There is no official information about the location of bunkers, lines, stations and facilities of the so-called “Metro-2”. The government of the Russian Federation neither confirmed nor denied its existence, but it was repeatedly mentioned in interviews by former senior government officials, in particular Deputy Prime Minister Mikhail Poltoranin, head of protocol and adviser to the President of Russia Vladimir Shevchenko, as well as the management of the Moscow Metro, directly or indirectly confirming the reality of the existence of a system of such objects.
The location and the very fact of the existence of such structures are considered state secrets.
The name “Metro-2” was invented by the writer Vladimir Gonik; it began to be used by journalists from the early 1990s and continues to be used to this day in the media, thematic Internet forums and blogs, as well as in fiction, acquiring mythical details.
Skeptics classify the existence of secret Moscow underground transport communications, the so-called “Metro-2,” as urban legends and fiction. More or less reliable can be considered the existence of a line from the new building of the Ministry of Defense on Znamenka to the facility in Troparevo-Nikulino, officially called the “Metropolitan Testing and Measurement Laboratory” and the Transinzhstroy OJSC system under construction. These two line-systems were visited by a team of MSU diggers and a group of enthusiasts from the Azimut Research and Development Institute.
According to rumors, the system is much more extensive and goes far beyond Moscow: lines to the cities of Chekhov, Krasnoznamensk and Balashikha are reported. These rumors have no confirmation.
In the summer of 1992, the literary and journalistic magazine “Yunost” published the novel “Hell” by writer and screenwriter Vladimir Gonik, the action of which takes place in the underground bunkers of Moscow. Earlier, in the spring of the same year, excerpts from the novel were published by the weekly magazine “Top Secret”.
In an interview with a correspondent of the Kommersant newspaper in 1993 at the presentation of his book, the writer stated that the term “Metro-2” was introduced by him, and the novel was written on the basis of information he personally collected over twenty years about bunkers and secret metro lines connecting them . Gonik admitted that he wrote the novel from 1973 to 1986, and also that he deliberately distorted some information about the routes of special tunnels and the location of special objects in the text of the novel.
Later, writer Vladimir Gonik argued that the bunkers of the so-called “Metro-2” served to house the leadership of the Politburo and the CPSU Central Committee, as well as members of their families in case of war. According to him, allegedly, the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Brezhnev personally visited the main bunker in the early 1970s, after which he awarded the Chairman of the KGB of the USSR Yuri Andropov the Gold Medal of the Hero of Socialist Labor. In the bunker, each member of the CPSU Central Committee was entitled to apartments with an area of up to 180 sq.m. with an office, a rest room, a catering unit and a bathroom.
Gonik collected his information, as he claims, from his patients while working as a doctor in a clinic of the Ministry of Defense.
After the publication of the novel, in 1992-1993, the topic of existing secret lines of the Moscow metro was raised in their publications by Russian media, in particular, the magazine Ogonyok, calling these underground facilities “Metro-2”
In 2004, the chief of protocol for USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev and the first Russian President Boris Yeltsin, Vladimir Shevchenko, was the first former senior government official to actually confirm the existence of a secret metro in Moscow:
“Information about the number of underground communications is greatly exaggerated. Under Stalin, who was very afraid of attempts on his life, a single-track underground metro line actually operated from the Kremlin to the so-called near dacha in Volynskoye. Today, neither the dacha nor the metro line are used. In addition, , there were underground transport communications between the General Staff and several other government facilities"
In 2008, Shevchenko again touched upon the topic of “Metro-2”:
“Currently, the Kremlin metro cannot in any way be called a transport artery, and, as far as I know, its further operation requires major repairs: after all, among other things, there are many underground communications that are deteriorating over time.”
As Mikhail Poltoranin, deputy prime minister and minister in the government of Boris Yeltsin in the early 1990s, says:
“This is an extensive network of tunnels, and a reserve command post in case of war, from where you can command the country’s nuclear forces. A large number of people can take refuge there - this was necessary for its maintenance. I know that Metro-2 has branches that go in the Moscow region so that the command could move away from the epicenter of a nuclear strike"
The head of the Moscow Metro, Dmitry Gaev, answered the question “Does metro-2 exist” in 2007:
"I'd be surprised if it didn't exist"
That same year, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper, he remarked:
"There is a lot of talk about the existence of secret transport tunnels. I will not deny anything. I would be surprised if they did not exist. Are you asking: can they be used to transport passengers? It is not for me to decide, but for those organizations on whose balance sheets these are located objects. I do not exclude this possibility"
In 2008, in an interview with the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty, the head of the independent trade union of the Moscow metro, Svetlana Razina, admitted:
“Several years ago, a recruitment process was carried out among the drivers of the Izmailovo depot for service on secret lines. And although there were many applicants, only one was selected. Only people with special permission can enter the territory of these tunnels. Most often, very short trains are used on these lines, consisting of a battery-powered electric locomotive and one passenger car"
As a correspondent for the state news agency ITAR-TASS reported in his material in 2007:
“Metro-2 lines were under the control of the KGB for a long time, and later came under the wing of the FSB.”
Back in 1992, in an interview with a correspondent of the American magazine Time, Deputy Director of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Igor Malashenko spoke about the existence of a television relay center in Sofrino, 30 km northeast of Moscow, built during the time of Khrushchev at great depths underground in case of nuclear war. According to Malashenko, at that time the center’s equipment turned out to be unusable because it was outdated. Malashenko says that the same fate befell many underground bomb shelters, in particular, the system of underground bunkers under the Moscow State University building, which, according to him, were flooded and became unusable.
Oleg Gordievsky, a former colonel of the KGB of the USSR, who spied for British intelligence for 11 years and fled to the UK in 1985, in 2001, in an interview with the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty, called “the main secret of the KGB, which has not been revealed to this day”:
“Underground communications of the special services. I know that the KGB has grandiose structures underground, entire cities, the likes of which simply do not exist.”
In 2006, in the center of Moscow, the Cold War Museum (Exhibition Center "ZKP "Tagansky"), located at a depth of more than 60 meters, was opened to citizens. Previously, it housed a secret air defense bunker connected to the tunnel of the existing Circle Line of the Moscow Metro.
In 1996, a branch of the Museum of the Armed Forces was opened on the basis of the former Reserve Command Post of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Armed Forces I.V. Stalin in the Moscow district of Izmailovo. According to the museum's official website, the facility is connected by a 17-kilometer underground road to the Kremlin, designed for travel by car. Its construction took place in the 1930s and was part of the state program to ensure the country's defense capability.
Underground "city" in Ramenki
In the southwest of Moscow, according to media reports, in the Ramenki area, under a vacant lot southwest of the main building of Moscow State University and the complex of buildings of the Scientific Research Base of the Association "Science" (NIBO "Science") at a depth of 180-200 meters, the largest Moscow underground bunker. According to the same data, it is connected to other underground facilities in Moscow by tunnels. It is supposedly designed to accommodate 15,000 people. The complex of above-ground buildings was built in 1975 according to the design of architect Evgeny Rozanov. The facility was built by the Glavspetsstroy organization.
The American magazine Time was one of the first to write about him in 1992. In his material, the journalist refers to an unnamed KGB officer, who claims that he took part in the construction of a large underground facility in Ramenki, the construction of which began in the mid-1960s and was completed by the mid-1970s.
The facility was dubbed the "Underground City" by a journalist, supposedly designed to provide shelter for 15,000 people for 30 years after a nuclear attack on Moscow.
On December 26, 2002, a fire occurred in the underground sewers of this facility at 12 A Vernadsky Prospekt, as a result of which electrical cables were damaged. Information about this became available to open sources thanks to a lawsuit brought by the management of NIBO against Mosenergo
The name of this object “Ramenki-43” appears in the media. The name comes from the street. Ramenki, 43, where one of the entrances to the underground structures is supposedly located. It is worth noting that at this address are located the Paramilitary Mine Rescue Squad 21 (VGSO 21) of the Federal State Institution "UVGSCh in Construction" and the 1st Paramilitary Mountain Rescue Platoon (1st VGSV) VGSO 21 of the Federal State Institution "Management of the Paramilitary Mountain Rescue Units in Construction". Such a close location (less than 300 meters) is no coincidence: VGSO 21 serves the 6R mine of Transinzhstroy OJSC.
According to some information, the functions of the General Customer for the construction of a special facility in Ramenki (“construction No. 110”) were performed by the 9th Central Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, created in 1955 (military unit 57328).
The facility in Ramenki is allegedly connected to the D-6 line and the Transinzhstroy OJSC system.
The mines above the underground command post in Ramenki are marked (illustration: Military forces in transition. DOD. 1991)
Line 1 (D-6)
Construction of the line began in the mid-1950s, although the idea itself probably appeared under Stalin. Serves for convenient transport communication between Ministry of Defense facilities.
In the 1950s, there was a temporary tunnel connecting the metro and the first metro line 2. Subsequently, this tunnel was closed because a new connection appeared in the area of the Sportivnaya station during the second stage of construction of Metro-2 under Khrushchev.
The main part was built in 1967, completely in 1980, the length together with all branches is just under 25 km. It starts from the “General Headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation” (new building) and has 2 branches. One branch ends at a station and two dead ends at a facility in the Troparevsky Forest Park, officially called the Moscow Metro Measurement and Test Laboratory. Another branch ends in the area of SMU-155 of Transinzhstroy OJSC

fragment of the track development scheme of the Moscow metro with the D-6 system.
Tracing D-6 (stations are named conventionally):
- “Arbatskaya-3” (located under the new building of the Ministry of Defense), there is a siding at the “station”, there is also a junction with the Arbatskaya station.
- “Chertolye” (presumably a clash with military unit No. 25555 in Starokonyushenny Lane).
A breakdown in the area of the Park Kultury metro station with a Circle Line bunker.
- “Frunzenskaya-2” (a collision with the Ministry of Defense building complex on Frunzenskaya Embankment, as well as a walk to the Center for orders and supplies of material and technical means of the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Bolshaya Pirogovskaya, 23).
- “University-2” (terminal station of the main line D-6 with an entrance to one of the blocks of the Scientific Research Base of the Association “SCIENCE” (NIBO “SCIENCE”).
-A few pickets before the “University-2” station there is an exit from the main line D-6 onto a branch, then it splits into two secondary ones. One of which ends in the area of SMU-155 of Transinzhstroy OJSC on Lobachevsky Street and has numerous conflicts with the “underground city”.
-Another branch of D-6 goes to Troparevo, where under the site of the Mosgortrans Measurement and Test Laboratory it ends with two dead ends and a station. Along its length, this branch has connections with several blocks of the NIBO “NAUKA” facility, a complex of GUSP buildings, possibly with the FSB Academy or ICSI.
VSh 341 of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line on Vozdvizhenka is combined with D-6. In addition, VSh-133 is located near the Frunzenskaya metro station. NO more combined mines.
There is a connection between the civilian metro and the D-6 system, starting as a branch from the southern direction of the Sokolnicheskaya line after Sportivnaya station. It's officially a reversible deadlock. The contact rail in this tunnel breaks off 20 meters before the lattice gate covered with fiberglass, behind which the next gate D28 with a massive concrete block is visible. The tunnel continues further, dives under the Sokolnicheskaya line tunnel towards Vorobyovy Gory and immediately after a pair of pressure gates D29 and D29A there is a gate arrow with line D-6. At the entrance to this tunnel, according to rumors, there is the only traffic light in the Moscow metro with two red lights.
Open hermetic gates D28: 1, 2
It is often mentioned that Metro-2 can be accessed from the Main Building of Moscow State University (they claim that the entrance to the tunnel leading to Ramenki is located in the 3rd basement of the main building). However, this information was refuted by the so-called “diggers”, researchers of the Moscow State University dungeons.
Presumably, some time after the construction of Line 1 (D-6), an ultra-deep (130-150 m) trackless excavation was built between the buildings of the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense on Arbatskaya, the Kremlin and Lubyanka. This was done at a construction site on Nikolskaya Street called “Construction No. 100.”
The staff of Tunnel Detachment No. 6 saw off Viktor Frolovich to his well-deserved rest. The last of the generation of Pentecostals was leaving, and then more than three hundred people came from the Taman division alone to build No. 100. The brave Taman guardsmen appeared in Moscow, at the dilapidated house at number ten on Razin Street shortly after the November (1951) parade on Red Square, where most of them marched in orderly rows past the Mausoleum of V. I. Lenin for the seventh time during their service. They learned the address of the office from a representative of Metrostroy, who came to the unit shortly before demobilization.
Line 2 (System of JSC Transinzhstroy)
An extensive two-level transport system constructed by Transinzhstroy OJSC. Construction began in the 80s. It is administered by the SSO (Special Objects Service) of the GUSP. Several intermediate bunkers and many station blanks of large cross-section were created on the line. The length of the main tunnels of the system is at least 40 kilometers.
Illustration from SpetsHacker magazine No. 3 from 2001, article “This is deeper than the subway”
Construction sites of Transinzhstroy OJSC on Obrucheva Street (SMU_162), Serpukhovskaya (SMU-162), at the Central House of Artists (Mine No. 990 SMU-154), in Kadashevsky 2nd (SMU-154), Krivokolenny (Mine No. 732), Ulansky and Arkhangelsky alleys directly relate to this system.
Rare ventilation shafts are justified by a complex branched system of approach workings and vents in the area of special structures along the line route.
Location of shafts/entrances to the TIS system
Legendary lines
Information about the existence of these lines is entirely in the realm of urban legends and is not confirmed by anything.
Council of Ministers system
The line was built in the mid-70s. It starts under the Government House of the Russian Federation (the building of the Council of Ministers). Then it partially goes under Kutuzovsky Prospekt, crossing the Kyiv railway station, where one of the communications bunkers is located. There is a widespread belief about the existence of a station under the Ukraine Hotel. The line continues to run along Berezhkovskaya embankment through the FSO guest houses and Mosfilmovskaya street to the blocks of the Ramenskoye underground complex, located under the FSO special vehicle depot and military unit 95006 GUSP.
Through the bunker you can go to Lines 1 and 2. Perhaps the line goes further to the Scientific Research Institute "Voskhod" (FSUE Scientific Research Institute "Voskhod") on the street. Udaltsov, who was developing the system commissioned by the Council of Ministers.
“... More than thirty years ago, the Research Institute of Automatic Equipment (NII AA), which occupied the most advanced positions in the field of application of computer technology, received a state order from the Administration of the USSR Council of Ministers to develop a system for managing the national economy both in peacetime and in crisis situations...
... The Institute created and implemented a number of large automated systems, the customers of which were the CPSU Central Committee, the Military-Industrial Commission of the USSR Council of Ministers, the USSR Ministry of Defense, the USSR KGB, the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the USSR Border Troops and a number of other ministries and departments. The significance and scale of the first government orders testified to the great trust in the Institute’s staff and the enormous responsibility that fell on its shoulders...”
Zarevo system
An unfinished system administered by the Ministry of Defense. In the 1970s, a tunnel was planned to connect the special facilities of the Ministry of Defense in the Balashikha district (the deployment of special forces) with the KGB building (now the FSB) on Lubyanka Square in Moscow. However, the tunnel towards Moscow was completed approximately to Svobodny Prospekt (facilities: Military unit No. 3747 of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Military unit 11135, 18 Central Research Institute of the General Staff. The construction of this special tunnel was carried out by SMU-13 of Metrostroy.
Construction sites of the system: the Metrostroy base in the Kuchinsky forest park and the FSUE Spetsstroy base in Reutov.
There are oral testimonies of some chatty former military personnel who unanimously stated that the facility was “neglected” and there were impassable rubble on the tracks, but there would be no reason to delve into this, since further on there is an elementary dead end, therefore construction began, but did not end. But since this information is not possible to verify, the entire community closely interested in this topic recognized this direction as also failed and existing at the level of myth.
There is unconfirmed information that the construction of the Novokosino station is linked to the reconstruction/construction of facilities of the Zaryovskaya system.
“... when the huts of the village of Krutitsa stood on the site of southern Reutovo, and Novokosino was not there, the ventilation ducts of the tunnel shaft were already in the middle of the wasteland...”
Chekhov's system
Connects military bunkers in the Chekhov and Leninsky districts of the Moscow region with approach workings. Built in the early 80s. Contrary to numerous rumors, the tunnel connection with Moscow is unfinished - the main tunnel reaches the city of Vidnoye, then branches into two lines: one towards the FAPSI facilities in Tsaritsyn Park, the other was supposed to go approximately along the planned western backup of the Warsaw Highway.
Indeed, in n.p. Alachkovo and Zakharkovo have production bases of Transinzhstroy OJSC and, indeed, under several agglomerative settlements of Chekhov (including Vaulovo) there are bunkers, some of them are united by approach workings. The connection of the network of Chekhov's bunkers with Moscow was planned and, it is true, the general plan was prepared, however, the construction of this line of special tunnels was carried out in the 80s and was interrupted already in the 90s. At the moment, some work is being carried out, but not with the intensity that took place previously under a different government and with other defense tasks.
In 2009, during the construction of an entertainment center at the very end of Leninsky Komsomol Avenue in the city of Vidnoye, builders allegedly stumbled upon the Metro-2 tunnel, the construction process was interrupted for several months
Line to Barvikha
The latest version of Yuri Zaitsev’s scheme indicates a line passing through Rublevskoye Highway, the GO A-50 bunker next to Yeltsin’s house on Osenny Boulevard and further to Barvikha and Vlasikha. However, its existence has not been confirmed and the scheme may be misinformation.
Other lines
It is assumed that there is a tunnel connecting Odintsovo and Krasnoznamensk. It was also reported about the system servicing the facilities at VDNKh. Some GRU employees claim that their department's building on Polezhaevskaya is connected by an underground road tunnel to the Ministry of Defense building on Arbatskaya.
It remains unclear the true purpose of the construction sites (they belong to OJSC Transinzhstroy, judging by the signs) on Barrikadnaya, Novoryazanskaya Street, in Krylatskoye, near VDNKh, Taganskaya, in Odintsovo.
Here is a diplomatic town, where employees of 16 embassies* live, and a student town. Filmmakers and employees of the Council of Ministers received housing in the area of Dovzhenko and Pudovkin streets, on Mosfilmovskaya - the Ministry of Defense, and on Michurinsky Prospekt - university teaching staff and Gazprom employees. People living in such a place are associated with a high level of education and income.
The border of the district from the north runs along the Third Transport Ring and the Moscow River embankment, from the south along the park named after. 50th anniversary of October and st. Lobachevsky, from the west along the track of the Kyiv direction of the Moscow Railway, from the east along Vernadsky Avenue. There is also a lot of unofficial information about the underground city in the area and the secret line of Metro-2.
The district got its name from the village of the same name, the main street of which was located perpendicular to Michurinsky Prospekt on the site of Ramenki Street. The name "Ramenka" comes from the word "ramenya", which means dense forest. On the territory of the modern region, on the hills of the right bank of the Moscow River, there were the following villages: Vorobyovo, Troitse-Golenishchevo, the settlement of Potylikha, the Kamennaya Dam and the village of Gladyshevo.
Ecology
There are no industrial enterprises in Ramenki, and the “wind rose” passing through the area carries clean air from the southwest. Half of the district’s territory is non-residential: it includes the Vorobyovy Gory state reserve, due to which the district ranks first in air cleanliness. The observation deck is adjacent to the Moscow State University campus and the University Botanical Garden.
On a large territory of the reserve there is a complex of guest houses of the Presidential Administration. At one time, the presidents of the USSR Academy of Sciences, academicians Keldysh and Aleksandrov, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers A.N. lived on Kosygina Street. Kosygin, the country's top leaders Khrushchev and Gorbachev.
From the north-west, the green wall of Ramenka protects the natural reserve “Valley of the Setun River”, in which 14 species of plants and 11 species of animals are registered from the Red Book of the city of Moscow. In 2017, violating the Law “On Specially Protected Natural Areas in the City of Moscow,” the Moscow Urban Planning and Land Commission approved a development project for a well-known developer with a total area of about 1.3 million square meters. m. in the area between the street. Lobachevsky, Michurinsky Prospekt and r. Ramenka.
On the street Mosfilmovskaya is the first golf club in Russia; its territory covers 17 hectares of green lawn. The area of the forest park named after. The 50th anniversary of October, located near Vernadsky Avenue, is 67 hectares.
Park 50th anniversary of October
Transport situation
The journey to the city center on your own or by car from Ramenki will not take more than 20-30 minutes, to the Moscow Ring Road 15 minutes, and to any nearest park 5-10 minutes. Exit from the area is possible through Minskaya Street. and Kutuzovsky Prospekt, st. Kosygina, Vorobyovskoye Highway and Third Transport Ring, Lomonosovsky Prospekt, Vernadsky Ave. and Leninsky Prospekt. The total length of roads in the region is more than 46 km.
The main thoroughfare of the district, Michurinsky Prospekt, has been known for many years for its traffic jams due to the lack of metro stations within the district. Not only along the length of the avenue itself, but also further along the entire Borovskoye Highway.For the last 5 years, the avenue has been partially blocked for construction work, which resulted in the opening of the Ramenki and Lomonosovsky Prospekt metro stations and an overpass at the intersection with the street. Lobachevsky. In some sections the avenue was expanded to 10 lanes.
In the first quarter of 2018, the Michurinsky Prospect metro station with an observation deck and other 7 stations of the Solntsevsko-Kalininskaya line on the Ramenki-Rasskazovka section will open, which will significantly reduce the load on ground transport.
Construction of the Michurinsky Prospekt metro station
The Moscow Government also approved a project for planning a territory of 5.5 hectares for the Michurinsky Prospekt transport hub: investors want to build 53 thousand square meters. m of residential real estate, 16 thousand sq. m of retail space and parking for 426 cars.
At the end of Mosfilmovskaya Street there is an exit to the first section of the Southern backup of Kutuzovsky Prospekt, which may relieve congestion on other highways, but will worsen the traffic jam situation in the area. This will especially affect residents of the “old” Mosfilmovskaya, who will continue to travel by bus to the Kyiv metro station or along the new route to the Sportivnaya MCC.
Construction is underway on the section of Minskaya Street before the exit to Kutuzovsky Prospekt.Transport hub next to the recently opened Minskaya metro station. It is planned to build a new stop “Minskaya” on the Kiev railway line; as a result, the transport hub will combine passenger flows of the metro, public transport and commuter trains.
Shopping, entertainment and sports
There are no complaints about the infrastructure of Ramenki, with the exception of large shopping centers. There is only one of them in the area - this is “Capitol on Vernadsky” near the Universitet metro station, where the only cinema in the area is located. In 2016, another Tiara shopping center was opened near the Ramenki metro station, but the tenant mix is in demand only at the microdistrict level. At the same time, there are no problems with small convenience stores and chain supermarkets in the area.
There could also be more quality fitness clubs. The existing “Premier Sports”, X-fit and World Class are usually very overcrowded, and small studios and numerous outdoor programs do not solve the issue, for example, of visiting the pool.
Tennis fans are luckier. So, at the Premier Sports club (Olofa Palme str., 5, building 1, 2)Anna Chakvetadze, former fifth racket of the world, recently opened tennis school for children. On the territory of the Yubileiny sports and recreation centeron 4 indoor courts and 3 outdoor clay courtsThere is another tennis school (Mosfilmovskaya, 41), and away camps are organized for children in the Moscow region and Europe.
The European Tennis School operates nearby (Mosfilmovskaya, 35). The school offers training not only in Russian, but also in English or German, and the qualifications of all coaches are confirmed by the German tennis federation deutsche tennis bund. At the MSU Tennis Club (MSU Sports Town), you can rent any of the 8 courts and use the help of coaches. The Tennis Capital network school (Michurinsky Prospekt, 6) offers affordable admission from 1,375 rubles. for group classes.
The pride of Ramenok's sports infrastructure is the first Russian golf club, built in 1987 on a vacant lot on the street. Dovzhenko. The club operates year-round and offers a large number of programs from a one-time guest visit costing 5,000 rubles. and initial training programs to lifelong club membership.
Entrance to the golf club
Nearby (2nd Setunsky Proezd, no. 5B) there is a unique open-air film adventure park “Mister Panin” (former stuntmen’s fortress “Setunsky Stan”). There are stunt shows and adventure productions with the participation of spectators, exhibition pavilions, for example, the Museum of Military History of Moscow, WWII veterans, the Time of Troubles and a retro car park.
Almost every day there are excursions to the Mosfilm film studio, where you can get acquainted with the sets for popular films, a collection of costumes and retro vehicles, and see with your own eyesfilming locations, pavilions and outdoor locations. Of course, not Universal Studios, but what we have.
In 2013, the Vorobyovy Gory embankment was landscaped and joined to Gorky Park; in 2015, the combined walking area was extended into Muzeon Park, and in 2017, the pedestrian Yakimanskaya embankment was included in it. In total, residents of Ramenki received the best 8 km along the Moscow River for recreation, not counting the surrounding areas, rich in cultural and sporting events.
Study and medicine
There are 23 kindergartens and 21 schools in Ramenki. Among the new educational institutions, it is worth noting the boarding school at Moscow State University, opened in 2016. Most students come from the regions and undergo secondary general education programs with in-depth study of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. The training system at the training center is close to that of a university; classes are held in the form of lectures and seminars.
School of Young Politicians No. 1306 (Michurinsky Prospekt, 15/2) has been operating since 2001 as a general education school, but many services have to be paid for by the standards of private schools. The grandchildren of Yuri Luzhkov, the son of Vladimir Potanin and Anton Siluanov, and the daughter of Musa Bazhaev studied here. Also in 2014, the school’s management became notorious for falsifying the signatures of 4,000 Moscow State University teachers when voting at public hearings on the project for the construction of a primary school block.
“Shuvalov School No. 1448” operates on the territory of the Shuvalovsky residential complex. Only children who have a residence permit in the residential complex are allowed to study there.
School No. 1214 (Mosfilmovskaya St., 21) with in-depth study of the English language was merged in 2014 with Lyceum No. 1586 (Druzhby St., 8). At one time there were strong physics and natural science classes there.
The “Our Traditions” school (Michurinsky Prospekt, 6k.4) with in-depth study of foreign languages considers itself one of the best private schools in the city.
The state school of arts “Inspiration” with folklore, choreographic, orchestral, choral and fine art departments has been opened at 9 Michurinsky Prospekt.
The specialized children's and youth school “Master” (Setunsky 2nd proezd, 5) turns extreme sports enthusiasts of various levels of sports training into qualified stuntmen.
The Moscow State University Botanical Garden offers children's classes in botany in the “Ukropolis” cycle and conducts annual enrollments in the school of gardeners, the program of which is based on analogues of schools at the Royal Botanical Gardens of England.
Higher education, in addition to Moscow State University, in Ramenki can be obtained at the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade and the Institute of International Economic Relations, and next door, at MGIMO, RANEPA, the FSB Academy, MIREA and RUDN University.
Main building of Moscow State University
Among the medical institutions in the district, in addition to the state ones, there are also high-quality departmental ones that provide the necessary services on a paid basis. First of all, this is the United Hospital with the clinic of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation (Michurinsky Prospekt, 6), where you can either visit a doctor once, or undergo a course of procedures, rehabilitation, or go to a hospital. The hospital has 15 hectares of its own forest park.
Polyclinic No. 2 of the Ministry of Economic Development (43 Lomonosovsky Prospekt) has served employees of the Ministry of Foreign Trade (later the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations) and members of their families since the 50s. Currently, the clinic is a multidisciplinary clinical diagnostic center that conducts both complex and rare studies and uses complex treatment methods.
The Gazprom adult and children's clinics (Michurinsky Prospekt 19, building 4-5) provide medical care to gas industry veterans, as well as employees of Gazprom subsidiaries.
Inexpensive secondary
Average price of 1 sq. m on the secondary market of Ramenok ranges from 160 to 700 thousand rubles, the supply capacity is 6 thousand apartments. Thanks to its favorable location and modern infrastructure, real estate prices here are comparable to Khamovniki and Presnensky district. There is no uniform block development in the area. If you are looking for an apartment in a high-class building, the environment will most likely not be so joyful. The exception is the cluster along Minskaya Street.
To use a very rough analogy with movement in the game Monopoly.from cheap to expensive lots, the most affordable real estate in the area is located in the blocks along Michurinsky Avenue. According to the chronology of construction, in the early 70s, microdistrict 23, located next to Vinnitskaya Street, was built up with 9- and 12-story panel buildings. All houses are within walking distance from the Ramenki metro station. True, no more than 20 apartments are offered on the secondary market. For example, a one-room apartment of 35 m2 can be bought for 7 million rubles**, a two-room apartment of 45-49 m2 for 7.7-8.4 million rubles. The average price of m2 here is 170-180 thousand rubles.

23 microdistrict
36 microdistrict between st. Lobachevsky and Udaltsov, as well as microdistricts 37 and 38 adjacent to the 50th Anniversary of October Park, were built with different series of 12- and 16-story panels in the 80s. The average price per meter in these microdistricts rises to 180-200 thousand rubles, and the cost of typical one-room apartments 38-39 m2 to the range of 7.5-8.3 thousand rubles, two-room apartments 51-55 m2 9.2-12 million rubles, three-room apartments 74-75 m2 for 13-15 million rubles.
37 microdistrict
Microdistricts 39 and 40 built in the late 90s and early 2000s are areas with affordable prices, closest to Moscow State University - rental property here will always be in demand.It is worth noting the residential buildings of Gazprom, one section of which (Michurinsky Prospekt, 19, building 1) collapsed in 1997. However, Gazprom received these buildings from the Moscow City Hall to pay off the debt not at cost, but at quite commercial prices. The houses were built using the currently prohibited “wide step” technology, the essence of which was to “separate” load-bearing structures -instead of the standard 3 mthey were located every 7.2 m. Due to this, it was possible to increase the number of apartment layout options.
Gazprom houses
Also, obsolete buildings are located along Mosfilmovskaya Street, but prices in some cases will be significantly higher due to locations with prestigious neighbors. For example, microdistrict 24 consists of only three 16-story panel houses of the 1MG-601 series, built in 1972. There are 4 apartments for sale with an average price per square meter of 200 thousand rubles.
At the intersection with Lomonosovsky Prospekt, on the other side of Mosfilm, you can see the massive construction of 5- and 8-story brick buildings from the late 50s. in microdistrict 4, bordering the Chinese Embassy, Friendship Park and University Avenue. For better or worse, these houses are not included in the renovation program. One-room apartment with area 31-33 sq. m will cost 6.4-6.9 million rubles, a two-room 43-40 m2 will cost 8.3-11 million rubles, a three-room 53-66 m2 will cost 10-17 million rubles.
Next, in the direction of travel, between the territories of the Mosfilm film studio and the Medical Center of the Presidential Administration, will be one of the most intimate and green microdistricts, 6th microdistrict. It contains high-quality brick houses, which are popularly called “general houses” (they were built for the Ministry of Defense).

6 microdistrict
A local landmark is “Katerina’s House” from the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” by Vladimir Menshov. Cost per square meter at st. Mosfilmovskaya, 11 (rooms 1-3) is 280-380 thousand rubles. A two-room apartment of 65 m2 costs 25 million rubles, a three-room apartment of 82-93 m2 costs 25-29 million rubles.
Here are some little-knownin the real estate marketResidential complexes “Patriot”, “Lomonosov” and “White Swan”: apartments in these buildings rarely go on sale and at high prices.
Residential complex "Patriot" and residential complex "Lomonosovsky"
On the opposite side of Mosfilmovskaya Street, the 5th microdistrict of Ramenok, famous for the second round house in Moscow (Dovzhenko St., 6), borders the embassy town. This is a nine-story, 26-entrance residential building with 936 apartments, built in 1976-79. A one-room apartment of 31-33 m2 can be purchased for 6.5-7.2 million rubles, a two-room apartment of 52-57 m2 for 8.7-10.9 million rubles.
round house
Microdistricts 2 and 3, located along the golf club from the very beginning of Mosfilmovskaya Street, began to be built up in the 60s. In the old housing stock on the street. Pyryev and Pudovkin, you can buy a one-room apartment of 32-33 m2 for 6.7-7.8 million rubles on a budget. or two-room apartment 38-54 m2 from 6.8 to 13.7 million rubles. But there are also completely different price tags in the departmental buildings of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the business-class residential complexes “Ordinary Miracle” and “Director”.
The Setun district is a special place, where houses were erected point by point in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. You can enter it along one street - 1st Setunsky Proezd, turning off the embankment or the Third Transport Ring. Prices for 1- and 2-room apartments. apartments do not exceed 7-8 million rubles, but due to the isolated location, we do not recommend purchasing real estate there.
Business Class
If we consider the price ranges of business and comfort class, then in terms of the totality of characteristics, the location, environment and quality of development are worth mentioning the residential complex “Diplomat” (Michurinsky Prospekt, 39). This is a 23-story, 10-entrance monolithic brick residential building, built in 2008 on the border of the 50th Anniversary of October Park. Until recently, its main drawback was the only entrance from Michurinsky Prospekt, which was always clogged with cars. This year the problem was solved by opening traffic along Projected Passage No. 3358. The average cost of a square in a house is 420-460 thousand rubles, in some apartments this figure reaches 500 thousand rubles. Among the features of the residential complex is the presence of multi-room apartments, for example, with an area of 271 m2 for 97 million rubles. or 615 m2 for 187 million rubles.

In 2015, work was completed on long-term construction projects in the 5th and 6th microdistricts of Ramenkialong the street Stoletova. Since the beginning of the 2000s, 26 enterprises have been removed from the development area and 9 five-story buildings have been demolished. In 2009, the first individually designed monolithic brick houses were commissioned, after which the rest of the construction stopped until 2012.At the moment, all the houses in the Michurinsky residential complex have been put into operation, and a wide selection of unfinished apartments with a square price of 220-240 thousand rubles is offered by transfer. Renovated apartments will cost 320-360 thousand rubles. per meter A parking space costs approximately 2 million rubles. Courtyard of house 53 on the street. Mosfilmovskaya has been chosen by filmmakers; a couple of seasons of the TV series “Psychologists” and “Mommies” have already been filmed here.
LCD "Michurinsky"
Opposite is the partially occupied Mosfilmovsky residential complex; final construction work is underway on the territory of the complex. The main disadvantages of the new building are the power lines running on one side, and the southern backup of Kutuzovsky Prospekt on the other side. Nevertheless, the cost per square meter here is higher than in the Michurinsky residential complex, and amounts to 290-300 thousand rubles. per m2 in an apartment without finishing and 400-430 thousand rubles. in finished apartments. A total of 170 apartments are presented on the secondary market. Perhaps the inflated cost of the residential complex is explained by its external resemblance to the elite residential complexes “Shuvalovsky” and “Dominion”, which are iconic for the area, located on Lomonosovsky Prospekt, as close as possible to Moscow State University.
Residential complex "Mosfilmovsky"
Luxury real estate in Ramenki district
Residential complex "Shuvalovsky", built in 2008, consists of 7 brick-monolithic residential buildings in the Stalinist Art Deco style, which was used in the design of Moscow State University buildings.

New buildings in Ramenok
Although Ramenki is one of the most promising areas for the development of the premium new buildings market, there are currently only three new buildings in the area, and all of them have reached the final stage of construction. First of all, these are the 36th and 39th floor high-rises “Setun Valley” adjacent to the Vorobyovy Gory residential complex from the Donstroy company.

Development prospects
In Ramenki, the global development of the “new territory” of Moscow State University, adjacent to Lomonosovsky Prospect from the 50th Anniversary of October Park, is slowly taking place. The project for the construction of university buildings was formed back in the 60-70s of the last century. In accordance with the decisions of those years, two educational buildings, a fundamental library, a medical center, a boarding school for gifted children and a dormitory for 2,500 people have already been built.
New building of Moscow State University
The total development fund for the entire territory will be about 2.5 million square meters. m. It will include a university campus with various scientific clusters and innovative engineering centers, a sports and recreation complex, an exhibition complex and a technology park. It is expected that on the new campus the university’s fundamental scientific research will be continued at a new level, will attract Russian corporations to cooperation and will help retain talented youth in the country.
Residential development with a total area of 190 thousand m2 of apartments is also planned on the territory of Moscow State University, including rental housing for graduate students and teachers, and another 260 thousand m2 in the adjacent territory. Construction will approximately take about 10 years and will be carried out in stages so that construction does not interfere with residents of surrounding houses. Upon completion of construction, compensatory landscaping of 20 hectares of territory will be carried out.
Among the social infrastructure facilities, the plan includes 4 schools for 1,775 places, 7 kindergartens for 1,080 places, a clinic for 250 visits per shift and a shopping complex with an area of 7 thousand m2, garages for 4 thousand cars and underground parking with a capacity of more than 12, 5 thousand parking spaces. The number of jobs in the area will increase from 11 to 20 thousand.

There will be areas for props: for storing antique furniture and costumes from different eras. There will be parking for vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages on the ground floor.
Project of the new Mosfilm pavilion
The implementation of the projects will give a powerful impetus to the development of the region and will have a stimulating effect on various sectors of the economy. The construction of new facilities and infrastructure will be carried out on abandoned land and on the site of garage cooperatives, and the appearance of a university campus will increase the prestige of the area as a whole. The market value of housing in the area may increase significantly. It is planned to organize new public transport routes within the boundaries of the projected area. A street will be built connecting Vernadsky Avenue and Michurinsky Avenue, which is needed by residents not only of Ramenki, but also of the entire JSC.

Stories about an underground city near Moscow have been circulating for a very long time. According to unofficial information, the so-called Metro-2 is a whole network of underground structures that were previously supervised by a special department of the KGB. What has been hidden from prying eyes under the capital's streets for more than 50 years? Let's try to understand a few facts.
In 1992, Yunost magazine published a great novel by screenwriter Vladimir Gonik. The action of the book “Underworld” took place in the underground bunkers of Moscow. At the presentation of the sensational novel, the author himself admitted that he wrote it for ten whole years, and collected information about bunkers and secret metro lines bit by bit. The term itself, Metro-2, was coined and put into operation by Gonik, after which it was already picked up and replicated by all national media.
Medical secrecy
The reader has practically no reason not to believe Vladimir Gonik. The writer indicated numerous high-ranking patients as the source of basic information - Gonik worked for a long time as a doctor in the clinic of the Ministry of Defense. According to Vladimir, initially Metro-2 was only a system of very comfortable bunkers for the leadership of the Politburo and the Central Committee of the CPSU - those who hypocritically declared their readiness to die for the good of the people gathered here to save their skins.
Estimated characteristics
There is only a rough description of the Metro-2 system. This is understandable, the object is secret! It is believed that it passes at a very great depth - some stations lie at 250 meters. There is no contact rail, and the rails themselves are recessed into the floor so that a car can pass. Judging by some data, there are 4 main lines in total. The largest of them is Chekhovskaya, its length exceeds 60 km. Instead of regular trains, special contact-battery electric locomotives run here.
Declassified objects
In 2006, the Cold War Museum, ZKP Tagansky, opened in the very center of Moscow. At a depth of 60 meters, there used to be a secret air defense bunker, connected by a tunnel to a hidden subway system. Even earlier, in 1996, another object was shown: an underground road from the Kremlin to the nearby dacha of Comrade Stalin. It was built back in the 1930s of the last century, so the existence of more advanced and later objects can be considered proven.
The Soviet government built command posts deep underground both in Moscow and beyond. These sites are connected by a network of special deep subway lines that provide a quick and safe means of evacuation for the country's leaders. ... There are deep command posts on the territory of Moscow. One of them is located under the Kremlin. These facilities are intended for national command during times of war. They are located at a depth of approximately 200-300 meters and are designed for an estimated 10,000 people. - Official report of the US Department of Defense
Underground city in Ramenki
Time magazine published a high-profile article in 1992, which showed with much evidence the real existence of an underground city in the Ramenka area. Moreover, evidence was provided by one of the KGB officers - the defector took with him the drawings of a secret object. Ten years after publication, on December 26, 2002, a fire broke out in these dungeons, after which it was no longer possible to hide the bunker.
Before you start reading this article, I want to make a reservation that everything that is written here is by no means classified information and was found on the Internet on public sites and was simply logically compared.There have been rumors about the underground city in Ramenki for a long time, but having become interested in this topic, I naturally did not find anything serious in RuNet. Having scoured forums and various sites, I found only unconfirmed statements about the existence of a secret Kremlin-Vnukovo line and the presence of an underground city in the Ramenok area. The rest of the information comes down to statements like “a drunk plumber said that he saw a tunnel”, “a neighbor’s grandmother hears train noises at night” or “an acquaintance of an acquaintance of an acquaintance...”. In general, there is zero information. Therefore, I did a little digging in a different direction, comparing photographs, facts of the past and present, and my own childhood memories.
So. I think every second, or even the first, interested in this topic has seen this photograph from 1991:
All sites claim that these are mines. I haven’t been, I don’t know, now there is practically nothing of this there, BUT taking a modern photograph, with good vision, we unexpectedly find ... “mine No. 3”.)))
Of course, she is now poorly distinguishable, in the colorful roofs of garages, of which there are a great many, but nevertheless, it is her. Some may say that the location does not quite match, but consider a slightly different angle and the fact that the area of the rectangle sandwiched between Moscow State University, Michurinsky Prospekt, 50th Anniversary of October Park and Vernadsky Prospekt is only 2x1.6 km and its central part is entirely visible on picture. It’s difficult for even a small object to get lost here. Turning to the sites, we find absolutely unverified information that this is a mine disguised as a “concrete factory.” Here's this little factory, but from the opposite side:
Everything is abandoned, only there is a new thorn on the fence:
It is located here:
If you're looking at If you can imagine the photo from above, then you can easily find the building in Yandex maps, at least by the large shadow, and if you zoom in, you will recognize all the roofs. By the way, “Zavodik” can be seen from two sections of the main alley of the park.
At first I was alarmed by the booth at the top, but after rummaging on the Internet, I found factories from the times of the USSR, both with and without booths:
As a result, I had the first questions: Why is there a need for a concrete plant far from the roads, in this particular place (it used to be a vacant lot, now it’s a garage) and why it hasn’t been liquidated during all this time.
Now a small digression. For further narration, it is necessary to mention several facts.
1. The “concrete production plant” was already in the industrial zone behind Michurinsky, built back in 1948 for the construction of Moscow State University. There were also other enterprises related to both ordinary and railway construction. I remember the buildings of these factories, but finding information about them again turned out to be a problem. Now a residential complex is being built in their place and in connection with this a decree has been issued with a list of liquidated enterprises, among which the largest territory is occupied by the Ramenskaya base of Mospromstroy (area 8.45 hectares, JSC ZhBI-10 and Glavmosstroy (8.73 hectares), Mospromstroymaterials ( 5.73 ha),Promzheldortrans (6.9 ha)
It was located here (the former industrial zone is outlined in red):
Apparently such an assistant as the “concrete factory” from the photograph was simply necessary for the industrial zone occupying several blocks.)))
2. There was a railway line in Ramenki that operated from 1949 to 2002. It was built again for the construction of Moscow State University. Even marked on maps 20 years ago:
I personally remember diesel locomotives crossing Michurinsky and creating problems for motorists.)))
Considering the above facts, questions arise: Why is a factory needed far from all construction sites, but not far from an industrial zone profiled for construction, with a railway line located much closer to Moscow State University. Second question: Why is the railway line so strangely curved? Many will easily find information that it seems that there were also industrial zones there during the construction of Moscow State University, BUT looking at the map, it is clear that the railway line does not pass through them, but goes around them in the backyards. Having imagined the location of the “mines” from the first photo and mentally continued the strange bend of the railway line, we get the following picture:
I’m not at all hinting at the fact that there was a branch going underground, it’s unlikely, but this area was always remote and quiet, no one really climbed there and somehow there wasn’t even any special desire to wander into the eternally silent garages. In general, continuing the mental thread, we ended up in the area of the so-called third high-rise building on Vernadsky Avenue (still with armed guards, by the way), randomly passing in the vicinity of the “mines.”)))
Here the Ramenka River is crossed by two pipes about a meter in diameter, leading from the residential area towards the center of the park. One of them (No. 2) can even be seen in Yandex satellite maps:
Their purpose is unclear; the only building in the park is the administration, which is a small building with a yard for cleaning equipment and is located in the middle of the park. Meter-long pipes do not extend to such buildings and at such a distance.
If you have an explanation for these illogicalities and oddities or other thoughts on this matter, I will be glad to know them!)))
Thank you for your attention!
Secret Underground City.
A series of university Legends about the dungeons of the university campus on the Lenin Hills and the Secret Underground City.
I have heard more than once that strange things are happening in university dungeons.......
2) And here is an outstanding documentary film by the legendary university director Dima Ze about the Moscow dungeons near the university. At the end of the 1990s, the Great Russian Stalker and Underground Mystic, the leader of the Russian digger movement, the Legendary Vadim Digger, visited our dungeons on a friendly visit. Although this person is very secretive and difficult, and Vadim does not like to give away the secrets of his work, he respects Dima Ze, so he gave him the opportunity to make a film about himself and his fellow diggers.
It is clear that this is already the end of the era of complete anarchy and spontaneous lawlessness, which was the 90s, and even in the dungeons new times are already beginning.
