Since the beginning of the 20th century, large city cemeteries have been liquidated in Moscow. Burials hindered the development of the city and violated sanitary standards: it became illegal to place cemeteries in residential areas. The liberated land was given to transport hubs, microdistricts, industrial enterprises and parks.
In total, 12 churchyards were liquidated on the territory of old Moscow
The most famous disbanded cemetery - Dorogomilovskoye. The territory of the churchyard stretched along the modern Taras Shevchenko embankment, from the Bagration bridge to the twelfth houses along Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Closer to the center were the Jewish and Karaite sections that were part of the cemetery. The churchyard was founded along with seven others back in 1771 during the plague epidemic, when the Senate decided to ban burials within the city. The cemetery managed to exist until the end of the 1940s, when mass residential and industrial development of the area began. At the beginning of the decade, the relatives of the deceased were offered to rebury the ashes at the Vostryakovskoye cemetery, and in 1948 the authorities themselves dismantled the remaining graves. At the same time, the Elizabethan church, erected in 1770 according to the project of architect Vasily Bazhenov, installed at the entrance to the cemetery, was demolished. In the 1990s, the development concept of the microdistrict was again revised: the tower 2000 office center and a shopping bridge appeared on the site of the former cemetery. In the near future, other areas adjacent to the embankment may be given over to elite development.
Nearby, on today's 1812 Street, there was a small Filevskoye cemetery. On the maps of the beginning of the 20th century, the graveyard is marked as a rural one - apparently, the total size of the cemetery was not too large. Now, on the site of the alleged burial, there is the Gokhran building, erected in the mid-1950s.
In the neighborhood, on the territory of the current Fili-Davydkovo district, another one was liquidated, Mazilovskoye cemetery named after the settlement of the same name. The burials stretched along today's Malaya Filevskaya Street, now in their place are residential buildings and a stage between metro stations. The cemetery was limited to the lobby of the modern Pionerskaya metro station and Oleko Dundich Street. The bed of the Filka River stretched along, which is now enclosed in a collector. The decision to completely liquidate the cemetery was made in 1962, when mass building of the microdistrict began.
Fraternal cemetery, located at the intersection of modern Peschanaya and Novopeschanaya streets, did not last long. The churchyard, opened in 1915 for the heroes of the First World War, was already closed for burials in 1925. The site stood in a mothballed state until 1932, when it was reorganized into Chapaevsky Park. In the neighborhood, in Maly Peschany Lane, there was another soldier's cemetery, popularly called "Arbatets". The churchyard was also reformatted into a park in the 1960s due to the development of the microdistrict.
Children's Park "Festivalny" is laid out on the site of the famous Lazarevsky cemetery in Maryina Grove. The history of the burial dates back to 1657, created as a cemetery for the poor, in 1771 the churchyard became one of the places of mass burial of the dead during the plague epidemic. In the 19th century, the churchyard received the status of an elite one, and the graves of merchants and aristocrats appeared in the cemetery. Burials at Lazarevskoe have been discontinued since the early 1930s, when the territory took on an extremely neglected appearance. And in 1932, a decision was made to reorganize the territory. Only a small part of the burials was moved to new places - no one took care of most of the graves over the years.
Another small cemetery on Marshal Zhukov Avenue was liquidated in the middle of the last century for more practical purposes. Khoroshevsky churchyard, which is marked on the maps of the early 20th century, was replaced by a bus station.
The Palace of Culture and other buildings of the ZIL enterprise were built on the site cemeteries at the Simonov Monastery. The decision to disband the churchyard and the religious center was made in 1930. Most of the dead were never reburied. Elements of the necropolis can still be found near the surviving Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The palace of creativity itself, in connection with the reconstruction of the factory territory, was recently reformatted into the ZIL Cultural Center.
Another partially preserved necropolis is located on the Preobrazhensky Val. The fraternal cemetery for monks and servants of the Nikolsky Edinoverie Monastery has been operating since 1866. In 1920, the chambers were converted into a hostel for the Radio plant. At the same time, they stopped burying in the graveyard. In 1931, guided by sanitary standards, the local authorities decided to liquidate the cemetery. Burials and tombstones were mostly taken out of the city. Now, on the site of the former necropolis, you can find only small elements of graves and the only surviving memorial sign, placed in 1921 on the grave of revolutionary Alexandra Alexandrova.
Semyonovskoye cemetery, created in 1771, until 1935 it was one of the most popular places for burials. In particular, a separate soldier's section operated on the churchyard, where the heroes of numerous wars rested. But in 1935, it was decided to eliminate the burial sites for the construction of buildings for the Salyut industrial enterprise. By 1966, the rest of the cemetery was liquidated during the laying of tram tracks. Two years ago, the Moscow City Duma decided to organize a memorial at the site of former military graves, but the project never entered the implementation stage.
Around the same period, two neighboring ones were destroyed, Kozhukhovskoe and Cholera cemeteries, established in 1771 and 1817, respectively. The territory of the former graveyards is occupied by industrial buildings and the Mostelefonstroy enterprise. There are also fast food restaurants on site.
Created at the same time Biryulyovskoye cemetery existed until 1978, after which a public garden was laid out in its place. At the same time, it was possible to save the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, assigned to the churchyard, which was restored after a fire by the Soviet authorities.
Former Deguninskoe cemetery in 1987, he replaced the Svyatoslav Fedorov International Scientific and Technical Center "Eye Microsurgery" located in the depths of the Korovinskoye Highway. Until the early 1990s, household waste was dumped on the territory of the churchyard and change houses of workers involved in the construction of the Iris Congress Hotel were placed. Later, a public garden was built on the vacant territory.
