Govorovo: From the Metro to the District's History

Stories along the route

1. Говорово (станция метро) · 0.0 km

   You are standing by a station that bears the name of a village which has vanished from Moscow's maps, but not from the memory of the district.

2. Улица Матросова (Москва) · 1.0 km

   You are standing on a street that bears the name Matrosov, but around you there is no sea — only the rumble of the railway. This street is a true boundary between the past and the present of the Vostryakovo settlement.

3. Мещерская (платформа) · 1.3 km

   You are standing by a platform that, in its short life, has already changed its name three times. First it was Vostryakovo, then it became Skolkovo, and since 2020 it has been called Meshcherskaya.

4. Домостроительная улица (Москва) · 1.6 km

   You are standing on a street whose name sounds like a greeting from the era of big construction — Domostroitelnaya, or House-Building Street.

5. Улица 50 лет Октября (Москва) · 3.6 km

   You're standing on a street whose name sounds like a greeting from the past — Ulitsa 50 let Oktyabrya, 50 Years of October Street. But don't rush to look for revolutionary barricades or podiums here.
