Moscow triangle - damn place capital

Everyone knows about the devilry at the Patriarch, and the horrors of Lubyanka ghost house on the waterfront, but very few people really know about the cursed place, a kind of Bermuda Triangle in the heart of Moscow, between the street and the Butcher Milyutinsky Lane. For many centuries this place has seen all but nothing but the church here is not long delayed. Even now, when the whole center is actively built scary remake, and investors are fighting for every inch of land here in the alleys sad empty eye sockets of windows looks unfinished undeveloped "multi-purpose center." But let's start with the origins.

The area that we now call the Lubyanka, the end of the XV century when Grand Prince Ivan III settled Novgorod. Ivan III, except for the overthrow of the yoke, the wars with the Tartars and Lithuanians also actively fought against the Russian people, subordinating Moscow one Russian land after another. Most forces took in the two Moscow-Novgorod Wars 1470 s, after which the final Novgorod lost its independence. Starorusskaya democracy collapsed under the onslaught of the powerful authoritarian Moscow. To prevent sedition in the newly-lands, by the order of Ivan III of the Novgorod elite were executed and most violently dispersed to other lands controlled by Moscow. Some of the displaced settled in Novgorod region Lubyanka. Even the name itself comes from the region of Novgorod, where there are still street Lubyanitsa, having decreased by the Moscow ground to Lubyanka.

In 1471 in the triangle between Butcher and retreating from it Milyutinsky Lane was built a wooden church of the Holy Martyr Archdeacon Evplov, chmi parishioners and become evicted people of Novgorod to Moscow. By the end of the XVII century the church was rebuilt in stone. It relocated Novgorod carried all their joys and sorrows. To resettle them without warning, without giving the possibility of how to meet, had to settle on an empty place without things. In addition, the relocation began in the late autumn and continued throughout the winter, resulting in many new places to simply not come: cold or died from disease in the road. In this church, and they remembered, they put a candle for the peace, order service. The benefit of the fate of the holy Evplov was something close to the oppressed people of Novgorod by Moscow authorities. Holy Evpl lived in the IV century BC in Catania (Sicily) and was known for his disloyal attitude to, in modern words, the dominant ideology.



He decries paganism, and preached the gospel in the streets. Read - conducted unauthorized pickets, for which he was arrested "bloody regime" and thrown "into prison." Starve the opposition failed, and eventually he was beheaded. In Russia Evplov very honored. It was believed that in his day, August 11, old style, it was impossible to drink. It was said that in his day the evil spirits wandering the streets and the dead rise from their graves. As inexplicable coincidence, at the Lubyanka, generously watered with tears of Novgorod and shadow in the spirit of the holy martyr Evplov then and there and then the notorious "Bloody gebnya." Metaphysics some!



Surprisingly, the church was not damaged by the fire of 1812, and services were held in it, even during the French occupation. Napoleon spared, but not spared by the new Soviet power - in 1925 here it was decided to build a seven-storey building. Behind the church stood, even the author of the Mausoleum AV Shchusev, but through the magazine "Utilities" received an official answer: "Keep at growth and restructuring capital Evplov any church because it is a monument of antiquity, useless and even harmful." Demolished Church, so much so in this mournful place namolennye nothing built. At first there was just a pit, then a wasteland, which according to the recollections of old residents of the local boys after the war is constantly human bones and adapted to its yard games.



In the 1960s there was a project of construction of a public building here with fashionable at the time Steklyashka café. But beyond the cafe project never went, and the cafe itself is somehow not caught on to this place. Wasteland there all the Soviet era - despite the repeated attempts of building, here nothing could take root. And that kind of died down default of 1998, began the 2000s in Moscow building boom broke out, there were a developer and investor. On the cursed place that's decided to build a multi-storey office complex with underground parking on the draft workshop №12 SUE "Mosproekt 2 named MV Posokhin "architect. SV Goryachev.



Boudreau and quickly built a powerful monolithic skeleton ... and all of a sudden to have frozen construction.



So it is a holy place is empty, and one hell knows how many more tears must be shed to appear here anything worthwhile.
