Dark spots on the map of Moscow
Guests of the capital Moscow appears beautiful, full of life and movement of the city. But there is in this city and truly terrible place, with its grim history. Such I want to tell this poste.
Patriarch's Pond (metro station "Mayakovskaya")
Once the area is located between the current Tver Boulevard and gardens, on the one hand, and between the Tver and Little Nikita, on the other hand, was a vast wasteland, where goats graze. Ponds, respectively, called Goat swamp. From time to time people noticed that something was wrong: there are among his pet black goat. And when he zateshetsya herd goats milk disappear, and if it black goat will go into the goal - expect a corpse. And the shepherds decided that it was the devil in the form of a goat was: it was not afraid of this animal no shouts, no whip, only sign of the cross at times it was possible to drive away.
And then the shepherds asked for help from the patriarch: deliver us from evil forces, and we will be your best goat hair supply. Swamp drained, the patriarch consecrated formed ponds, and called them the Patriarchal. But to this day the old woman did not advise Moscow after sunset walk alone in these ponds. So Bulgakov did not accidentally "arranged" meeting here of Soviet Writers Woland.
Marina roscha
One of the most sinister places in Moscow since ancient times - Marina Grove. Historians say that its name comes from the village lying here once Marino. Most of them are inclined to think that all people's speculations related to the sentimental tale Zhukovsky. People still are of the opinion that this area is called by the name of its tacit "Queen" - Marya robber, who lived in the local woods.
Glory at Marina groves in the middle of the XIX century was that again: Gypsies lived here, lived most of Moscow thieves and bandits were "miserable house" for the dregs of society. Mass celebrations on Mermaid week, the center of which was anciently Marina Grove, transformed into lush booze. Did not contribute to a positive perception of closeness Sushchevsky and Lazarev cemetery, where, incidentally, carts were brought corpses in Morov periods, and at the usual time - unidentified bodies killed.
Researchers are still arguing that it was the primary - the story of Zhukovsky or folk legends. But one of the legends says that in feudal times lived somewhere in the neighborhood girl Mary and lackey Ilya. Love them was unhappy, and Ilya eventually became chieftain robber band. As a result, Maria and Ilya settled in the dugout in the forest. And Mary was a famous healer and witch. There has been a lot of her people in Moscow, including the rich, which is sure to fall into the hands of Elijah. According to another legend in these parts riot gang Manka Rostokinskiy. But, be that as it may, the popular consciousness links the name Marina Grove exclusively with gangsters, murderers and corpses. Fall here in the dark is not recommended.
Prechistenka
Since ancient times, this area was notorious, so for a long time and called it "Chertolye." But in the middle of the fourteenth century are famous for their good works Alekseevskoy convent abbess Juliana, who created the monastery female hostel. Otmolit and cleared his exploits and the writings of nuns that place, and it was clean, if not a saint. But after four years - in 1839 - the Emperor Nicholas I decided to build on the site Alekseevskogo convent church of Christ the Savior. According to legend, the abbess and nuns all, leaving the monastery, cursed this place, saying that nothing is holy will never, and will be here Chertolye - hell expanse. The subsequent history of this place is well known - the church was blown up during the Soviet era, to make way for the construction of the Palace of Soviets. Palace of the Communists could not build: built pool "Moscow».
Today this place is restored Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Believers claim that it was good: the more people will pray in the church and the forgiveness of her sins of others, the more likely it will clear the place of the curse. But while saying that it is not necessary to make the young Christ the Savior Cathedral wedding ceremony: family life is heavy and not very happy.
Cursed House (metro station "Arbat»)
About the house 14 on the Arbat said if he stands in the place that "every living thing in the earth pulls." This house built by Prince Obolensky (in another version - Prince Khilkov). Frightened by bad luck, the owners rent it for rent. First, there lived a colonel with his beautiful wife, who ran away from him with the artist. Colonel hanged himself with grief. Then he took off his official house: a month later his wife and all five children found strangled. The building was empty for a long time. In Soviet times, it housed institutions and warehouses, and now at this place a wasteland.
Peter (Old) Mountain (metro station "Skhodnenskaya")
In the fourteenth century, standing on Mount Transfiguration Monastery, which by now no traces. And indeed on the slopes of now there are no buildings. According to an old legend, once asked the monks for the night visiting merchants, who were afraid of robbers. And those they were not allowed. The next morning trading people found in a grove, near the monastery walls, "beaten and without product." And then one survivor merchant wished monks "fail." Since then allegedly monastic land and other lands in the vicinity of the Old Mountain began to settle, and no matter what people have built here, everything was ashes.
It is at this place was once the town False Dmitry II, known in history as the Tushino thief.
Now this place looks like a hole from falling meteorite. In the Soviet era, tried to arrange the residents of neighboring houses are gardens, so abandoned. Chosen one time of Peter the mountain for their flight gliders. Yes, too, then left: there were too many injuries.
Elm suicide
In Kuzminskoye park on the shore of the pond overgrown tree stands sinister - the age-old elm. He is known as the tree of death. They say it constantly finding hanged. In addition, she lived at the beginning of the XX century in Kuzminkah Witch - as usual, a victim of unrequited love. Brewed potions, spells whispered ... In the 50s she had disappeared. Since then, neither alive nor dead nobody saw.
Magic Watch (metro station "Red Gate")
These sundials are on at number two on Spartakovskaya street, which is known as the home of Count Musin-Pushkin. According to legend, these watches made famous magician and magician James Bruce for the previous owners of the house. And those, they say, a good laugh over it. Bruce then angry: "Let those hours be damned, and let them show only the bad." And before the first and second world wars, before the revolution - became a stone from which the board made the hour, blood-red.
Even say that sometimes emerges on the surface of hours an image of a white cross on a black grave, and the tip of the cross shows where to find the treasure. Said to have been desperate people who find a treasure on Bryusov pointer, but only "very soon die a horrible death».
Kuntsevo

On the western edge of the park Kuntsevskiy between two flowing into the Moscow River ravines, is a tall, prominent headland to the river. It had traces of settlements X-XI centuries - Kuntsevskiy settlement.
The ruins with fragments of stone tools centuries frightened local farmers. There was a pagan temple, then - the cemetery, from which still remained fragments of tombstones. One of them - "baba" - the most famous, it is similar to the outline of a human figure. Before "baba" stood in the hollow of a huge elm tree, then it dried up and fell, and the "old woman" was moved to the manor garden. And, they say, there was a church, which is completely left the ground with a cross in a single night.
Net prudy
Once there flowed clean little river. But it was brought into a monster and made a dam - "filthy puddle." Monster drags and eats birds and small children. To appease him, throwing innards pets. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, merchants settled here, called filthy puddle ponds and throwing her leftover meat and manure. The name "Pure ponds" gave reservoirs Prince Menshikov, a close associate of Peter I. He ordered them to clean, banned dumping sewage. But when Menshikov hit the link, there were rumors that the monster of revenge. And since then, beware of Muscovites take water from clean ponds, and bathe in them.
