How accidentally, that this Moscow area was loved by many Russian writers, who themselves loved to be on the sparrow mountains, and mention them on the pages of their novels, stories, poems? Accident here is not: It is in the sparrow mountains that the widest and picturesque panorama of the capital opens - writers, as well as we and we did not imagine Moscow without the very terrain, sparrow mountains.
The name of the Vorobyev Mountains we find on the pages of works, letters and diaries N. M. Karamzin, M. Yu. Lermontova, F. M. Dostoevsky, L. N. Tolstoy, A. M. Gorky, A. A. Blok and others. So, the Panorama of Sparrow Mountains contributes, according to the plan of Lion Tolstoy, calm in a difficult hour in the soul of Pierre Lesukov: "On everything, and on the distant and the closest items, the magic and crystal shine was lying, which only happens at this autumn time. Awelled Vorobyev Mountains, S. ancient Church and a big white house. And bare trees, sand, and stones, and roofs of houses, and the green spire of the church, and the corners of the far white house, all this is unnaturally distinctly, the finest lines cut into the transparent air. "
And another classic of the Russian literature, who had no less acute artistic perception of the surrounding world, Poet Alexander Blok noticed somehow: "Paris with Montmartre is not what Moscow is with Sparrow Mountains."
Professor E. M. Murzaev, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, - a well-known domestic specialist in toponymics and folk geographical terms. Studying the toponymy of Moscow, he described the Terms of Sloboda popular in the geographical names of the capital, the field, the shore, dirt, garden, gate, shaft and others. Analyzed E. M. Murzayev and those names in which the term Yura entered. The complexity of the researcher caused (like many others) the answer to the question: what to count the mountain, that the hill? "Kremlin hill, a flat surface of the cliff of the Leninsky Mountains (this article E. M. Murzayev was published in 1985. - M. G.). And where is the mountain in the microdistrict of the Sokolina Mountain? In the toponymy of Moscow, the word" mountain "is often found, giving birth to names for Different models. It often appears in a decreasing form - a slide. Recall all the well-known Lenin Mountains, from where a wide panorama of the capital opens. This name appeared in 1935 and changed the "Sparrow Mountains". So why did this place named the sparrows of the mountains. More than a hundred years ago, in 1887, the "Guide to Moscow and its neighborhood" wrote: "Vorobyev Mountains. Travel. The steamer goes 8 times a day and back from the ditch, 20 kopecks. per person; the second way from the Kaluga Ocloz, and from there 3 versts; The road to the cottage of Mamonova Highway, and then clay, primer. Trinity day, during the temple holiday, folk walk. The restaurant is near the river, the second up, on the mountain where you can get a pickup pipe. "
The temple of the Trinity of the Liberal, Mentioned in the Guide (I saw him and Pierre Duhov in the given passage from the novel "War and Peace"), like most Moscow Orthodox churches, had and continues to have a second - clarifying location - part of the name: The Temple of the Trinity Library "on Sparrow Mountains. " She reached this day, happily escaped the bitter fate of many other closed, destroyed or rebuilt temples of Moscow. The temple was built here in Sem Vorobyev, which was the name of this high bank of the Moscow River, in 1811 and therefore can serve as one of the examples of classicism in the Moscow Temple Architecture. On the eve of the famous Council in the films, which has already been told in our book in connection with the history of Toponym Fili, M. I. Kutuzov prayed here, on the sparrow mountains, in the Temple of the Trinity of the Library. Before him, in Vorobyev, there was an older Trinity Church - from 1644, and the Vorobyevsky temple was known even earlier, therefore, the village of Vorobyevo and officially considered a village.
About the village Vorobyev is not known too much. It is important that it was one of the oldest settlements In the vicinity of Moscow: Vorobyevo was purchased by the princes Sophia Vitovoven - this happened no later than 1453, since in 1453 Sophia, the daughter of the Grand Duke Lithuanian Vitovt and the wife (in 1390-1425) of the Grand Duke Moscow Vasily I died. It was an unusual woman: in the youngster of the son, Vasily II, Sophia Vitovovna successfully managed the principality, actively participated in the fight against the specific princes, and in 1451 he managed the defense of Moscow from the Tatars. Since the acquisition of the princes Sophia, Vorobyevo became palace - high-chain, and then the royal summer residence. According to P. V. Sotina, the Great Princess bought for himself a village from a certain nickname sparrow. From here it becomes clear the origin of toponym: a village, like many others, got a name on its owner. The nickname of the sparrow was most likely due to the appearance of a person (so could be called a small, low person) or some notable features of his character, behavior.
It is necessary to simply eliminate the widespread error in relation to the nominal word sparrow, the name of the bird. For some reason, the version was widespread that this unwashed, constantly looking for me to feed the birds was considered before (but where is the sparrow to compare with the crowns and forty?). That's why the phrase "thief - Bay!" Allegedly turned over time in the word Sparrow. In fact, it is a typical "folk etymology", which has nothing to do with the genuine history of the word Sparrow. "In Slavic languages, its analogues are known associated with the same root: in Ukrainian - Gorobets, Belarusian - Veraba, Bulgarian - Worbec, Serbo-Croatian - Ekrubac, Czech - Vrabec, Polish - Wrobel, etc. Academician N. M. Shansky, one of the authors of the "etymological dictionary of the Russian language", believes that the word Sparrow is an invalid Russian, that is, Well in Russian with the help of suffix - and (\u003e -th) from the same basis as the Slavic names of this bird of the Polish Wrobel type. The scientist believes that the Slavs since ancient times so called the bird on her tweet of a sound-resistant basis in the words of Sparrow, Vorobushki, The Sparrow is the same as in the Word Covers. Recall that the basis of this verb, as the verb to grumble, was the wonderful Word Word. In Russian dialects, the Word Warcot with suffix, formed by the type of common and not less an ancient noun root. The Word Word itself is ancient Russian EHRK, which arose from the sound-powered root of the Var- and suffix -k.
Not only in the name of the temple of the Trinity of the Library "on the Sparrow Mountains" and the Sparrow Mountains themselves came to this day ancient toponym village Vorobyevo. In this part of the capital there is a Vorobyevskaya embankment, Vorobyevskoe highway, two Vorobjevsky drives. The right of the experts of the literary places of the capital K. Starodub, V. Emelyanova and I. Krausov, who draw the attention of readers to the fact that the writers of various schools and trends, addressed to the image of Moscow, were one in one: Vorobyov Mountains invariably tuned them to poetic way, And significant, bright events that define the fate of the heroes were sometimes associated with this place of Moscow. The green array of sparrow mountains by the nature of vegetation occupies an intermediate position between the city park and the forest park. Vorobyev Mountains are almost in the city center: from here, 5.5 km is located Kremlin and 13 km - the ring road - the city border.
The green array has limited sizes of its area and extends the curved arc in the form of a narrow strip (width to 0.5 km) by 3.5 km along the Right Bank of the Moscow River. From the south-west, he is bored by Vorobyevsky highway (Kosygin Street) with a lively movement of motor vehicles. The tense motorway, connecting the avenues of Vernadsky and Komsomolsky. Here were built on the fundamental granite and concrete embankments along the riverbed of the Moscow River, the skiing rivers and lifts, the Escalator staircase gallery, metro, metro, sports bases, asphalt roads and tracks were built. All this led to a violation of plant cover. Natural biocenoses are changed as a result of decorative and park works. In many areas, planting of trees and shrubs are made, alleys are arranged, flower beds and flower beds. ... But, nevertheless, there are many sections of natural forest with huge old trees, wetlands and swamp in the sparrow mountains.
The green array of sparrow mountains exists from a long time. Mention of him is known from the 15th century. Then this area was far from Moscow. At the beginning of the 20th century, it turned out to be closely close to the city, held according to the current inner ring road. But not all times on the sparrow mountains remained a green array, forest grew. Mass construction has never been conducted here. Forest did not boil and under agricultural needs.
The green array survived on the sparrow mountains for the following reasons. First, here is a large drop of the elevation of the relief. At a distance of 300-500 m from the river bed, the rise reaches 70 m. Such a cool lifting of the right side of the valley is particularly contrasting compared to low, flat left-bank. From here and the name of the local right-bank is the mountain. The height difference and steep slopes prevented and interfere with the laying of roads and the construction of houses. But since in Moscow there are areas of the slope, built-up with multi-storey buildings - it cannot serve as the main reason.
Vorobyev Mountains is one of the three undeveloped areas where natural vegetation has been preserved in one degree or another. In all these areas, landslide processes are intensively proceeded and it is impossible for any construction, and if it is conducted, then only under the condition of very large and expensive geological and engineering works. All these landslide processes are located on the right bank of the river and have approximately the same length (about 3.5 km each).
The sparrows of the mountains were formed as a result of the river the heat station by the heat station. Its slopes addressed to the river are complicated by landslides, which, with the separation of landslide bodies, gave the character of the ledge.
Based on the sparrow mountains, black Jurassic clay. They serve waterproof. Therefore, their surface is often wet and slippery. According to it, the closure of the overlying thickness occurs. Jurassic clays first could be seen in the outcrops of the water riva. After the construction of embankments, it was impossible to observe them. Above Jurassic clays, the gray clay sands of Verkhneursky age lie. Indigenous breeds are blocked by the thickness of quaternary deposits. They are represented by moraine and fluviogelation sands, as well as deluvial sediments. Manese loams with boulders can be seen at different heights on the slopes of the mountains. This is due to their location in the composition of the overturned landslide bodies. Usually they serve as sole of broken waterproofs. They are confined to the exits of underground and groundwater in the form of permanent springs and sources. They are quite a lot on the slopes. Some of them take the beginning of small streams.
Numerous landslides complicate the root slope of the Moscow River Valley. They form a few landslide rice (from two to five to different sites slope). The largest landslide bodies reach a height of 15 m. When driving down the slope, such landslide masses produce ground intake before the landslide sole in the form of shafts or bugrov. Above the surface of the landslide masses rise steep walls of the breakdown. They separate the flat surface of the sparrow mountains from landslide and make it difficult to descend to the river. This circumstance to some extent protects the forest massif from overloading by people and contributes to its preservation.
The landslide dismemberment of the slope is accompanied by the formation different species Natural complexes attaches special painting and variety of sparrow mountains. In the basins that were formed between the landslide walls, there are areas of wetlands and overwhelmed lands and even small lakes. On the shores, they are dense thickets and alder. Some landslides until recently were movable, so in many areas old trees are tilted, forming the so-called "drunk forest".

The movement of landslides, both in the past, and in our days prevents construction, destroys the erected buildings. In the last century, on the slopes of Sparrow Mountains began to build the Church of Christ the Savior to commemorate the victory over Napoleonic troops. Soon the construction was discontinued, including due to the destruction of landslides of the laid foundations. In 1959, an escalator gallery-lift was built on the slopes of the mountains near the metro station "Leninsky Mountains". Now it is closed due to damage caused by landslide moving.
The buildings of research institutes, residential buildings, government hotels are located above the rifling of the slope. In order to slow down and stop the landslide processes, the concrete wall along the banks of the river is constructed. It protects the slopes from the arms and thereby supports the gone of landslide bodies in a stable state. The landslides are permanent surveillance. Special references are installed from the top of the slope to the bed, which record any movement of landslide bodies.
On the steep slopes of the sparrow mountains preserved sections of the deciduous forest. They grow old and young limes, oaks, elms, maples with a typical undergrowth of Oshness. Their growth contributes abundant groundwater, which, passing through the chalk sands, is enriched with compounds of potassium, phosphorus and calcium. In herbal cover, the essays are common, sick, goose bow with the populations of the early annestrial primroses. In the spring, the aroma of flowering cherry bloom. Forest birds are nesting in secluded places: Slavka-Chernogolovka, Gorichvostka, foam. Near Ryabin are located the colonies of drosses. There are a rapid and small motley woodpecker, many starvation. On old trees with spreader crowns there are Voronene nests. In the spring, it is often possible to hear the rapid trills of the nightingale. And all this inside the city, in the immediate vicinity of thousands of racing machines.
Preservation of a green array of sparrow mountains contribute to the river and relap features. The river serves as reliable protection from the North side, and from the south-west an insurmountable obstacle for machines, as well as an obstacle for people is a steep cliff of the top of the slope. Above its engines passes an asphalt pedestrian walkway, scattered by trees. It offers magnificent views of the panorama of Moscow. Therefore, many holidaymakers are limited to walks on this track and do not descend to the forest park. The best way The protection of vegetation from destroying and degradation is to create well-maintained pedestrian paths with a solid coating. In the Vorobyevsky green massif, their many with a total length of about 10-12 km. A wide walking road was laid directly along the bed. It passes along the embankments built in 1958-1964. Closer to rail bridgesThe green array is closed on both sides, high reinforced concrete embankments are created on the pile base. Outside, they are decorated with decorative granite with openwork metal fences. In the middle part of the radiation, the support reinforced concrete piles are hidden under water. The coastal strip here is reinforced with cellular reinforced concrete plates. The slopes and space of the plate in the stoves are covered with turden. As a result, extensive green lawns are suitable close to water and gradually pass up into green lawns. In calf summer days Many people are resting here.
The most picturesque asphalt and soil trails are whimsically argued by landslide ridges, hollows and between them. These trails are laid in the middle part of the park. Along the foot of a high steep indigenous slope stretch the most shady tracks. It is especially quiet here, cool, and in some places they are simply raw from those who are cultivated from the slopes of water and springs. All these trails dispersed resting and thereby saves vegetation from pulling and degradation.
A tour of the Vorobyev Mountain is convenient to start from the Leninsky Prospect Metro Station. From the station you can quickly reach the monument to Yu. A. Gagarin. Monument is installed on the Square of the same name. Here Muscovites enthusiastically met the world's first astronaut after his star triumph. The monument was opened in 1980. It is a silver column with a height of 38 m, made of titanium. The column symbolizes the fiery cable of the cosmic rocket, which ascended the 14-meter figure of the first cosmonaut. The center of the monument shows a launch mine from which the rocket breaks into space. Silver ball represents Gagarin spacecraft layout. The author of the monument is sculptor P. I. Bondarenko. If you come close to the column and take a look up on the sculpture figure of Gagarin, the effect will be stunning: against the background of moving clouds there is an illusion of the take-off of the astronaut in the sky.
From the monument to Gagarin, the tour route continues to the building of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences (now it contains the administrative services of the Academy of Sciences of Russia and the office of commercial banks). The building amazes modern constructions, magnificent decoration of glass facades, stylized science symbols, bronze sculptures.
According to the courtyard of the building of the presidium, it is necessary to enter the platform located above the 30-meter cliff of the steep indigenous slope of the Moscow River Valley. From here opens a wide picturesque panorama of her valley. To the right in the northeast direction in the foreground above the river, "Elegant steel arc of the Andreevsky Bridge of the Intorgorodsky Ring railway. This bridge was built in 1905-1907. Behind him, on the right high bank of the river, the magnificent green Boring Garden. Horizon closure chain suspension designs Crimean bridge and silhouettes of towers and temples of the Kremlin. Left in the western direction are brutal; The slopes of the forest park Sparrow (Leninsky) mountains. The towers of the Moscow State University are tested above them. M. V. Lomonosov, the design of a large ski jump, the Golden Dome of the Trinity Church, built in the former village of Vorobyevo at the beginning of the century. Opposite the site of the distant horizon, the golden dome and the high bells of the Novodevichi Monastery are closed (in a straight line to it about 2 km).
The Building of the Presidium is delivered effectively and winning in landscape: above the high obscuration of the valley of the river. Of all the windows of the building offer magnificent views of the valley and the city. It is known that the constant perception of wide expanses and beautiful landscapes Beneficially affects human mental activity. The building itself became a noticeable dominant over the Valley of the Moscow River, enriched her silhouette. In the process of building the building, the presidium had to carry out complex hydrogeological works to prevent landslide processes and secure it. Therefore, the construction was delayed for many years.

At the foot of the steep indigenous slope of the valley next to the building of the Presidium are the buildings of the Andreevsky monastery. It was founded in the middle of the XVII century. It creates the first Moscow School, where Greek, Latin and Slavic grammar, philosophy and oratory - rhetoric were studied. Here worked foreign books into Russian. In the monastery also contained street children. At the end of the XVIII century. The monastery was closed. From the presidium building to the monastery you can go down the stairs and inspect the preserved buildings. In the center there is a resurrection church (the end of the XVII century), the Church of John the Bogoslev (XVIII century), the noteworthy church of Andrei Prattylate (XVII century) and the corps are coherent. The external facades of the garment church are lined with bright colored tiles characteristic of Russian architecture XVII in.
Further, the route of the excursion should continue along the river upstream. FROM west The monastery is a pond. It is raised over the embankment for 8-10 m. Rising to the pond, you can vise the entire panorama of the monastery, old trees on the slopes of the mountains, the uneven surface of the landslide buggers. From the pond route leads towards the metro station. It is best to go along the paths laid on the lower tier of landslide. From here, a sports park Luzhniki is visible on the left bank of the river. Above this part sports Park Allocated with its original architecture the sports hall "Friendship". The huge round tent-roof of the hall relies on the wedges of concrete supports. The building resembles a crab made to the run. There is no column inside the hall, which made it possible to place a platform-arena size in 1764 m2.

The right bank is clearly visible a system of landslide varnishes, covered with thickets of wide trees, plots of "drunken forest", small lakes and swamps in basins between landslide walls. Having reached the bunk metro, you need to turn left and on the asphalt path to climb to the foot of the steep indigenous slope of the valley. Through the path it is necessary to pass about 500 m in the opposite direction to the staircase, laid up the steep slope. On this segment, you can see old limes, oaks and malls growing along the indigenous slope, as well as on landslide grouse. Some of the springs are located, the slopes and murmur crushes are considered. In the outcrops of the indigenous slope, brown loams with boulders (moraine) and layered loams with sand baits are visible (delueli). The track crosses the reference profile. Low iron columns are driven into the surface of the indigenous slope and landslide bodies in a straight line. For each reference, the height above the river cut and the distance from its bed. If landslides come into motion, these indicators will change. With the help of references, you can judge the intensity of landslide processes and to take protective measures in a timely manner.
The staircase brings to the old Barsky estate. It belonged alternately by the princes of Dolgorukov, Yusupov, Count Dmitriev-Mamonov. In 1910, the estate was acquired by the City Duma for the Park Device. The Palace of the XVIII century was preserved to this day, rebuilt in the XIX century. Famous Moscow architect D. I. Livydi. A two-story palace building decorate colonnade, light turrets, balconies and terraces. The house is surrounded by Park, arranged at the end of the XVIII century.
Before the building there are flower beds and landing of lilac. Now in the estate is the Institute of Chemical Physics. After examination of the estates, you should go through the Vorobyev highway about 0.5 km to the bridge over Vernadsky Avenue. The majestic panorama of Moscow opens from the bridge. Over the forest park, river and sports park, Luzhniki passes a bridge-overpass with a total length of 1.5 km. A huge flow of vehicles and trains of the metro move on it over green arrays of the forest park of Sparrow Mountains, above the river and the park of Luzhniki, almost without disturbing their natural conditions.

The panorama of the Komsomolsky Prospect is closed on the horizon towers and domes of the Kremlin's cathedrals. The distance from Vorobjevsky highway to the Kremlin is about 6 km. From the bridge, it is very clearly seen what avenue is. Latin word "prospekt" in the literal translation means "view". Indeed, Komsomolsky Prospect opens a beautiful view of the central part of the city. In urban planning, prospectus is customary to call a direct wide street in the city with a multi-row transport movement. All these qualities are fully answered by Komsomolsky Prospect. Vorobyevsky highway, the Komsomolsky Prospect goes to Vernadsky Avenue, forming the most important motorway of the city with a length of about 13 km. Since 1986, it has since 1986, after the construction of a bunk bridge over the Moscow River, connects the center of Moscow with a southwestern district of the city.
Near the bridge, on the left side of the Vorobyev highway are the park and building of the Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren, built in 1962 (now the Palace of Schoolchildren and Youth Creativity). The palace consists of 11 buildings in which there are 400 rooms, dozens of rooms and laboratories, theaters, concert halls, planetarium, observatory, winter garden, indoor swimming pool. A children's stadium was built in the park. There is a lake where you can do water sports. Previously, there was a dump in the park. Now thousands of decorative trees and shrubs are planted on the territory of a total area of \u200b\u200babout 50 hectares, lawns and flower beds are arranged, laid tracks among Alley.
Near the Vorobyev highway at the main entrance to the park, a monument to the literary hero - a boy-ki-balchis, brave character of the wonderful story of Arkady Gaidar "Military Mystery". Not far from the monument is the 55-meter Shooting Mast-flagpole. Next to her - main building Children's palace in which the winter garden is arranged. It grow fruitful bananas, bamboo, palm trees and many other exotic trees and shrubs. Golden fish swim in the picturesque pools. Palace Park is adjacent to the forest park of sparrow mountains and increases the total area of \u200b\u200bthe green massif of this area of \u200b\u200bMoscow. Both the park, and the palace are interesting to visit during an excursion to Vorobyev Mountains.
After inspection, the palace should return to the Vorobyevskoye highway and go further on his right side, northwest towards the large ski springboard. A asphalt pedestrian road is laid from the bridge over the steep cliff of the root slope of the valley. Absoring limes, oaks, poplar, elm and maples grow above the slope rising. From the highway, the track is separated by Linden and Ryabina landings. After going about 300-400 m from the bridge, below the clog of the slope can be seen an interesting monument. A granite pylon in the form of two verticals, symbolizing the friendship of young people, two "sprouts", tend to the sun towards the small round platform. The pylon is crowned with two lamps - symbolic images of two revolutionary publications: Almanaci "Polar Star" and the newspaper "Bell". The retaining wall of the monument is lined with gray granite with Bronze bas-reliefs of Herzen and Ogarev.
The monument was installed on the spot, where in 1827 the young men Herzen and Ogarov swore all their lives to devote to the struggle against autocracy. About this day, many years later, he was remembered Herzen: "The sun sits down, the dome was glistened, the city was stable at the unaware space under the mountain, the fresh breeze poured on us, we stood, stood, leaning at each other, and suddenly hugged, swear, in view of the whole Moscow, sacrifice our life to the destiny with us. "
The excursion route can be finished on the sightseeing site, which is located on the highest part of Sparrow (Lenin) mountains in the central part of the emitting of the Moscow River. A skiing springboard was built next to the sightseeing platform. When choosing a place for its structure, the maximum difference of the valley heights was used. Springboard is used not only in winter. In the summer it is covered with a special plastic coating, providing training athletes round year. From the granite parapet opens overview to the entire valley of the Moscow River and the huge panorama of the city. A glacier-gray smisker smog is clearly visible to a clear windless day, which became especially frequent and thick in recent years. Due to the large number of vehicles was able to regularly formed over the center of Moscow.
If you look in the direction of the university, you can see the strongest contrast as an air of different parts of the city: the dirty smoke hangs above the center, and over the southwestern district it is most often clean. On average air over the southwestern district of Moscow and especially over sparrow mountains at about ten times cleaner than in the central and southeastern regions of the city. Sports complex Luzhniki is well seen from Sparrow Mountains. Park and stadiums are on the left low bank of the river. They occupy a flat, aligned surface of the floodplain. First, it was often flooded with spring waters. It was wet meadows and swamps. From wet meadows and the name "Luzhniki" occurs. In the 50s. It was decided to create a large sports complex for all-Union Olympiad. By this time, Luzhnetskaya floodplain remained the only unancast extensive territory in relative proximity to the city center. She was chosen for the construction of the stadium.
In 1955, the construction of the country's largest sports complex began. First of all, in the territory of about 190 hectares produced grounding of the soil to raise the surface level over the river. The soil gradually brought here since 1935, when the first subway tunnels were laid. But this was too little. In 1955. Volume of the supplied soil increased dramatically. He was taken from the bottom of the river with the help of floating dresses. As a result, 3.5 million m3 of the soil moved to Luzhnetsky. The level of floodplains rose on average by 1.5 m. After the recess of the soil, the river was two times wider. Opposite the large sports arena, its width now reaches 250 m. Fruption soil was laid on top of the soil.
Over 40 thousand trees were planted on the float: spruce, limes, maples, birch, rowan, hundreds of thousands of bushes, extensive flowerbeds and lawns are arranged. The park arose quickly, as the trees were planting aged 7 to 50 years. Along the channel built a beautiful granite concrete embankment with cast lattice fence. The steps of the stairs, descending to the water, established bronze sculptural compositions made by the famous Soviet sculptor V. I. Mukhina. Park and stadium built about a year and a half.
From the sightseeing site, the main sports arena of Luzhniki is clearly visible. A bowl is installed above it, where the World Olympiad flashed fire in 1980. The left of the main Arena is the Palace of Sports, which accommodates 13 thousand spectators. Air conditioners are fed into its clean air. In the summer, it is cooled and moistened with the help of artesian water, which comes on wells from 100-meter depth. Wells are drilled on the territory of the Luzhnikov themselves. The brilliant decoration of the panorama of the left bank of the river is the Novodevichy Monastery with its openwork towers, walls and gold domes of temples. Behind the monastery rose CHP pipes. Due to their height, smoke from the pipes rises high above the city, including above the sparrow mountains. He swears over Moscow and dispelled away from her. Before it was not. Low pipes (they survived near high) contributed to pollution of the central part of the city.
Luzhniki rises city blocks. They are located on the inappropriate terraces of the Moscow River. If you look closely, then you can see how the city gradually takes on them from the low shore of the river. In the absence of smog on the horizon, the domes of the Kremlin Cathedrals, the vertices of high-rise buildings, the government building are visible. Above the eastern detonation of the valley (right) the building of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences is towers. Hence the excursion began on the sparrow mountains. Behind him on the horizon is visible openwork outlines of the Shukhov Tower. It was built on the project of an engineer V. G. Shukhov in 1922 to accommodate the transmitting antennas of the first Soviet radio station. The height of the tower is 160 m. On the sparrow mountain viewing area, the excursion can be finished. From here there is a trolley bus station to Leninsky Prospect Metro Station and Kiev Station.
Lookout at the sparrow mountains, perhaps the most famous sightseeing site, from where you can look at the panorama of the capital. What makes numerous guests of the city and the residents of Moscow do not lag behind - the types of from here really worthy of attention. Especially when you know where and what to look at what, all the most iconic points of the city are identified in a whole exciting story.
The playground is part of a sightseeing tour of the city, a favorite place of wedding photographers, a walking avenue for students of Moscow University (whose main building is very close), mothers with wheelchairs, romantic couples and even a long-time place of meeting bikers.
Sparrow Mountains (in Soviet times they were called Leninsky for a long time, and only in 1999 the historical name returned) the right side of the Moscow-River is considered in the south-west of the city. Geographically, this area is quite high (it is considered one of the seven hills on which, as is known, Moscow is worth). The winding river is waves a high hilly coast, nourishes a beautiful forest around, which makes this place with one of the most picturesque areas of the city.
The viewing platform was designed during the construction of a university complex and built with him from 1949 to 1953. The project was led by Vitaly Ivanovich Dolganov, a well-known Soviet architect who took the most active part in the gardening of Moscow and the creation of a landscape-park culture of the city.
Muscovites adore this place in the days of large holidays, when Salutes thunder over the city. At the Sparrow Mountains there is a "Flight Management Center" - the main headquarters, from where they are served by all the salutes of the city. It is great here not only the "local" salute, but also a multidimensional picture, when you simultaneously observe fireworks throughout the city. For the sake of this opportunity, photographers and video operators come here.
Last years, the observation deck has become even more comfortable than before. There are coffee shops on wheels, snack machines. The playground is beautifully illuminated in the dark. The territory is patrolled by the outfit of the police, however, and do not disconnect your vigilance - the multi-million city attracts the most different "characters."
sights
On Vorobyev Mountain makes sense to go at least for two reasons: to look at the sights of Moscow from the height of the flight and relax in nature.
Cableway on Sparrow Mountains
SO observation deck It is excellent seen several embankments - Novodevich and Berezhekovskaya, Vorobyevskaya and Luzhnets, connecting their bridges.
Right behind the stadium are distinguished by multi-colored domes of the church of Vasily blissful, part of the Kremlin's bells can be seen, the power of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Here you can consider another landmark of modern Moscow - a huge figure of Peter I, installed on the Arrow "Red October", the very odious work of Zurab Tsereteli. Immediately in the lumen - the third "Stalin's height" - near the Red Gate, and the famous Medical University named after Sechenov.

The house is familiar to many - he played his important role in the popular Soviet film "Moscow does not believe in tears."
If you move to look further, it is difficult to miss the Shukhov television bag - an incredible engineering project created in the 20s of the last century. At the moment, the tower is practically not used for its intended purpose and left as a historical monument.
Even the right can be found on the Panorama of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences - the height of the 22nd floor, built in the 1990s.

Video: Vorobyov Mountains from height (shot drone), review
Almost all toponyms who are devoted to the head of this multimedia manual, have a special Moscow flavor and inseparable from the very concept of "Moscow": Arbat and Teply Stan, Sretenka and Dog Playground, Prechistenka and Falcon. It is impossible to imagine Moscow and without sparrow mountains.
It is not by chance that this Moscow area was loved by many Russian writers who mentioned her on the pages of their novels, the ages, poems. It is from the sparrow mountains that the widest and most picturesque panorama of the capital opens!
Name Sparrow Hills We find on the pages of works, letters and diaries N. M. Karamzin, M. Yu. Lermontova, F. M. Dostoevsky, L. N. Tolstoy, A. M. Gorky, A. A. Blok and others. So, the Panorama of Sparrow Mountains contributes, according to the plan of Lion Tolstoy, calm in a difficult hour in the soul of Pierre Probrazova: "On everything, and on the distant and in the neighboring items, the magical shine was lying, which only happens at this autumn time. The Vorobyev Mountain was visible in the distance, with an ancient church and a large white house. Both bare trees, sand, and stones, and roofs of houses, and the green spire of the church, and the corners of a long-white house, all this is unnaturally distinctly, the finest lines cut into transparent air. "
And another classic of Russian literature, who had no less acute artistic perception of the surrounding world, the poet Alexander Blok noticed somehow: "Paris with Montmartre is not what Moscow is with Sparrow Mountains."
To fully analyze toponym Sparrow Hills, Turn again to the book I. E. Relinina "History of the city of Moscow".
"Moscow, indeed, lies" on the mountains and valleys ", but these mountains and valleys have been applied actually from the flows of her rivers and rivers. In essence, in the general outlines, Moscow is mostly occupied by an even terrain that foreign travelers have noticed in the XVI century. In her feature there are no such passages, which are, for example, in its nearest surroundings under the name "Poklonnaya Mountains". Mountains and hills of Moscow are the high shores of her rivers; Valley and swamps - lowlands, meadow their shores; Thus, these mountains will be the mountains only in a relative sense. Kremlin - Mountain in relation to Zamoskvoretia, as the terrain of Ilinki or Barbarka - Mountain in relation to lowland charge; MAROSEKA - in relation to Slander (sulfice); But also the Kremlin, and Ilyinka, and the Mossee of the essence of even places in relation to Sretenka, Myasnitskaya, etc.. "..
What Sparrow Hills actually - special the mountainsnot related to the most common in Russian meaning of this word (according to intelligent dictionaries, the mountain is "significant elevation rising above the surrounding area"), figuratively beat in his poem, which is called - "Vorobyev Mountains", the poet Appolot Maikov :
Professor E. M. Murzaev, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, a well-known domestic specialist in toponymics and national geographical terms, studying the toponym of Moscow, described the terms of the capital popular in the geographical names sloboda, field, shore, dirt, garden, gate, Val. other. Analyzed E. M. Murzayev and those names in which the term entered mountain. The complexity of the researcher caused (like many others) the answer to the question: what to count the mountain, that the hill? "Kremlin hill, a flat surface of the cliff of Leninsky Mountains (this article E. M. Murzayev was published in 1985. - M. G.). And where is the mountain in the microdistrict of the Sokolina Mountain? In the toponymy of Moscow, the word "Mountain" is often found, giving birth to various models. It often appears in a decreasing form - a hill. Some list: Vladykina Street; Krasnogorsk passages around the terrain of a red hill; Podgorskaya embankment and the street is a good slide (in the past just a slide); Nagorn streets; Boulevard, alleys, Trigger Tree street and three-mountain alley. Many streets of a falcon mountain marked by numbers. Finally, let us recall all the famous Leninsky Mountains, from where a wide panorama of the capital opens. This name appeared in 1935 and changed the sparrows of the mountains. "
I will say right away: about the exact date, the replacement of toponym Vorobyevmountains on the name Lenin's mountains In scientific and reference literature there are discrepancies. Professor E. M. Murzayev calls 1935; The author of articles and books about the "Toponymic Lenanian" I. A. Erofeev believes that rename was produced in 1924; The same date is indicated in the solid reference publication - the Moscow Encyclopedia, and the Moscow Archivists, the compilers of the "Pointer of the streets of Moscow 1917-1982". In his edition show that toponym Lenin's mountains Officially appeared on the map of Moscow in 1936. One thing is unquestioned - the name of the Leninsky Mountains was part of the vast Moscow Toponymic Lenenian, where Ilyica and Tulinskaya Street, Ulyanovskaya Street and Leninsky Avenue, Leninskaya Square and Leninskaya Sloboda Street, Electromechanical Plant. V. I. Lenin, dozens of others, including even a chairlist factory. V. I. Lenin (she received its name in 1936).
And what do specialists know the names of their own about the history of the pseudonym Leninwho has actually become its main surname? Any secret and underground activity (including revolutionary and terrorist), pursued by the authorities, often causes this activity, the need to live, work, published under the fictional, fake names, patronymic and surnames. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov had more than a hundred; He often signed his articles by pseudo-primilation, as well as the names of K. Tulin, Petrov, Karpov, K. Ivanov, R. Silin and others. For the first time signature Leninit was used by the thirty-year-old revolutionary in 1901 in the letter of V. Plekhanov. In December of the same year signature Lenin Appeared in print. After October 1917, the head of the Bolsheviks party and the new state signed all the documents, articles, the books of its real name, but added its main pseudonym to it in brackets - V. Ulyanov (Lenin). By the way, before 1918 he subscribed not V. Lenin, but N. Lenin - Obviously, in connection with the conspiratory nickname Nikolai.
So far, it remains unclear why V. I. Lenin chose himself this particular pseudonym. What lies in its basis: an ordinary nominal word, any other name or name? Lenin's wife was asked both the question of Lenin - N. K. Krupskaya. She answered him in 1924 in the party press like this: "Dear comrades! I do not know why Vladimir Ilyich took the pseudonym "Lenin", never asked him about it. His mother called Maria Alexandrovna, the deceased sister was called Olga. Lena events were already after he took this alias. On Lena in the link he was not. Probably a pseudonym was chosen by chance. "
And yet, modern researchers have an argumental assumption. Signature Lenin In a letter, V. Plekhanov Ulyanov could choose by analogy with one of Plekhanov's pseudonyms - Volgin (which was based on the name of the Great Russian River Volga). Pseudonym Plekhanova Volgin appeared in 1896. If the hypothesis is true, then the alias Lenin associated with the title of the Great siberian river Lena.
True, there is another version. Her authors also believe that the pseudonym Lenin It happened from the name of the river to Siberia, but it allows that at the same time the influence of the name of the famous agronomist and public figure S. N. Lenin could have affected. His articles, Vladimir Ulyanov, has repeatedly quoted in his works, could also borrow a real surname - for his pseudonym. In any case, it is worth recalling that neither the names of the largest political figures, nor the fact of their existence and activities, no one from the history of the country to delete: such an installation is just as meaningless, how dangerous. It can be reminded to people who would like to withdraw V. I. Lenin in general from the history of Russia. The tragedy to which the experiment of Lenin and his party over Russia, her nations, is the topic of another conversation.
Now will return to the history of the Moscow area you are interested in and its name returned from non-existence - Sparrow Hills. More than a hundred years ago, in 1887, the "Guide in Moscow and its neighborhood" wrote: " Sparrow Hills. Travel. Steamer Going 8 times a day and back from the ditch, 20 kopecks. per person; the second way from the Kaluga Ocloz, and from there 3 versts; The road to the cottage of Mamonova Highway, and then clay, primer. Trinity day, during the temple holiday, folk walk. The restaurant is near the river, the second up, on the mountain where you can get a pickup pipe. "
The Trinity Temple of the Liberal, Mentioned in the Guide (he saw him and Pierre Duhov, in the above passage from the novel "War and Peace"), like most Moscow Orthodox temples, had and continues to have a second - clarifying location - part of the name: Temple of the Trinity Library on Sparrow Mountains. It preserved to this day, happily escaped the bitter fate of many other closed, destroyed or rebuilt temples of Moscow. The temple was built here in vorobyevaya villageSomething and gave the name to this high bank of the Moscow River, in 1811 and therefore can serve as one of the examples of classicism in the Moscow Temple Architecture. On the eve of the famous Council in films, which has already been told in our manual in connection with the history of toponym Fil, M. I. Kutuzov prayed here, on the sparrow mountains, in the temple of the Trinity of the Library. Before him, in Vorobyev, there was an older Trinity Church - from 1644, and the Vorobyevsky temple was known even earlier, because the village of Vorobyevo was officially considered Selo..
About the village Vorobyev is not known too much. It is important that it was one of the oldest settlements in the vicinity of Moscow: Vorobyevo was bought by the princess of Sofia Vitovoven - this happened no later than 1453, since in 1453 Sophia, the daughter of the Grand Prince Lithuanian Vitovt and his wife (in 1390-1425) of the Great Prince of Moscow Vasily I, died. It was an unusual woman: in the youngster of the son, Vasily II, Sophia Vitovovna successfully managed the principality, actively participated in the fight against the specific princes, and in 1451 he managed the defense of Moscow from the Tatars. Since the acquisition of the princes Sophia, Vorobyevo became palace - high-chain, and then the royal summer residence. According to P. V. Sotina, the Great Princess bought for himself a village from a certain nickname sparrow. From here it becomes clear the origin of toponym: a village, like many others, got a name on its owner. Nickname Sparrowmost likely it was associated with the appearance of the former owner of the village (this could be called a small, low person) or some notable features of his character, behavior.
It is easy to eliminate a common mistake in relation to a none sparrow, bird names. For some reason, the version was widespread that this unwashed, constantly looking for me to feed the birds was considered before (but where is the sparrow to compare with the crowns and forty?). That's why the phrase "Thief - Bay!" allegedly turned over time sparrow. In fact, this is a typical example of "folk etymology", having nothing to do with the genuine history of the word sparrow. In Slavic languages, its analogues are known associated with the same root: in Ukrainian - gorobets, Belarusian - veraba, Bulgarian - worker Serbohorvatsky - Ekrubac, Czech - vrabec, Polish - wr. ó bel.etc. Academician N. M. Shansky, one of the authors of the "etymological dictionary of the Russian language," believes that the word sparrow - original Russian, i.e., arising directly in Russian with the help of suffix --I. (>-to her) From the same basis as the Slavic names of this bird type Polish wrabel.The scientist believes that the Slavs since ancient times called the bird in her tweet: a sound-resistant basis in words Sparrow, Sparrow, Sparrow same as in the word coo. Recall that the basis of this verb, as well as the verb grumble, served as the word now WORD. In Russian dialects a word is known warcot With suffix -fromformed by the type of common and no less ancient noun bolt. Same word WORK - This is ancient Russian bakrarmed from a sound-powered root vio and suffix -K.
Not only in the name of the temple of the Trinity of the Library "on the Sparrow Mountains" and the Sparrow Mountains themselves came to this day ancient toponym vorobyevo village. In this part of the capital there is a Vorobyevskaya embankment, Vorobyevskoe highway, two Vorobjevsky drives.
The rights of the literary places of the capital K. Starodub, V. Emelyanova and I. Krausov, who draw the attention of readers to the fact that the writers of different schools and directions appealed to the image of Moscow were one were in one: Vorobyov Mountains invariably tuned them to poetic way, And significant, bright events that define the fate of the heroes were sometimes associated with this place of Moscow.
