From CSKA Metro Station to the Airfield: The History of Khodynka Field
A walk through the park and its surroundings: from the metro station to the places where Russian aviation was born
Stories along the route
ЦСКА (станция метро) · 0.0 km
You are standing at a station that appeared on the metro map quite recently — in 2018. But beneath your feet lies land with a far more ancient history.
Ходынское поле (парк) · 0.0 km
You are standing where planes once took off and people now stroll. Imagine: beneath your feet is the concrete of a former runway, and all around are green alleys. This park didn't appear right away.
Памятник Михаилу Водопьянову · 1.5 km
Перед вами не просто бронзовый лётчик с картой в руке — это человек, который однажды посадил самолёт прямо на макушку планеты.
Центральный аэродром имени М. В. Фрунзе · 2.8 km
You are standing on the spot where engines once roared and Moscow's first planes took off. This is the Frunze Central Aerodrome, but old-timers still simply call it 'Khodynka'.
Легкоатлетическо-футбольный комплекс ЦСКА · 4.2 km
Перед вами — здание, которое помнит Олимпиаду-80, но сегодня оно выглядит так, будто готово принять новый рекорд хоть завтра.
