a volost.

At the end of the 18th century, Catherine II issued a decree according to which a gravity water supply system was to be laid from Mytishchi to Moscow. For a long time it supplied the city with water from the Mytishchi springs. The water pipeline began operating in 1804. In the 19th century, the first textile factories appeared here.

In 1860, Mytishchi turned into an important transport hub near Moscow, and the station village acquired the characteristic features of the future city. In 1896, one of the largest Russian factories for the production of carriages, which belonged to a group of industrialists, began operating in Mytishchi. In 1909, the country's first silk factory, Viscose, came into operation in Mytishchi. Soon a workers' settlement appeared near it.

In 1925, Mytishchi received official city status. A few years later, the surrounding villages were annexed to it - Sharapovo, Taininka, Rupasovo, Perlovka, Zarechnaya Sloboda.

Today Mytishchi is a modern, actively developing city. Its industry is represented by many sectors: mechanical engineering, production of finishing and building materials, light and food industries, instrument making, metalworking and others.

Monument to Family, Love and Loyalty

Walking through the cultural park, you can see this original monument, which was created by very young sculptors in 2011. This construction was dedicated to the day of Saints Peter and Fevronya, patrons of the family. On the monument, Peter and Fevronya extend their hands to each other, symbolizing love and unity.

Mytishchi in the Great Patriotic War

Today, on the day of the 76th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War, we continue to publish chapters from the book of Mytishchi local historian and cyclist Sergei Egorov, “Historical Mytishchi from a bicycle.” We offer you a cycling route through the historical places of the city of Mytishchi associated with the Great War.

Until the 1960s, the city of Kaliningrad-Korolev was part of the Mytishchi district. Leonidovka was part of the Podlipki-Leonidovka group village council. Many residents who worked at the ZIK plant lived in Leonidovka. Therefore, there was only one military registration and enlistment office. Until the 1960s, people were drafted into the army, and even more so during the war, from the military registration and enlistment office of the village. Leonidovka.

The parades took place in Mytishchi. Therefore, the company’s employees gathered at the entrance and walked along the street. Lenin, Pionerskaya, Yaroslavl highway to Vokzalnaya Square in Mytishchi.

We are separated by the Yaroslavl highway, but we have a common historical memory.

Cycling route. Length 17 km. Mytishchi station - Silikatnaya st. - Leonidovka - st. Kolontsova - Yaroslavskoe highway - Druzhba microdistrict - Perlovskaya - Yauza recreation center.

The city of Mytishchi did not directly participate in the hostilities of the Great Patriotic War. The first line of defense of Moscow in October-November 1941 took place at a sufficient distance along the banks of the Klyazminskoye and Uchinskoye reservoirs, the Klyazma River, and the Moscow-Volga water canal. Nevertheless, the city was actively involved in ensuring the defense of Moscow: the 2nd (reserve) line of defense passed through it, elite special forces of the NKVD working in the German rear were stationed here, their schools and training camps were located, and defense enterprises operated at full capacity.

Route 4. Map 1.

We begin our cycling route on the square next to the Mytishchi railway station (on the left side of the railway from Moscow at point 1: 55.915188, 37.760308.) In 1941, recruits were sent to the front from this station. Trains with soldiers from Siberia and the Far East stopped there, who were then transferred to Moscow. Honorary citizen of Mytishchi, General A.P. Beloborodov, recalled how during a long stop of the train with troops of the 78th Infantry Division at the Mytishchi station on October 22, 1941, a meeting was organized with the participation of local residents, which strengthened the morale of soldiers and officers.

From the station we move along Sharapovsky Proezd and Silikatnaya Street to building 1/9 ( point 2: 55.924144, 37.769180). In 1941, the 18th Fighter Battalion was stationed in the building of the Moscow Industrial College (now Lyceum No. 2), which not only performed security and counter-sabotage functions, but also participated in raids behind enemy lines.

The building is a former industrial college - the location of the 18th extermination battalion

We follow to point 3 (Silikatnaya, 19: 55.931394, 37.775594). This is the entrance to the enterprise of OJSC “Mostroyplastmass” (the former brick factory of the merchant Gerasimov, and since 1929 – the Silicate Brick Plant). During the war, the production of anti-tank mines was established there. In October 1943, a terrible explosion occurred at the plant, as a result of which it was completely destroyed. We cross Silikatnaya Street and approach the monument to those killed in the Second World War and in the explosion at the plant ( point 4 : 55.930691, 37.777747).

For experienced cyclists, we suggest driving to the entrance of the Dynamo shooting range ( point 5: 55.942087, 37.771645). During the war, there was a training base for the First Russian Special Forces - the Separate Special Purpose Motorized Rifle Brigade of the NKVD (OMSBON). The brigade has carried out hundreds of raids and special missions behind enemy lines, dozens of created partisan detachments, including the famous “Winners” detachment of D.N. Medvedev, in which the legendary intelligence officer N.I. Kuznetsov fought. The author's father Stepan Mikhailovich Egorov fought with the Nazis in the Frunze partisan brigade near the city of Osveya (Belarus) under the command of I.K. Zakharov. According to his recollections, part of their brigade was also formed from fighters of the Mytishchi OMSBON. Currently, the shooting range is private territory. And the question of access to it depends on the favor of the guards. You can drive around the territory from the outside, for example, to the Olympic entrance to the shooting range ( point 6 : 55.943434, 37.765424).

Not far from point 4, behind the railway, there is the Podlipki sanatorium (point 7: 55.937789, 37.810565, Yaroslavskoe highway, property 149). Here during the war there was a Hospital for 650 beds and a Higher School of Sappers and Miners for 125 people.

From point 4 we return to the beginning of Silikatnaya Street, cross the railway crossing at point 8 : 55.923474, 37.771819 and move along the street. Popova towards Yaroslavl highway. On the right side is the block of the Mytishchi city hospital, where the hospital was located during the war. At point 9: 55.924299, 37.784887 (13 Popova St.) there is a bayonet monument to those killed in the Second World War. The monument is located on the site of a one-story wooden building of the district military registration and enlistment office, in which conscription for military service was carried out during the war. More than 45 thousand of our fellow countrymen went to the front from this building.

Following Khlebozavodskaya Street, we exit onto Yaroslavskoe Highway and climb the pedestrian bridge at point 10: 55.921323, 37.796067. From the bridge there is a view of the administrative building of artillery plant No. 88 (now RSC Energia OJSC, point 10 : 55.921762, 37.798245).

The administrative building of the former military plant ZIK N 88 (now RKK Energia) In 1941, the plant was evacuated to the Urals, and in 1942 Leningradsky was transported to its place. During the war years, the plant produced 5,400 25 mm 72-K automatic anti-aircraft guns.

We drive along the Yaroslavl highway to the Church of the Icon of the Vladimir Mother of God ( point 11 : 55.910049, 37.774030). The church's bell tower was dismantled in 1941 so as not to serve as a landmark for enemy aircraft, and was restored only in the late 1990s.

On the left hand we pass the site of the former airfield of the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command ( point 12 : 55.911582, 37.784523). It was from this airfield that OMSBON sabotage and partisan groups were most often delivered behind enemy lines.

We drive 800 meters to the entrance of OJSC "Metrovagonmash" st. Kolontsova, 6, point 13 : 55.910457, 37.765751. The plant, which hid under number 592 during the war, was evacuated to Ust-Katav in October 1941. Despite the evacuation, armored caps and anti-tank hedgehogs continued to be produced on its territory. And since 1943, using new equipment, the plant began to produce self-propelled artillery units SU-76, which became famous in the battles on the Kursk Bulge. The monument to the legendary self-propelled gun rises opposite the entrance of the plant.

On the site near the temple there are two reinforced concrete fireplaces (reinforced concrete firing point). One has been preserved in this place since the Second World War. At that time there was no church, no shopping center, and a significant section of the Yaroslavl highway was freely shot from the reinforced concrete construction. The second ZhBOT was recently “rescued” by local historians from the swamps of Losiny Ostrov.
