What did Pyatnitskaya Street in Zamoskvorechye look like 100 years ago? Who lived in the old mansions and apartment buildings? What sights are located on Pyatnitskaya Street? My story will answer these questions. I, Sergey Yartsev, will show you photo collages of what was and what has become and old plans with drawings of houses on Pyatnitskaya Street in one of the old districts of Moscow. Zamoskvorechye is the territory of old Moscow with its winding streets and cozy courtyards. Judging by the chronicles, in the old days people settled this area along the Moscow River, did not retreat inland, since it was dangerous, because unfriendly visits from southern neighbors happened quite often. We will walk along the houses of Moscow along one of the most famous streets of Zamoskvorechye - Pyatnitskaya Street. Old photographs, map drawings and plans will help me with this. And also the book of my friend, writer and tour guide Denis Drozdov "Bolshaya Ordynka", since Denis is rightfully considered an expert and researcher of Zamoskvorechye. Here is Denis's profile on VKontakte, write to him when you want to walk around Zamoskvorechye. https://vk.com/drozdovdenmsc The playwright Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky is called the Columbus of Zamoskvorechye, he was born here and in his works he often used the types of Zamoskvorechye residents. The only thing that is a bit offensive is that most of Ostrovsky's heroes are ignoramuses and tyrants. And it was Ostrovsky who introduced the word "tyrant" into the lexicon. Leo Tolstoy lived on Pyatnitskaya Street after returning from the Crimean War, young Chekhov lived in Zamoskvorechye on Bolshaya Yakimanka Street, Anna Akhmatova met her son Lev Gumilyov on Ordynka after returning from the camps. Zamoskvorechye holds many secrets. So the history of Moscow is interesting and multifaceted.
