Today we are visiting old estates. Izmailovo, Tsaritsyno, Kolomenskoye were tsar's family villages. Kuskovo, Arkhangelskoye, Ostankino, Kuzminki, Yasenevo were former country estates belonging to the Counts and powerful noble family.
In the 16-18 centuries these estates were far from Moscow. It is now a territory of the city.

Впервые Кусково упоминается в конце XVI века и уже как владение Шереметевых. В 1623—1624 годах здесь стояли деревянная церковь, боярский двор, дворы крепостных людей. Во владении Шереметевых Кусково оставалось более трёхсот лет, вплоть до 1917 года.
Изначально в данном районе Шереметевым принадлежал всего один небольшой участок, «кусок», как называл его граф Борис Петрович Шереметев. А все земли в округе принадлежали будущему государственному канцлеру Алексею Михайловичу Черкасскому. После брака сына Бориса Петровича, графа Петра Борисовича, с единственной дочерью князя Алексея Михайловича — Варенькой, Шереметевы стали единственными собственниками этих земель.
В 1750—1770-х годах по заказу Петра Шереметева в Кускове была создана обширная усадьба с дворцом, многими «увеселительными затеями», большим парком и прудами. Создание этого ансамбля тесно связано с именами крепостных архитекторов Фёдора Аргунова и Алексея Миронова. Архитектурный комплекс создан в барочно-рокайльном стиле середины XVIII в.
В 1774 году был сооружён дворец, доминирующий в архитектурной композиции. Его планировка отвечает модному анфиладному расположению интерьеров, двери всех помещений находятся на одной оси, комнаты раскрываются одна за другой. Все помещения господского дома последовательно объединены в три композиционные группы.
Усадебный комплекс был предназначен для пышных приёмов гостей и увеселений. Для этих целей были выстроены парковые павильоны и беседки, оранжерея и кунсткамера, зверинец и охотничий домик. На кусковском пруду существовала небольшая флотилия гребных судов. Раскинувшаяся на 230 гектарах усадьба в дни особенно торжественных приёмов собирала до 30 тысяч гостей.
Достойным обрамлением дворцового комплекса является французский регулярный парк с красивыми прудами и мраморной скульптурой.
In the 17th century Kuskovo became the property of Boris Petrovich Sheremetev (1652–1719), a Russian Field Marshal under Czar Peter the Great, who led the Russian Army in the victory over the Swedes at the Battle of Poltava (1707) in the Great Northern War. There was already a wooden church on the site, a house and several ponds.
The palace was constructed by his son Petr Borisovich Sheremetev (1713–1787). Count Sheremetev was one of the richest men in Russia, close to the court and a patron of the arts. He built Kuskovo at approximately the same time that he built a city palace on the banks of the Fontanka River in St. Petersburg. When he decided to build a palace at Kuskovo, he ordered that it be larger and more beautiful than the estates of other nobles, and equal to any residence of the Czars.Since it was less than a day's journey from the center of Moscow, it was not designed to accommodate overnight guests, nor for agriculture or any other practical purpose, but purely as a place for entertainment, ceremony and festivities.
Construction was carried out between the 1730s and the 1790s on a site of over 300 hectares (740 acres). The earliest surviving structure is the Saviour church, on the site of the old wooden church, built in 1737-39 in a Petrine baroque style and decorated with marble statues. The neoclassical bell-tower was added later, in 1792.
The Dutch House was constructed between 1749 and 1751 by architect Y.I. Kologrivov, who then enlarged the pond into a lake and laid out the park and canals.After the death of Kologrivov in 1754, the construction of the palace was begun by the young architect Fiodor I. Argunov, who had designed the grotto and the belvedere by the canal in the eastern part of the park. When Fiodor Argunov became occupied with the construction of the Sheremetev house on the Fontanka in St. Petersburg, the task of designing the palace was given to the famous Moscow architect Karl Blank.The construction of the house occupied the 1760s. The neoclassical facade, attributed to the French architect Charles de Wailly, was added in 1774 after the son of the owner returned from Paris 1773.
The twenty-six rooms of the palace were designed for entertaining and impressing guests on state occasions. Count Sheremetev entertained in a grand style; his outdoor entertainments in the park attracted as many twenty-five thousand guests. Entertainments included his a famous theater and orchestra with serf actors.The estate was visited by Empress Catherine II in 1775; an obelisk in the park marks the event.

From the Sonata in B-flat major by D. Bortnyansky
In 1743, Princess Varvara, the only daughter of Chancellor of the Russian Empire Alexei Cherkassky , married Count Peter Sheremetev , combining two rich and noble families of Russia. Included in the dowry was the Ostankino Estate. Since Peter Sheremetev lived regularly in his ancestral homestead in Kuskovo , the Ostankino Estate provided him with an income. He gave intsructions that a sqaure shape garden was constructed for the estate, together with greenhouses and greenhouses growing lemons , peaches , pomegranates , almonds , fig and olive trees....
The heyday for Ostankino was under his son, Nikolai Petrovich Sheremetev , who made Ostankino his summer residence and created a theatrical troupe consisting of more than 300 people. Under him, Ostankino became one of the most beautiful manor ensembles in Russia . Count Nikolai envisioned a pantheon of arts - a building that would combine theatre, art gallery and library. In 1792, construction began of a palace-theatre designed by architects Francesco Camporesi , Ivan Starov and Vincenzo Brenna. The palace was built of wood in a classical style.
At various times many eminent guests came to see performances here, including the Polish King Stanislaw August Poniatowski , Russian emperors Elizaveta Petrovna , Pavel I and Alexander I.
Here also, Emperor Alexander II signed a draft law on the abolition of serfdom.....
In the second quarter of the XIX century the count's manor began to gradually decline. After the Revolution, the estate was nationalised and on May 1, 1919, it was open to visitors as a museum.In 1938, the institution was renamed the Ostankino Palace-Museum of the Creativity of the Serfs, because the palace itself and its interiors were decorated by serf architects .....
In February 2013, the palace was closed for reconstruction. One of the main aims is to preserve the wooden fabric of the building. The estate is due to reopen in 2020.....

Kuskovo, a park of royal leisure and recreation
The estate upholds certain traditions established here in the 18th century by its then owner Count Sheremetev, and still preserves an atmosphere of celebration and leisure. More info here:
Beautifull Russian Forest; Kuskovo forest park, Moscow
Kuskovo is almost unique among Russian aristocratic country houses in that it has original interiors to match its glorious facades. Once a village to the south-east of Moscow, it was razed to the ground during the Polish invasion of 1611, and was used as a hunting reserve until Count Boris Sheremetev, one of Peter the Great's leading generals, decided to build a summer home here.
The park and palace that can be seen today were a labor of love for his son Petr, who took advantage of the nobility's new-found leisure to devote his life and his wealth to his two great passions: his home and the theatre. Serf architects and artisans were employed to create the estate, and the work was overseen by the celebrated Moscow professional Karl Blank. The ensemble comprises a palace, an adjoining church, and a formal baroque park filled with statues and follies. The result is a fascinating mixture of late baroque and early neoclassicism, with the two styles overlapping surprisingly harmoniously in their uniquely Russian interpretations.
The palace, a single-storey, salmon pink-and-white structure, is a fine and rare example of wooden neoclassicism. It was completed in 1775, and the rich interiors remain unchanged since 1779. They include a room hung exclusively with exquisite Flemish tapestries, an abundance of silk wallpaper and an impressive collection of 18th century European and Russian paintings.
Highlights of the park include the entertainingly pretty Italian, Dutch and Swiss Cottages, Blank's Hermitage and the old Orangery, which is home to the State Ceramics Museum, an extensive and absorbing collection of porcelain from the 18th century to the present day.
Petr Sheremetev's son Nikolai shared his father's love for the theater, but preferred to build his own estate at Ostankino. Further troubles beset Kuskovo after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861, which left the Sheremetevs financially incapable of maintaining the large formal parks. The garden at Kuskovo became overgrown, surrounding lands had to be sold, and the last Count Sheremetev was reduced to building a small wooden dacha next to the palace so that he could continue to live on the family estate. In 1919, the Bolshevik government nationalized the estate, and it has since been one of the favorite attractions for Muscovites in the summer months.
Getting there: from Ryazansky Prospect take bus 133 or marshrutka 208 to the Kuskovo stop.
Opening hours: From 16 October to 14 April - daily from 10:00 to 16:00. From 15 April to 15 October - daily from 10:00 to 18:00. Closed Mondays, Tuesdays and the last Wednesday of each month.
Kuskovo in Moscow
The Kuskovo estate is an architectural complex in the west of Moscow. It was built in the middle of XVII century in classicism style. It is one of the greatest summer estates, which belonged to the Sheremetev family. They are known for their involvement in charity, so Sheremetevs' servants sincerely loved by them. The estate included three parts: behind-the-pond part with the menagerie, the French garden with ponds and marble sculptures and English garden called Guy. There was a lot of different pavilions: Grotto, Hermitage, Dutch and Italian houses, which survived until nowadays.

Where did Pushkin first read his poem Poltava?
You will know all this when you see our new video!
Today our Moscow travel guide invites you to walk along the most aristocratic street in Moscow - Povarskaya. It connects New Arbat and Sadovoye ring.
In fact Povarskaya means Cook s street. Its because those, who were in service in the Tzar kitchen lived here In 16th -17th century. And also Ivan the Great s guardsmen, because this street was a way to Novgorod.
We ll start our excursion from the legendary restaurant Praga. It was opened in 1872 and the address was Povarskaya, 1. After the October revolution this luxury restaurant turned into a canteen! Mayakovskiy liked to eat here.
This is a church of Simeon Stolpnik. It was built in 17th century. Look at its beautiful 5 domes in the traditional Moscow style.
Here count Sheremetiev married a serf actress Praskovia Zhemchugova. Gogol used to come here during the last years of his life.
Let s continue our walk and go up the street to the Sadovoe ring. The Golden age of the estates on Povarskaya starts from the 18th century, from the Peter times.
The Tzar kitchen moves to the new capital St Petersburg. And the street begins to be a home of russian aristocrats: Gagarin, Golitsin, Dolgorukiy, Volkonsky.
Today most of the estates host different foreign embassies, for example Norway or Cyprus. In Bludov s estate on Povarskaya, 15 there is a Supreme court of Russia now. Look, here is the sculpture of Femida, without an eye patch for some reason.
Not far from the Borisoglebsky street was a court of Peter s the first sister Natalia.
Unfortunately not all estates survived till nowadays. Some of them burned out, some were demolished.
For example between 2 streets Borisoglebskiy and Big Rshevskiy instead of 2 luxury estates of the 18th century the soviets made a park of Ivan Bunin. 200year old elm the favorite Bunins tree unfortunately has not survived.
Lets continue our excursion. Look at the house number 25, the Gagarin estate. Prince Gagarin, the director of the Emperors theatre ordered to build the main house in the empire style.
In the 1920s the cavalry school was in this building, and in the 1937 it became the Literature institute. In the yard you can find another famous sculpture of Vera Muhina The thunderbird of Revolution.
And here is the Orlov s house. In the 19th century it belonged to the count Sheremetiev. In one of its splendid halls Pushkin read his poem Poltava for the 1st time.
The only wooden house that remained on Povarskaya, is the house with mesonine of the princess Volkonskaya.
House number 50 - the famous Writers house was the first writers cub in Moscow.
And at last we came up to the house № 52. This very estate with 6 columns was the home of Tolstov s Natasha Rostova, the hero of his famousWar and peace.
This yellow estate is made in russian classicism style. There is a small church near the main house. In 1920 the Palace of arts was opened here. Boris Pasternak, Alexey Tolstoy, Sergei Esenin and Marina Zvetaeva performed here.
In the yard you cfn see the monument to Lev Tolstoy made by Vasnetcov.
Today several writing organizations and restaurants are located here.
