2. This overview about the complex of tenement houses at the address. Soljanka d. 1/2, and the legendary dungeon historical system located underneath. History of the quarter goes to the origin of the street name. Around the XVII century, at the corner of the present street. Solyanka and st. Zabelin was built a huge, on those standards, stone building with a commercial trade pavilions and a large courtyard. Place in a short time has gained popularity among residents and received in the "people" called "Salt fish yard." Shopping malls have repeatedly rebuilt and expanded, but in the absence of comprehensive repair dilapidated over time. Merchants Company repurchased fully hydrochloric yard, which by the beginning of the twentieth century was falling apart, as each location owned by a particular owner and the local council could not collect from each means of repair of the building (a typical situation for the shopping malls of the time, the same situation were The top number of a trade)

3. In 1913 the yard was completely razed to the foundations and at the site of the former Salt rows of high-rise apartment buildings built for the Moscow Merchant Society in the neoclassical style. Under the houses were built spacious cellars with high arches. Interesting fact - strengthening old foundations required huge funds, so the layout of the cellars in some places did not change. The main difference from the old cellars of the current - no sectional division. In the courtyard of salt each shop had its own fenced off cellar.
Initially, spacious premises used for household and food stores, but later settled here underground garages and workshops for the needs of the Ministry of Interior. However, due to increased moisture, the dungeon were thrown over time. Vacant cellars become the habitat of looters and robbers car. In the former underground garages understood stolen from the streets of the city cars and motorcycles. After coming back adjustment system it was abandoned and gradually gets cluttered with trash, exported here from the street and from the heat a little - the negligence of public services - communication here a long time have not been repaired.

Recently, the whole complex of apartment buildings do thorough. Operations were performed on all measurements of space and then based on these re-created the exact layout of the complex. The next step was to strengthen existing structures and relining outdated communications. Who are the major work on the surface - being restored facades.



4. In the early 2000s about the cellars suddenly remembered, and even showed a series of reports on television. From that time began a new sheet of history - caused a stir among the dungeon newly "researchers", with a light hand received a laconic name "Solyanka". It has repeatedly gathered groups of young people and even arranged illegal squats. Accumulated over decades of waste than once ignited drunken teenagers, thereby causing outrage residents of neighboring houses. Around the year 2008 peaked a disgrace - the last straw was arson smoke signal. Management bodies have been taken drastic measures. The system virtually mothballed embedded numerous descents to the lower floors of homes and a hole in the street.
For years, the cellars are difficult to access for illegal visit. Recently I was able to visit the updated "Solyanka". What I saw is very different from the state in 2008, when the system was a stench and dampness and dust in some places reached nearly to the vaults. Galleries dramatically cleaned up, reinforced vaults and shifted communication. Part of the space is now enabled for the storage professional. technology, and in all the major galleries running lights.
