A Visual Guide to Moscow Tramways | << | >> |
The old village Bogorodskoye to the north-east of Moscow is known since the XIV century. In XIX century this was a cottage village, and here lived famous Russian artist Shyshkin and composers Chaikovsky, Borodin, Balakirev. The first horse-drawn tram came here in 1886 - it was one of the first Moscow tramlines.
In the beginning of the XX century, this district became a part of Moscow; here lived workers of many factories built along Yauza river. Now, a century later, the trend is opposite, and modern apartment houses have replaced the original wooden country ones. The disrict once again becomes a silent, green and cosy place.
