The restoration of the façades of the Baevs' city estate, located on Prospekt Mira (Building 52, Buildings 1 and 2), has been completed. The complex consists of two mansions dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, connected by a passageway with a winter garden. The buildings are under the jurisdiction of the Main Directorate for Servicing the Diplomatic Corps of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (GlavUpDK under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia) and are designated a cultural heritage site of regional significance.

"The Baevs' city estate on Mira Avenue is a valuable architectural landmark, preserving much of its façade decoration, executed in the eclectic style of the second half of the 19th century, incorporating elements of various historical European styles. One of the main decorations and most distinctive elements of Building 1 is the asymmetrically positioned bay window with volute brackets and façade moldings. Similar brackets can also be seen under the passageway arch. Façade restoration began in 2024 and is now fully completed," said the head of the Moscow Department of Cultural Heritage.

Alexey Emelyanov.

According to him, specialists reinforced the brickwork, removed later paint deposits from the stucco and drawn decoration, and repaired the plaster surfaces. The facades were restored to their original light green color, which restorers discovered during their research.

Additionally, during the work, the interior entrance doors were replaced with wooden ones, based on historical counterparts. Backlighting was installed on the facades facing Mira Avenue, the roofing was renewed, and the artistic roof railing was recreated. All work was carried out according to the approved design and under the supervision of Department of Cultural HeritageThe restoration was carried out by the Main Directorate of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The history of the Baevs' city estate dates back to the 19th century. After the fire of 1812, the wooden buildings on 1st Meshchanskaya Street (now Prospekt Mira) gradually gave way to stone buildings, mostly two-story. In 1816, the site of the current complex was occupied by an Empire-style mansion belonging to the Moscow merchant Vasily Yerofeyev.

The property was divided into a courtyard and a garden. A two-story stone house once stood where Building 2 stands today. Outbuildings were located along the northern and southern boundaries of the property, and a wooden gazebo stood in the garden on the eastern side. In 1848, a mezzanine floor was added to the main house. In 1867, when the estate belonged to the hereditary honorary citizen Alexandra Epishkina, the Empire-style façade was rebuilt in the eclectic style, embellished with Baroque elements. The architect Vasily Shtrom designed the project.

In the second half of the 19th century, the estate changed hands. In 1896, it passed to the Baev merchant family, headed by hereditary honorary citizen Ivan Baev, owner of the shoe company "Baev Ivan Denisovich Sr. and His Brothers." As the family grew, new space was needed, and active construction began on the property. That same year, 1896, a two-story mansion with a mezzanine in the eclectic style was erected on a vacant lot along the street, designed by architect Vladimir Chagin. It was connected to the main house by a passageway with a winter garden on the second floor.

After the 1917 revolution, the estate buildings were nationalized and, several decades later, transferred to the use of the diplomatic corps.

A rare primate was born at the Moscow Zoo.

On September 1st, a baby Diana monkey, listed on the IUCN Red List, was born at the Moscow Zoo. Staff are not handling the baby to avoid stressing it, so the newborn's sex is still unknown: the genitals of these primates are hidden by the inguinal fold.

"For the first few days, his mother, Fiona, carried him constantly, never letting go for a minute. After two weeks, the cub began to slowly crawl off her and explore his surroundings. Now he spends a significant amount of time with his mother, who continues to carry him, but also climbs the bars on her own, walks on the shelf, and sometimes plays with his older sister, Viola," said Svetlana Akulova, General Director of the Moscow Zoo.

For the first weeks of its life, the baby fed exclusively on its mother's milk. Now it is gradually beginning to try other foods: iceberg lettuce leaves and pieces of fruit. The Moscow Zoo's diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, green branches and leaves, as well as boiled chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, and yogurt. The baby observes the adult animals and samples all the food within its reach.

The newborn is cared for solely by its mother, a female named Fiona, who was born at the Novosibirsk Zoo in 2008 and moved to Moscow at the age of six. Two years later, a male named Tuwei arrived in the Russian capital from a zoo in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Together, they formed a pair, and seven years ago, the two monkeys had an offspring—a female named Viola. She now shares an enclosure with her parents and the newborn in a family group. When Viola was about two months old, her father took over her care—a behavior rarely seen in the wild among Dian monkeys. The male kept the female away from the infant and cared for and guarded it alone.

Now the family group can be seen daily in the Primate House pavilion.

The Diana monkey is considered one of the most striking members of its family. Its coloring is striking and contrasting: its back is covered in gray and chestnut fur, its paws and tail are black, and a white stripe runs down its thighs. The rump and inner thighs are tan or cream-colored, and its muzzle is black, framed by white fur and a beard.

These primates live in small groups consisting of one adult male and several females. Gestation in Diana monkeys lasts five to six months, resulting in the birth of a single infant (twins are extremely rare). The infant is born with its eyes open and its body covered in fur. It clings tightly to its mother's fur with its arms, holding on to her belly.

They've been joined by employees of a coffee shop in Troitsk, who are collecting humanitarian aid supplies containing food, medicine, and thermal-resistant cloaks.

Since the first days of the special military operation, owners of Moscow stores, shopping centers, car dealerships, and other service providers, as well as city restaurateurs, have been regularly sending humanitarian aid to the combat zone. The parcels include long-lasting products such as canned meat, fish, and vegetables. In addition, soldiers are receiving tons of rice, buckwheat, barley, pasta, and sweets. Businesses are donating personal hygiene products, medications, and seasonal clothing, including jackets, boots, and thermal underwear. Furthermore, they are sending construction materials and even military equipment, including quadcopters and entire convoys of vehicles, to the front.

Moscow Mayor: A unique high-altitude park will appear on the site of the monorail in 2027

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Work continues on the reconstruction of the Moscow Monorail, in place of which a unique park will be created at a height of six meters above the ground.

"In 2027, a unique park will appear on the site of the outdated transport system. This will be Russia's first year-round promenade park at a height of six meters. The area will connect five districts—Ostankino, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky—home to over 300,000 people. The city's new pedestrian artery will connect VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route and, of course, offer stunning views of our beloved Moscow," he wrote on his channel.

The Moscow Monorail was built over 20 years ago. The approximately five-kilometer-long line had six stations.

From 2004 to 2007, the line operated as a tourist route, with trains running every 30 minutes. Since 2008, the line has been used as regular public transport, with monorail trains running every six minutes.

With the opening of the Moscow Central Circle and the extension of the Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya metro line in 2016, Muscovites began using the monorail less frequently. Moreover, half of its route is duplicated by tram routes 11, 17, and 25, and partially by about 20 other ground transit routes. Consequently, the monorail was reverted to a tour-only mode. In recent years, fewer than two thousand people used it per day, with over 90 percent of those passengers being tourists. Thus, the monorail effectively lost its transportation function.

In this regard, Muscovites were proposed to create Russia's first year-round elevated promenade park on the monorail infrastructure. This idea was strongly supported by the majority of voters in the Active Citizen project.

Muscovites voted to create a park on the monorail site, according to Sergei Sobyanin.

The park, covering over 40,000 square meters, will be open 24 hours a day and will become a modern, comfortable space for sports, walks, family recreation, and gatherings with friends. The park is planned to feature a four-kilometer running track with two-way access, walking paths, cafes and restaurants, exhibition spaces, and cozy recreation areas with flower beds and trees. Thus, the monorail, which has served Muscovites for many years, will be given a second life.

The demolition of a one-kilometer section from the former Vystavochny Tsentr monorail station to the depot, including the former Ulitsa Sergei Eisensteina station, has now been completed. This has opened up a panoramic view of the main entrance to VDNKh.

In addition, the area around the former Sergei Eisenstein Street station is being improved. All work is being carried out in strict compliance with safety regulations.

Reconstruction of the preserved monorail stations "Exhibition Center", "Akademika Korolev Street", "Telecenter", "Milashenkova Street" and "Timiryazevskaya" is underway.

A new green space will connect five districts in the northeast of the capital: Ostankinsky, Alekseevsky, Timiryazevsky, Marfino, and Butyrsky. These districts are home to over 300,000 people. The park will serve as a new pedestrian artery for the city, linking VDNKh Park, Ostankino Park, the Botanical Garden, and Timiryazevsky Park into a single route. With panoramic views of the city and proximity to the country's main exhibition center and the Ostankino TV Tower, this area will become a new tourist attraction for the capital.

The park will offer everything you need for comfortable relaxation and leisure: shelters with protection from the elements, easy navigation, free Wi-Fi, park furniture with charging stations for gadgets, vending machines, and drinking fountains.

Five of the six monorail stations will be preserved and transformed into two-story park pavilions. For example, "Telecenter" will become a venue for media projects and installations, while "Milashenkova Street" will become a functional exhibition hall. The former "Vystavochny Tsentr" station will house an observation deck overlooking the main entrance to VDNKh and the "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman" monument.

Access to the park will be through the reconstructed pavilion stations or one of eight specially constructed additional staircases. The area will be well-lit, including architectural lighting, making it comfortable to explore not only during the day but also in the evening. For the safety of residents and tourists, a video surveillance system will be installed, and access by bicycles and scooters will be restricted.

In memory of the Moscow Monorail, two trains are planned to be preserved, allowing park visitors to examine them in detail. They are planned to be located at the Ulitsa Akademika Korolev station and near the turnaround loop at Timiryazevskaya station. Visitors will be able to learn about the monorail's history on special information boards. Furthermore, a section of the track will be preserved at the observation decks, with comfortable benches installed directly on it.

The new park is expected to be visited by up to 20,000 people a day, which is 10 times more than the number of people using the monorail.

Experts are currently finalizing the park's comprehensive architectural concept. Completion and opening to Moscow residents and visitors is planned for 2027.

Similar projects to create parks on the sites of obsolete transport infrastructure have been implemented in major cities around the world. For example, the High Line in New York City (USA) and the Goods Line in Sydney (Australia) were built on the site of former railway lines, while the Skygarden in Seoul (South Korea) replaced an old highway overpass.

Sergei Sobyanin explained how public spaces in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug will be transformed.
