Kokoshkino population. History of the Kokoshkino settlement

The village of Kokoshkino, which preceded the current settlement, received its name from the Kokoshkin family, who built an estate here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

In 1952, construction began in this area, and a small town near Moscow grew up in place of the swampy woodland. Now in Kokoshkin there are nine nine-story buildings, one twelve-story building, twenty-two brick five-story buildings, as well as eleven houses with fewer floors.

The settlement has two secondary schools and one music school, a branch of the institute has been opened, and there are also several kindergartens, a clinic and a hospital, and other elements of social infrastructure.

In 1953, many workers from different regions of the USSR came to Kokoshkino for construction; prisoners released under amnesty also arrived here, and even people with Moscow registration who dreamed of quickly building separate housing for themselves. First, a tent city grew up here, and then construction of five-story residential buildings began.

In March 1956, the Kokoshkinsky dacha council of the Naro-Fominsk district of the Moscow region began operating in the village. In 1957, a nursery and a clinic opened in the village, at which time a bathhouse and a Young Builder club were already operating here.

Kokoshkino was considered a residential area, since there were no large enterprises here, and the majority of residents had to go to work in Moscow. In the 1970s, the square in the center of the village was landscaped, and on May 9, 1977, a monument to soldiers who died during the Great Patriotic War was unveiled. The opening of the memorial was preceded by a thorough search work to find out the names and surnames to be included on the monument’s slabs.

In 1883, gasification work began in the village of Kokoshkino, and already in 1984, not only boiler houses, but also the apartments of some residents were supplied with natural gas. In 1987, natural gas was supplied to all houses in the village. At the same time, new artesian wells were put into operation, and the old water tower, which had served for about 30 years, was eliminated. Along the way, the housing stock was being renewed; new ones were built to replace the old wooden two-story houses. In 1992, new equipment was installed at the local telephone exchange, and more than 80% of residents were provided with telephone communications.

In 1995, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Victory Day, a new memorial was opened in Kokoshkino. In 2001, a new church was consecrated in the village in honor of saints Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia.

After the law of the Moscow region “On the status and boundaries of the Naro-Fominsk municipal district and newly formed municipalities within it” came into effect in 2006, the village of Kokoshkino acquired the status of an urban settlement. On July 1, 2012, the urban settlement of Kokoshkino became part of the Novomoskovsky administrative district of Moscow.

Historical reference:

Kokoshkino is a young settlement; until 1952, there were forests and swamps on the territory of the modern village. Behind the railway at that time there were houses of the private sector “Pyatidvorka”, so named in memory of the first 5 houses of the founders of the village in the late 1920s - 30s; today these houses are located on Uchitelskaya Street. In 1939, the private sector population was about 500.

The village got its name from the name of the landowners Kokoshkins, an ancient princely family, whose family estate was located in these places in the Zvenigorod district of the Moscow province. At the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th centuries. the owner of the estate was Fedor Fedorovich Kokoshkin (1871-1918) - master, private associate professor, professor of the department of public law at Moscow University, who was shot after the start of the October Revolution. Figures from the family coat of arms of the Kokoshkins (an anchor and four arrows in an azure field) are used as the basis for the coat of arms of the urban settlement.

In 1952, construction of the future village began. The first tents, temporary huts and tarpaulin tents of builders appeared. At first, potbelly stoves were used for heating, cooking was done on kerosene stoves, and kerosene lamps were used for lighting. By winter, the first panel houses were built. In 1953, builders arrived from the regions and the Chuvash Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In the summer of 1953, a tent city was set up “on a hillock” near the forest on the site where the stadium of the new school and houses No. 2 on Dachnaya Street and No. 3A on Shkolnaya Street are now located.

In 1955, a school was opened for children. On March 14, 1956, the Kokoshkinsky Dacha Village Council began its work, located in a 2-story wooden building on Dzerzhinsky Street, 6, which is no longer preserved. In the 1950s, the Glavmosstroy Kindergarten was opened in a wooden house on Shkolnaya Street. In 1957, 2-story brick buildings for a clinic and a nursery were built on Dzerzhinsky Street. In the same year, the bathhouse and the Young Builder club began operating. By 1959, the population of Kokoshkino reached 4,200 residents.

People called the village “dormitory” due to the absence of large enterprises on its territory. Most of the residents went to work in . In Kokoshkino they received housing from such organizations as Glavmosstroy, Dorkhimzavod (NPO Plastik), Vnukovo Production Association, Gidrospetsfundamentstroy, Vzryvprom trust and others. Active construction was underway on Shkolnaya Street, 5-story brick houses were erected here, and the Beryozka cafe was opened in the extension of house No. 12. In the early 1970s. Houses Nos. 1 and 2 on Dachnaya Street were commissioned, and in April 1972, the first 9-story house No. 3 in the village was built.

In the 1970s, a boiler house was put into operation on Dzerzhinsky Street, the square in the center of the village was landscaped, where blue spruce trees were planted, and a newsstand was opened. In October 1972, in the former premises of a nursery on Dzerzhinsky Street, Kokoshkinsky District Hospital No. 2 was opened, a hospital for therapeutic and neurological patients with 80 beds. Construction of residential buildings was underway on Dachnaya Street. Before the start of the heating season of 1972, a new boiler house began operation, which ran on liquid fuel (today it is boiler house No. 8 of the Teploset municipal unitary enterprise).

In August 1976, a 9-storey apartment building was built on Dzerzhinsky Street (house No. 1), followed by another 9-storey building (Dzerzhinsky Street, 2). In September 1976, a new three-story high school on Dachnaya Street opened its doors, the first director of which was G.I. Blinov.

On May 9, 1977, a monument to fellow countrymen who died during the Great Patriotic War was inaugurated.

On September 1, 1977, a music school was opened on the premises of the Kokoshkin eight-year school. In the fall of 1977, Vnukovo kindergarten No. 36 began operating on Dachnaya Street. In 1979, a 5-story brick house No. 5 was built on Dzerzhinsky Street.

In 1983, natural gas was supplied to the boiler house in Kokoshkino, in February 1984 natural gas was supplied to the apartments of the village residents, and complete gasification of the village was completed in 1987. By 1984, with the commissioning of new artesian wells to provide the village residents with water, the water tower on Shkolnaya Street, which had been in operation for about 30 years, was dismantled.

In 1984, a 5-story brick house No. 3 on Lenin Street was commissioned. In 1987, construction began on a new 12-story residential building on Dzerzhinsky Street (house No. 4), in 1990 the house was built, and 191 apartments were occupied by residents. Additions have been made to the building for a pharmacy and a savings bank. Simultaneously with the construction, the demolition of dilapidated and emergency housing stock along the streets of Dzerzhinsky, Lenin and Truda was carried out.

In 1990, a unified public utilities service was formed, the “Vodokanal”, “Heating Network” and “Electric Network” sections were created, and numerous departmental house managements were liquidated. In 1992, new local telephone exchange equipment was installed, which made it possible to provide telephones to more than 80% of Kokoshkino residents.

In the 1990s, the Berezka cafe, the Young Builder club, a bathhouse, a fur studio, and the premises of the trade union library of Glavmosstroy on Lenin Street, 4 were sold to private entrepreneurs. Currently, the building of the former library houses a store, restaurant and sauna.

In 1995, on the day of the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a new monument to the fallen compatriots was unveiled.

In 1995, the administration was transferred to a new building on Shkolnaya Street, a wholesale and retail market was opened on the same street, and the ambulance department, previously located in an apartment in a 9-story building on Zheleznodorozhnaya Street, received a new building. In 1999, the Hercules sports and fitness complex began operating in the building of the former kindergarten No. 35 on Dachnaya Street, a sports club. A computer class began operating in one of the kindergarten premises. The branch of the Central Regional Library moved to the same premises on the 2nd floor. The Kokoshkin Music School also moved there and celebrated its housewarming on December 14, 2001.

Built in 2001 on Truda Street.

In 2002, the population of Kokoshkino was 9,900 people. This year, construction began on the Sosny residential complex on Dzerzhinsky Street. On September 30, 2009, the first monolithic brick house of the complex (house No. 6) was put into operation, on February 16, 2012, the second house No. 8 was commissioned.

The village of Kokoshkino continues to be built up and developed. The population of the village in 2011 was 11,600 people.

The amphitheater in Kokoshkin - you must agree, sounds bizarre and even extravagant. But nevertheless, this is not fiction - the construction of the Kokoshkin analogue of the famous Roman Colosseum has already begun. Inspired by this news, the NO correspondent decided to find out what else the small settlement of New Moscow, which challenged the Eternal City itself, could surprise the world with. And we went to Kokoshkino.

The amphitheater is being built near the railway station. This is exactly the central part of the settlement. There are many shops around, there is even an old club, which, however, is no longer in operation.

There are archival photographs of the village in the local library, let me show you everything,” smiles local resident Enver Sofinov, one of the activists of the Tatar community of Moscow and the Moscow region, a member of the Union of Journalists. - I’ve lived here since 1998, I’ve been studying local history for a long time, I’ve already collected enough material about Kokoshkino to fill a book.

We walk through green courtyards to the old library building. Bright new buildings and highways can be seen nearby. Most recently, a new automobile overpass in Kokoshkin was opened by Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

The library is located in an old building among trees and residential buildings. It also houses a local music school. It's cool inside and smells of old books - the same smell we had in our school library in my hometown.

People from Kokoshkin often come to us! The library is popular,” librarian Natalya Averina greets correspondents and points to a clearly new stand at the entrance. - We organized a book circulation event. The guys bring books that they have already read, leave them here at the stand and take new ones.

The Kokoshkin Library has preserved a large number of books about the settlement, about honorary residents, and about the heroes of these places.

We also have local legends,” Enver smiles mysteriously and takes out archival photographs.

Legend of the driver

Kokoshkino began to be rebuilt in 1952. Until this time, there was a railway station and several villages - Brekhovo, Novobrekhovo, Sanino, which are part of the settlement.

Brekhovo is the estate of the Kokoshkin family, where they lived. Its owner, Fyodor Kokoshkin, was a deputy of the State Duma of the first convocation,” says Enver and shows me a portrait of a handsome man with a thick mustache. - In 1918, he was killed in the hospital by sailors.

It is believed that the urban-type settlement was named in honor of the owner of the estate, a representative of a famous noble family. However, there is another version.

Until the 20s of the last century, this platform was officially an unnamed stopping point “Rezezd 33rd km,” says Enver. - Even the letters have been preserved, where this address is indicated - the 33rd kilometer. Although back in 1899 it was already mentioned as Kokoshkino. There were only barracks and a wooden house around; the locals called these buildings “pyatidvorka.”

The driver of the Moscow-Kyiv-sortirovochnaya station lived here. His name has not been preserved, but they called him Kokoshkinsky. So in Tsarist Russia it was customary to give nicknames that reflected the name of the estate. He was shot by the White Guards in 1917, but the name became attached to the station - hence the name. This version has many opponents, but it has a right to exist.

The legend about the river Dunno

There is a river called Neznayka in Kokoshkino. Immediately, of course, I remember the hero of Nikolai Nosov’s work - a little man in a blue hat. The river seems similar to him - just as mischievous, cheerful and playful. Along the banks you can see backwaters and whirlpools three meters deep.

Why is it called Dunno? - I ask the local historian.

Yes, imagine the dialogue. “What kind of river?” - “I don’t know.” And so it went - Dunno, - Vladimir Dobrokhotov, another resident of Kokoshkin, whom we met on the way to the river, laughs into his thick mustache. “We moved here with my parents when I was three years old. I have been living since then.

Locals say that the French who died in battle during the retreat were buried in mounds on the banks of the Dunznaika River.

But I haven’t seen any mention of this in any source,” says Enver, “so it’s definitely a myth. They also say that the fish in it are large - pike, perch, crucian carp. Our people repeat that Dunno is a river of miracles.

There are several settlements on the river with unusual names - Kharino, Penino, Piskovo, Starolesye. It has three tributaries - the Likova and Svinorka rivers, and near the village of Marushkino - the Aleshenka stream.

On old maps the river is called Neznan, Neznanka,” explains Enver. - Apparently it’s a mysterious river.

The Legend of Ponds and Sholokhov

In addition to the river, Kokoshkinsky ponds glisten in the sun - three artificial reservoirs, densely covered with greenery along the banks. There used to be a beach here and locals often swam. Now there are only ducks and rare fish in the water. No one knows how the ponds appeared; there is no mention in the documents. But there is a legend about other bodies of water in the settlement.

According to Enver, the Kokoshkin family was also known for the floating islands that they built on the rivers on their estates. However, this was not the case in Brekhov.

In June 1993, the Moscow Journal published Natalya Runovskaya’s story “What’s in my name...”, says Enver. - In it, the author talks about the Kokoshkin family. Natalya Runovskaya met with the great-granddaughter of Fyodor Kokoshkin the first, Irina Fedorovna Kokoshkina, the sister of the owner of the estate in Brekhov. She mixed up the ponds in two different estates. There were no floating islands with musicians and benches in Brekhov, this is how the Kokoshkins had fun on their other estate - Bedrino, now Nekrasovka in the Lyubertsy region.

There’s nothing left of our estate in Brekhov,” adds Vladimir. - I only remember the big cast-iron gates and that’s it, they’re gone. Although, they said, barns and some cellars were preserved.

By the way, the Kokoshkin family was friends with writers, poets, and the most famous people.

Irina Fedorovna said that Leonid Andreev, Pavel Antokolsky, Andrei Bely, Alexander Blok, Valery Bryusov, Vasily Vatagin (animal artist), Igor Severyanin, Marina Tsvetaeva visited their house,” explains Enver. - And she also said that she was the godmother of actor Alexei Batalov. He later told someone in an interview that he did not remember his godparents. And Irina Fedorovna asserted this. Now, of course, it is difficult to verify this fact.

Old-timers told me that Sholokhov also appeared here,” adds Vladimir Anatolyevich.

The legend of the fascist landing

Not far from Kokoshin, closer to the village of Zaitsevo, earthen fortifications have been preserved in a field. Some of them have already been filled in - new housing complexes were being built there. But some still exist.

Baba Vera lived here with us, she told us that during the war, German troops landed near Zaitsev,” continues Vladimir. - They looked at this silence around and disappeared somewhere. But there remained trenches and pits where there were dugouts and cells of riflemen. We played war games there.

There is also a memorial in Kokoshkino - an obelisk dedicated to local residents who died on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. It is located just between the station and the amphitheater under construction. On two marble slabs there are 64 names of family members of Kokoshkin residents who did not return home from the war.

Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Dmitrievich Levchenko also lived in Kokoshkino. He lived modestly and didn’t tell anyone much about the war or his exploits. In 1943, together with another soldier, he penetrated behind enemy lines, captured two anti-tank guns that were impeding the movement of our tanks, reported the situation by radio and held the position until reinforcements arrived. In 1944, Alexander Dmitrievich was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

Uncle Ignatov came to our school for courage lessons,” adds Vladimir. - He burned in a tank four times, four times he was taken to be shot. Twice - the Germans, twice - ours for not saving the combat vehicle. Then they sorted it out and let me go. He is from Kokoshkin too, he lived here. On vacation, he traveled all over the Union, earned money for monuments and installed them.

We pass by two ancient old women. Both are wearing headscarves and have kind faces.

Hello, have a nice day! - Avdotya Mikhailovna nods.

Previously, all the Kokoshkinskys knew each other, greeted each other, and communicated. Now many new houses have been built, and the people there are different. Almost all young people come with families, but the place is quiet, just right for walking along the green paths with a stroller.

The legend about the musical village in New Moscow

In general, our village is musical, there are many groups, both youth and adults,” says Enver. - I recently went to a “dacha” - an analogue of a city apartment. There were a lot of girls and guys there, everyone was passing the guitar around and singing.

Boys about 12 years old run past, I stop one of them - the tallest one.

Kokoshkino is a musical village, there are many groups, both youth and adults

“I want to go to music school, I’m learning to play the piano,” Nikita says in an almost adult voice. - And my dad writes poems himself and sets them to music.

Vladimir says that the passion for music began in Kokoshkin a very long time ago. When the magazine “Young Technician” published a tutorial on how to build a guitar, everyone started making them themselves.

We sat all day, tried, tried, but there was always a problem with the fingerboard,” recalls Vladimir. - At first, my mother also sent me to a music school, but when it comes by force, it doesn’t take root. And then in one group I saw a guy play “I Met You...” overkill, and that’s it, the world ceased to exist for me. I spent six hours at home figuring out how to play it. Happened! And at the age of 15 I wrote my first song. Patriotic.

BY THE WAY

The Kokoshkins are a Russian noble family. The founder was Vasily Vasilyevich Glebov, nicknamed Kokoshka ( which means “large, heavy”. - "BUT" ). The Brekhovo estate was bought by the grandson of the famous playwright Fyodor Kokoshkin - Fyodor Fedorovich Kokoshkin, who was born in 1871. His cousin, Nikolai Alexandrovich, was an actual Privy Councilor.

REFERENCE

The floating islands in the Bedrino estate were peat areas of land that were separated from the shores of the lake and moved on the water. Often there were plants and even trees on them. Orchestras performed on the islands and gazebos were installed.
