Previous similar adventure was in May this year . I would often choose to jog with a camera. But in fact, the camera while running is not a very useful thing . Therefore, it is appropriate only in those cases where training is not hard , slow recovery ... well , when jogging - no training , and this - the paradox and the reason that the camera I did not take with him . But the idea of living simply postponed and waited the best of circumstances .
Circumstances flocked yesterday. A day earlier, I decided to run despite the endless rains - a run through the woods, where it is difficult to imagine was the state of the track . Already on the way to the forest , it became clear that the soil there is catastrophically sodden state. But I decided to stay until the end of the hero and lasted more than 14 km and when it was over, I was so dirty , what was never , though never fell , and even slipped , but do not run away from our clay?
In recent years, Moscow nomenklatura only increased the confusion . Between municipal district " Chertanovo North " neighborhoods and " North Chertanovo " have considerable differences . In this map it styled with an addiction to smack nomenclature style pushing the word " North " in the second position that completely wrong - historically this place is called " North Chertanovo " and not as nice to hear the bureaucrats of the modern era . Besides it over many of them.
Design this area began shortly after Moscow joined as a significant new territory from the local railway to the Ring Road , which was then just beginning to build. As part of Moscow came in large numbers in rural settlements and rural type - NAGATINO , Zyuzino , State Farm " Red Lighthouse " ( on former open spaces which I now live) . Cheratnovo, as the area gets its name from a small river flowing here and today - Chertanovki - actually coincided with the outlines of the farm lands Red lighthouse - there were all very old and mostly already ramshackle huts, barns , piggeries , fields Spikes rye and drove Harvesters - it is in the early 70s in Moscow - he saw , and then , as a child, perceived perfectly normal.
The northern part of these spaces was practically uninhabited due to the peculiarities of the landscape - there were places marshy delta and represented two small springs . Here it was decided to build a new type of urban neighborhood , though built on a swamp - and then it was probably a questionable idea ? Yes, but unless the party and government - argue ?
Apartments in this quite apart landscape fenced off from the rest of the under construction " new Moscow " received mostly VIP-guests of the socialist era. These were ministers, diplomats , parliamentarians, labor heroes , scientists, directors of factories and large enterprises. Only , but great for those years , Supermarket located on the outskirts of the neighborhood was one of the best supply in the city and at the time when the rest of the shops in the district cynically smiling buyer empty shelves , this was all Prodmag . And it could buy just randomly stopped by anything and in any quantity. But , surprisingly, the majority of people living close to the Muscovites from neighboring buildings neither sleep nor spirit did not know about the victory of communism in a particular neighborhood , at least until it was just something - crossing a field , but the creek jump ... And all because people were are busy every day working and not spend precious weekend for shopping and exploring the surrounding area for " something to grab ." And maybe because they had children to educate and kinder than - we now have .
This neighborhood never knew infill development , although the place for this barbarism in it. And it is only one object for more than 40 years of existence, constantly undergoing certain changes - on the shore of the pond , arose when transferring riverbed , along with other buildings were laid the foundation of a tall building . Soon after the foundation has cracked , become crawl ashore and construction stopped for two decades . Something tried to strengthen and suddenly grew new tower cranes on the construction site abandoned , but soon disappeared cranes and was adding to the building floor landing. In the 90s , the Moscow authorities " tomb " build, the doors and windows, sanitary ware ( bath , toilet bowls ) and happily forgotten about its existence . Soon all of her most valuable " treasures " have resolved to construction markets . And only in the XXI century this wreck resulted in feelings. While there was a process , it looked gigantic hulk on the background of relatively low houses of the district, but hardly object was commissioned as its adjacent wetlands began the construction of even more terrible facilities. When their construction and decoration completed all around and transformed the former giant lost close to the new buildings twice the height - these skyscrapers can be compared perhaps only now with skyscrapers Moscow City . Although , a lot with them and remains at the country level and abandoned ideas and not embodied not finish .
From my house to the North Cheratnovo a little over three kilometers. I started taking pictures at the beginning of the way, but most of the pictures already made in this " reserve" . Dusk, and I do not set goals to run around with a camera all the nooks neighborhood. But managed to take a picture of the main types . I crossed across the territory and even delved a little aside Bittsevsky forest park reaching Hippodrome Bitza almost right up to the North Cheratnovo adjoins . It's quite popular - here transit routes workouts many runners and cyclists , I myself am running here regularly. Passed the night I witnessed training of young walkers ( race walking ) . And despite the fact that the coach these kids was very severe, I managed to make a number of frames in the existing micro-report about their merry Boating Moon.
