It was L-shaped building, "leg" which appeared in the middle of the new Congress Krasnokholmsky bridge.
It was decided to move the house, and a short piece, and the length - 86 m and 9 th. Tons to move and expand to 19 degrees.
In 1937, the house was moved on railroad tracks in a week, without the eviction of tenants.
Because of the fragility of island bases trolley left in the basement, not removing them after the surgery done.








The building was new, built in 1929, but its structural rigidity is poor; In addition, the building itself was on the swampy ground in the former floodplain.



Nevertheless, the chief engineer of the trust EM Handel decided to move house.



Site Manager, who commissioned the work, experienced practical engineer, wrote a memorandum to the Department of Housing of the Moscow Soviet in which he called shifting adventure in these conditions.



But Handel stood his ground, he was supported by the other experts and section chief had to resign.



Pulling over. Here you see a house in a new place. During 103 hours of the right wing of the building was moved 53 m 19 cm, left - 33 m 72 cm.



"Transition" is completed successfully. Observers have found in the house no strain.



After moving to the break between the two parts of the house parted built 6-storey box. However, not everything was so smooth, the rights section chief was dismissed, but it backfired almost 35 years ...



50s. Brick insert that will make the explosion has already been built.

And people continued to live here until the 60s, until the explosion occurred. The largest by the number of victims of the explosion of domestic gas in Soviet history. In late December, the capital, as usual, is preparing to celebrate the New Year. The stores already lined up a queue for gifts, sold out in full unchanging attributes of the winter holiday - the Christmas tree. The city lived a pleasant bustle ... preparing for the upcoming holiday and residents five-story building on the street Polina Osipenko. They did not know that all Pre efforts in vain. Many of them were destined to meet the coming year ...

Nightmare happened on December 25 at 21 hour 30 minutes. Not all residents of the house number of the first body 77 at this time sleeping: someone was watching TV one day end up case ... Suddenly, inside the house heard two deafening explosion! And then ... Then, according to eyewitnesses, there was something trudnovoobrazimoe three upper floors of the house separated from the lower structure, climbed up and hung in the air ...! And only then, crashing down, collapsed! All residents of the third, fourth and fifth floors - 147 people - were killed! Some residents threw up a powerful explosion Krasnokholmsky bridge!

The map shows two stump former 77th between them stuck office center.



Here is what the inhabitants of the neighboring, the second building house number 77 on the street ...
Polina Osipenko
Solovyov I.N .: "At this time I was washing. Suddenly the water rose from the bath and splashed with linen. I was thrown and hit the wall. Vspuchilis bathroom floor, the room fell television, refrigerator, dresser. Son struck on the door and thrown into the corridor ... Part of the neighboring housing was destroyed, some blocks thrown in the surrounding streets with residents, people hanging in the trees. One woman with a balcony was cast on the Garden Ring ".



Borisenko AP: "I dumped my chair when I watched TV. Television itself jumped as if someone had flipped. The boards in the floor arched up, chest turned ... I put the boots to go out, and suddenly jolted again ... Glass flew into our house, even on the opposite side of the explosion ... On the street met a man who came and held his head. He said that it was thrown together with a couch from the fifth floor. Some residents threw very far - to Krasnokholmsky bridge ... "



 - One of the first tenants of the housing, for example, down near the bridge, did not receive any damage. But then he died of a heart attack - continues the historian Oleg Panihin. - Have been documented other cases of "soft landing" of residents, dropped a considerable distance. Some people who lived on the ground floor, raised to the ceiling, but the shock wave in their undamaged rooms could not be!



Residential building turned into a pile of rubble. Just set up a special commission, which included representatives of various, including law enforcement, agencies to investigate the causes of the tragedy. During the proceedings, the Commission has put forward several versions: a bomb blast, left over from the war, sabotage, explosion of household gas. Part of the house spread, many wounded were taken to hospitals, and the remaining residents gradually resettled. For several years the house was dilapidated, and then it was given to the offices and institutions. From the letter "G" was only moved a long leg, the rest was not subject to restoration.



The next day came to the ruins of Brezhnev. Impressed, seen in the midst of the ruins of Moscow, Leonid Ilyich actively supported the idea of ​​folding the gasification of houses. It was after the accident on the street Osipenko was decided in all new high-rise buildings (over 9 floors) put only electric stoves.



And now the end of the building is interrupted - no flat wall, weird and polygon. Nearly 70 years after moving Auca its effects: moving the building, part of it for some reason put on the piles, and some - not. Because of this, the house settles unevenly, cracks in the walls, and has recently been recognized subject to demolition. But it is not demolished, enlisted in historical monuments, but the side stuck office center.



A second building was residential. There to this day you can buy a flat ...
