About

Local historian Oleg Fochtkin will talk about how the areas along the Warsaw Highway have changed, which places have preserved memories of the past, and why this part of the capital deserves a separate guide. The Warsaw Highway connects different eras and districts of Moscow. The route stretches from Bolshaya Tulskaya Street to Southern Butovo and is now considered the longest street in the capital. But behind the numbers and scale lies a much more interesting story - about former outskirts, old roads, urban transformations, and places where history coexists with everyday life. At the meeting, Moscow expert Oleg Fochtkin will present a new guide dedicated to the Warsaw Highway and will analyze it as a space of memory. The discussion will cover events related to this part of Moscow, the streets and museums around the Warsaw Highway, and the names that have preserved traces of the past. There will also be a separate discussion on how territories that were perceived as suburbs of the capital 100 years ago gradually became part of the big city.
