Locator and Country Grebnevo

The author writes, frantsouzov:

On Monday, we left Moscow with a plan to visit a couple of objects that are far away from Fryazino.





2. A few kilometers through the forest we made our way down the road from the concrete slabs with the remnants of asphalt. At the end of the road were the remnants of the gate and check point. Leaving the car here, go through the half-open shutter and find ourselves on the territory of the military unit.



3. A couple of hundred meters on a paved path - and it becomes clear that there is life in the facility. Somewhere nearby I heard a low hum of transformers, and the distance you can see the two-story guard shack with large windows on both sides of which were installed floodlights, for some reason, the light of the day.
Hiding behind trees, we have gone further.



4. We pass by the tower about 60 meters long, standing nearby. Above found some equipment.



5. And here is the main purpose of our trip - a huge Radar Satellite Communications Center, located on the territory of this part.



6. Since the area around the radar is great view, we decided to go deep into the forest and bypass around the locator. Forest uneasy - is immediately obvious military presence nearby.



7. clearing stumbled upon this beauty. In general, there are a lot of mushrooms.



8. Another tower. As I understand it, for the meteorological equipment.
Then this tower, we heard a loud "quacking", similar to the machines spetssignaly DPS. My first thought - enable the alarm that we are on the territory. It turned out everything is easier - it's screaming at the top of a large crow, but somehow does not "at the Raven."



9. On one of the clearings stumbled upon a circular support structure.



10. Inside the empty cabinets for equipment.



11. downstairs flooded. I wonder how deep it goes and what's down there?



12. Somewhere in the forest there are wells, leaving the ground. Inside, everything is flooded, too.



13. The huge antenna radar.



14. The network has found that its purpose - to send telemetry to high orbit and once it has been used in the Soviet project "Mars".



15. A working transformer station and the remains of the body of a military truck.



16. I hope that the locator does not suffer the same fate.



17. We go around it around. Size matters!



18. The doors and windows are closed. I wonder whether there was in the equipment?



In addition to the territory of engineering structures is a swimming pool for cooling operating equipment, another antenna (such as the used to control Lunokhod) and the underground bunker, which housed the military. But since the main goal was only the main locator, we have decided to leave the area and go further - to the second object.



20. Manor Grebnevo. Since 1781 the village of the same name change hands: this time it goes to Gavril Ilyich Bibikov. That's when it starts to get kind of farmstead, extant.



21. In the 1780-90 biennium. erected the main manor house and a summer Grebnevskoy church. After the death of GI Bibikov in 1803 transferred to the estate of Anna Alexandrovna Galitzine, whose husband, Prince Sergey Golitsyn, since 1817, was up new large-scale construction work.



22. The 1820-30 biennium. built two wings, the ceremonial entrance gate, resembling a triumphal arch, and the winter St. Nicholas Church, consecrated in 1823. The ensemble of the estate finally takes the form extant.



23. In 1845, the estate Golitsyn sell merchant Panteleyev, arranged in vitriolic Manor and Winery, which led to the death of the interiors of the main manor house that has been restored following the owners Grebnevo diligence - merchants Kondrashov, who came from the village of serfs Fryazino.
Here and there on the walls of the old stucco was preserved.



24. In 1913 the manor bought the famous Moscow physician Fyodor Grinevsky, a relative of outstanding Russian writer - Alexander Stepanovich Green. New appointment of the estate - a sanatorium near Moscow, which has to be very helpful in connection with the outbreak of the First World War deprived the Moscow intelligentsia traditional opportunity to go on holiday abroad.



25. With the advent of Soviet power the estate was nationalized and its future has undergone several abrupt and dramatic changes. With each new zigzag destiny Grebnevo losing its historic character: first of all, the interior disappears forever and interiors. In 1919, the walls of the manor arranged a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, then it is replaced Shchelkovsky technical electronic devices, followed by the estate takes the NGO "Sycamore».
The remains of the once luxurious grand staircase. In the upper part you can see three surviving marble steps.



26. In 1960 Grebnevo declared an architectural monument of national importance. It makes several attempts at restoration, and by the end of the 1980s, there is hope for the revival of the estate: its territory is a historical and cultural center, concerts and exhibitions of paintings by famous artists. However, in 1991, when the restoration of the palace nearing completion, under mysterious circumstances it takes fire, destroying not only the interior, but also overlap with the roof, leaving only the bare walls of the burnt ...



27. The overlap in virtually no, survived only a single staircase leading from the second to the third floor.



28. The view from the balcony. Once it has a beautiful apple orchard and path leading to the river.



29. Go up to the third floor.



30. I wonder how everything here looked before?



31. View of the east wing of the estate, he, along with the West is much better preserved than the main house.



32. And there was once a grand staircase.



Attempts to preserve the Palace did not have success, and now he, in fact, already in ruins. Since then, the manor into a state of extreme neglect and abandonment, which remains to this day.
