Street history:
Mokhovaya Street is one of the most central streets in Moscow. It starts from Borovitskaya Square, runs parallel to the Alexander Garden and ends at Tverskaya Street and Manezhnaya Square. Its continuation is Okhotny Ryad Street. And initially it began at the intersection of Znamenka and Volkhonka streets.
The street got its unusual name in the 17th century, thanks to the Trade Row located here, the main commodity of which was moss for filling up cracks in huts. At first, the area in front of the Trinity Gate of the Kremlin along the Neglinnaya bank, where they traded in moss, began to be called 'moss' (this place is now the building of the Manezh), and later the entire street.
In 1961, from three streets Mokhovaya, Okhotny Ryad and Teatralny proezd, they made one long one - Marx Avenue. And in 1990 all the names were returned back.
In the first half of the 15th century, at the beginning of the street there was a country courtyard of the Grand Duchess Sophia Vitovtovna. Now on this place is 'Pashkov House' and the complex of the Russian State Library.
In 1565, in the middle of Mokhovaya Street, between Vozdvizhenka and Bolshaya Nikitskaya, on the site of the courtyard of Prince Cherkassky destroyed by fire, the Oprichny Court of Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible was built. In 1571, the courtyard burned down during the invasion of the Crimean Khan. Scientists have established its location along the river sand, which metro builders stumbled upon in the 1930s. Now on this site is the New University Building with the Church of St. Tatiana, now the Faculty of Journalism.
In 1823-1825, the Manege building was built on the site of the former Mokhovaya Square.
By the end of the 19th century, the street had already assumed the form that we are more or less familiar with. In the 1930s, Mokhovaya was reconstructed, then all the buildings of the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Rumyantsev Museum were demolished, up to the Pashkov house. In their place, a new building of the V.I. Lenin (now the RSL). On the site of the Church of St. George in 1932-1943. A residential building in the spirit of 'classic Palladio' (no. 16) was erected by architect I.V. Zholtovsky. On the right side, Mokhovaya streets are crossed by Tverskaya, Bolshaya Nikitskaya, Vozdvizhenka and Znamenka streets; on the left, Manezhnaya Square and Borovitskaya Square are adjacent to it.
