Kozhukhovo: from the Metro to the MCC
A walk through the industrial streets and stations of south-east Moscow
Stories along the route
Кожуховская (станция метро) · 0.0 km
You're standing by a station called Kozhukhovskaya, but don't rush off to look for that Kozhukhovo district you may have heard about. It's not here — it's quite far away, in the Eastern District.
1-й Южнопортовый проезд · 0.3 km
You are standing on a border you won't see with your eyes, but you'll feel it with your feet. Pervy Yuzhnoportovy Proyezd is not just asphalt between buildings — it's the line where one Moscow district meets another.
Угрешская (станция) · 1.9 km
In front of you is not just a suburban train stop, but a real railway junction hidden in the very heart of industrial Moscow. This station is Ugreshskaya, and it is unique in that it combines two functions at once.
2-я улица Машиностроения · 2.9 km
Take a look at the sign in front of you: Second Machine-Building Street. It may seem like just one of many names in this industrial district, but behind it lies an entire era.
Дубровка (станция МЦК) · 3.0 km
You are standing at a station that maps call “Dubrovka”, but if you dig a little deeper, it's not quite a station in the usual sense. There's not a single extra track here — no passing loop, no dead end.
Улица Петра Романова · 3.7 km
You are standing on a street that bears the name of Pyotr Romanov, and you may not even realize that this name is not just a random plaque on a building.
