Stories along the route

  1. Полянка (станция метро) · 0.0 km

    You are standing at a station that opened its doors on January 23, 1986. Back then it was a real breakthrough — the new section of the line connected the city center with the south.

  2. Институт географии РАН · 0.4 km

    Before you stands a building where they study the Earth itself — its icy shells, living forests, and rocky ridges. This is the Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences, or IG RAS for short.

  3. Памятник Георгию Димитрову (Москва) · 0.8 km

    You are standing before a bronze figure that seems frozen mid-step — as if the person has just come around the corner and stopped, wondering where to go next.

  4. Городская усадьба Ф. И. Шкарина — И. Ф. Якобсона · 1.1 km

    Перед вами не просто старые стены, а настоящий архитектурный палимпсест, где XIX век встречается с XXI-м. Эта городская усадьба, принадлежавшая Ф. И. Шкарину, а затем И. Ф.

  5. Храм Иверской иконы Божией Матери при Иверской общине сестёр милосердия · 1.2 km

    Перед вами храм, который видел не только молитвы, но и слёзы надежды. Представьте: конец XIX века, Москва, и здесь, среди тихих улиц Якиманки, возникает община сестёр милосердия.

  6. Иверская община сестёр милосердия · 1.2 km

    Imagine: 1894, Moscow, and here, on Yakimanka Street, unusual life is bustling. This is not just a hospital and not just a monastery — it's the Iverskaya Community of Sisters of Mercy.
