Before proceeding to the story, I apologize to the readers for such an ordinary title of the article. All the suitable headlines related to the cemetery sounded ambiguous. “How to get to Novodevichy Cemetery” or “How to get there….” - can be interpreted in different ways, not to mention "How to get to the Novodevichy cemetery." We didn’t like our standard heading “Peculiarities of a national walk….” Therefore, they left the stable phrase “Novodevichy Cemetery”. Now let's move on to summary articles:

HOW TO GET TO NOVODEVICH CEMETERY AND MONASTERY BY METRO
The road to the Novodevichy cemetery lies past the Novodevichy Convent. I am adding a second section heading so that people who want to visit only the monastery can use the article.
The nearest metro station to the Novodevichy cemetery and the monastery is called “Sportivnaya”, this is the red Sokolnicheskaya metro line. Station "Sportivnaya" is located southwest of the center of Moscow.
The station has two exits. If you are coming from the center, then get into the last carriages and exit to the left. In any case, be guided by the sign "exit to the street of the 10th anniversary of October and the Novodevichy Convent."
The lobby of the Sportivnaya metro station is located on a small square. Immediately at the exit on the column there is a sign with an arrow “To the Novodevichy Convent”.
We go straight through the square to the ground pedestrian crossing.
You need to cross the narrow street of the 10th anniversary of October and immediately turn right. Now we go straight down the street.
The photo shows the street of the 10th anniversary of October. Landmarks on the street left hand first we see the cafe "Nineteen twenty-seven"
When you reach the end of the street, you will see a white wall and the red towers of the Novodevichy Convent in the distance. Those who are going to the monastery, skip a couple of paragraphs. We are going to the cemetery. That is, BEFORE the square and BEFORE pedestrian crossing you have to turn left.
Here, BEFORE THE TRANSITION you need to turn left. From afar, you can already see the red-brick wall of the Novodevichy cemetery.
In this image, the low red-brick wall of the cemetery is barely visible through the trees ahead.
Do not rush to cross the road at the first crossing!
Go to the next one, it will be more convenient. The second passage is located directly opposite the entrance to the territory of the Novodevichy cemetery.
Be careful, the transition is WITHOUT traffic lights! Here is the route map from the Sportivnaya metro station (the desired lobby is marked with a red circle).
Now I'll digress for a while and tell people
HOW TO GET TO THE NOVODEVICH MONASTERY
We walked from the metro station "Sportivnaya" along the street of the 10th anniversary of October and parted at its end. I think you yourself guessed that the Novodevichy Convent is within easy reach, it is already clearly visible. Just be careful! You need to cross three passages on ground crossings. One is unregulated. Be careful, not all drivers give way to pedestrians!
After crossing, continue straight ahead. Two other ground crossings have traffic lights installed.
Second transition.

Every year it is opened in different time, depending on the temperature. Sometimes a visit is possible at the beginning of May, sometimes from the end of the month or even from the beginning of June. The Smolensky Cathedral is closed in September-October. In the summer, there is also a high chance that you will find yourself at a locked gate. In rainy weather, the Smolensk Cathedral is closed.

The first burials in the area of the current Novodevichy cemetery appeared in the 70s of the 16th century on the territory of the Novodevichy Convent. Nuns were buried in the monastery, and later others.
By the end of the 19th century, the monastery necropolis was almost full, and in 1898 two hectares of land were allocated on the south side of the monastery to increase the area of the cemetery. Under the guidance of professor of architecture I.P. Mashkov, the walls of the cemetery were built and plots were planned. The official opening of the Novodevichy cemetery took place in 1904, but burials began to be made before its opening. Now the territory of this cemetery is called "the old Novodevichy cemetery".
In 1949, the cemetery was expanded even further south, and this territory was called the New Novodevichy Cemetery. During 1950-1956, walls were built around the new territory, as well as service premises. Once again, the Novodevichy Cemetery was expanded in 1970 by the "Newest Novodevichy Cemetery". Today Novodevichy Cemetery consists of four parts with total area over 7.5 hectares. About 26,000 people are buried here.
Since the beginning of the Novodevichy cemetery was laid in the necropolis of the monastery, but it is here that the most ancient burials are located. The remains of the daughter of Ivan the Terrible Anna, his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law lie in the basement of the Smolensky Cathedral of the Novodevichy Convent. The daughters of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the sisters of Peter I, as well as princesses Sophia (nun Susanna), Evdokia and Ekaterina Miloslavsky, the first wife of Peter I Evdokia Lopukhina (nun Elena) are also buried here. In the 19th century, wealthy merchants, writers, scientists, musicians, prominent political and public figures began to be buried on the territory of the monastery.
In 1922, the Novodevichy Convent, together with the cemetery, acquired the status of a museum and was taken under state protection. But in 1930, it was decided to break a square with lawns and alleys on the site of the necropolis. As a result of reconstruction, out of more than two thousand ancient graves, only about a hundred remained, and they were significantly damaged.
But on the territory of the monastery, the transformations were not so destructive. Here are the graves famous hero Patriotic War 1812 of the poet Denis Davydov, Prince S. Trubetskoy, Lieutenant Colonel M.I. Muravyov-Apostol, A.N. Pleshcheev, writers I.I. Lazhechnikov and A.F. Pisemsky, the creator of the orphanage Nikolai Rukavishnikov, historian S.M.

The body of the writer was delivered to Moscow in a special refrigerated car designed to transport oysters. At first, Chekhov was buried next to the grave of his father, and later the ashes of the writer were transferred to the "old" section of the Novodevichy cemetery.
At the apses of the Smolensk Cathedral you can see a large white marble slab - the first abbess of the Novodevichy Convent, Elena Detochkina (died November 18, 1548), is buried here. Mother Superior Seraphim Chernaya (1914-1999) was also buried on the territory of the monastery.
As already mentioned, after the revolution, the Novodevichy Cemetery turned into a burial place for high-ranking officials. When an active anti-religious campaign unfolded in the 1930s, the graves of many famous people were moved from the devastated monastery necropolises to the Novodevichy cemetery, among which were the graves of N.V. Gogol, D.V. Venevitinov, writer S.T. Aksakov, artist I.I. Levitan, Sergei and Pavel Tretyakov and others. On the old territory there is also the grave of the famous Russian bass - F.I. Chaliapin. Initially, after the death of Chaliapin, he was buried in Paris, and almost fifty years later, the ashes of the singer were reburied in Moscow at the Novodevichy cemetery.

Oops ... I’ll tell you exactly who it is ... I really liked the face, but I didn’t look at the name ...
But I will try to rehabilitate myself and I will reason logically ...
Judging by the tombstones in the background, some of which I "know by sight" well - this sculpture is located on the 11th section, in the 3rd row, exactly with its back to the monument to Air Marshal Alexander Petrovich Silantyev.
But alas, there is no clear scheme of all burials on the Internet, and even the plan that is available at the entrance to the cemetery has gaps ... whole rows are missing, so this information is clearly not enough ....
Judging by the insignia, which are very clearly visible, namely, the epaulettes of the general of the army of the sample of 1974-1994, as well as the fact that the outline of the drawing on the general’s table is very reminiscent of the territory of the former GDR .... I dare to assume that this is a monument Ivanovsky Evgeny Filippovich- Soviet military commander, Hero of the Soviet Union, army general, who from July 1972 to December 1980 was the Commander-in-Chief of the Group Soviet troops in Germany.
If I'm wrong, please correct me, I'd appreciate it.
