Coat of arms of the municipality Babushkinskoye in Moscow

Heraldic description

In the blue shield of the Moscow form divergent golden oak and laurel branches in the belt. At the top of the shield is a silver amphibious aircraft of the Sh-2 series. In the lower part of the shield there is a red-green boundary pillar edged with silver, divided by a rafter seven times. On top of the pillar are superimposed a crossed silver hammer, pointing downwards, and a silver sword, pointing upwards. nine0005

Explanation of symbols

Silver amphibious aircraft of the Sh-2 series symbolizes the merits of the famous polar pilot M. S. Babushkin, after whom the municipality got its name. The border post symbolizes the Moscow Military Institute of the Border Troops. The sword symbolizes military units, military scientific institutions and educational institutions, including the famous Moscow Suvorov School. The hammer symbolizes the location of a number of large industrial enterprises on the territory of the municipality. Oak and laurel branches symbolize military and labor prowess. nine0005

Formation and development of the Babushkinsky district

The natural park in the north-east of Moscow begins with Sokolniki, occupies the territory of the Yauzsky and Losinoostrovsky forest parks, stretches beyond the Moscow ring road to Mytishchi, Kaliningrad and Balashikha.

Losiny Ostrov is the first national park in Russia. If you look at the national park from a helicopter, you will see that it really looks like an island, surrounded by a sea of ​​neighborhoods and enterprises. nine0005

The Slavs, the Vyatichi, were the first to settle in this territory. They built their settlements on high hills along the banks of rivers, protected by dense forests and impenetrable swamps. Settlements were connected by large and small rivers, along which boats of fishermen and hunters, and sometimes overseas ships, sailed.

The Vyatichi first lived here in dugouts, then there appeared log huts made from centuries-old firs and pines, covered with aspen shingles. Aspen was widely used: boats were made from the thickest trunks – dolbushes, wood chips went to torches, and basically all household utensils were made from aspen: troughs and shovels, ladles and bowls. The best well log cabins were also made of aspen, its durable wood does not spoil the taste of well water. Ash from aspen logs was used to whiten canvas. Flexible hazel twigs were valued. Bows, baskets, and wattle were made from it. Coal hazel powder was part of the then similarity of gunpowder. Lipa was assigned the role of shod everyone in bast shoes made of lime bast, from small to large. nine0005

In the men’s mounds of the Vyatichi, archaeologists find knives, axes, scrapers, in the women’s kurgans – sickles, numerous decorations, especially temporal rings and lattice rings of fine workmanship. Three such mounds have been preserved on the territory of Losiny Ostrov.

The first mention of Losiny Ostrov as a “small land” in Russian chronicles dates back to 1339. The formation of Moscow as the capital of Rus’ had just been completed, and even then it was a large forest area among villages and arable lands.

Elk Island is currently a unique natural complex, where a rare variety of flora and fauna (more than 200 species) has been preserved: spotted deer, roe deer, rare birds – pheasants, gray partridges, herons. There are moose (hence the name). It has been protected since the time of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, first as a “sovereign reserved grove”, then as a reserved forest.

Every tsar searched in Elk Island for something that best suited his temperament. So Ivan the Terrible preferred falconry. 300 falcons were kept for him. The local places were also the favorite place of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich during his departures from Moscow. In the southeast of Losiny Island, a country residence was built for him: a hunting palace, ponds, cages for game. The current Sokolniki is the former royal Sokolniki Grove, next to it is Deer. Moose pens, bear baiting were also arranged for the king, he hunted ducks and herons here. nine0005

According to the behavior of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, tree nurseries were also established, seedlings from which were planted throughout the forest. The pine grove around the former royal residence has since been called Aleshevskaya. This is the oldest grove in the Moscow region.

During the reign of Peter I, a number of decrees were adopted to protect the nature of this unique region. In 1703 – a decree on the protection of individual forests with especially valuable tree species. In 1714 – a decree banning elk hunting. In 1722 – an instruction on the procedure for felling and protecting forests. For example, deforestation was prohibited around Moscow within a radius of 10 kilometers. In 1805, Elk Island was listed as a protected forest. nine0005

Many representatives of Russian culture connected their creative activity with Elk Island. The artist I. Levitan liked to work here. The writer and scientist Boris Zhitkov told about his impressions, about the life of the forest and its inhabitants in his wonderful books.

The Yauza River originates in the Elk Island National Park.

Nowadays, different species of trees, shrubs, herbs, various forest, meadow, field and marsh flowers coexist in the national park. nine0005

Species that are exotic for our area have also taken root here: Siberian cedar, Amur velvet, Manchurian walnut, and red oak.

The adornment of the local forest and, undoubtedly, one of its most ancient inhabitants is the elk. The length of the elk reaches almost 3 meters, weight up to 400 kilograms. The elk loves the forest, peat bogs, lakes, streams, so the conditions of the national park are the best suited for it. The elk runs well, although he looks clumsy and heavy, he is an excellent swimmer.

Today, 260 species of various animals live in Elk Island. Moose, deer, wild boars, foxes, squirrels, hedgehogs firmly settled here. There are beavers, ermines, weasels. In streams and backwaters there are 19fish species.

A new history for these places began at the end of the century before last, when the geography of this region was significantly different from the modern one. Despite the proximity of Moscow, it was a real wilderness. The forests, interrupted by fields, were called “islands” by the locals, and due to the predominant stay of animals, one of them was called Losiny Ostrov. The forests were full of animals and birds, and the Yauza River, full-flowing at that time, abounded in fish. And only in 1860, when the Yaroslavl railway stretched to the northeast from Moscow, primitive life was stirred up. In 1883, a small railway station “Platform of the 10th verst” appeared, renamed 1898 year to Losinoostrovskaya station, near which a summer cottage settlement of the same name later arose. Soon the construction of the country house began. And Muscovites rushed to nature. The village began to be called a city in the late 20s and at first bore the name Losinoostrovsky. Almost before the Great Patriotic War, the city of Losinoostrovsky was renamed the city of Babushkin, in honor of the famous polar pilot, hero of the 20-30s, Mikhail Sergeevich Babushkin.

Zhenya Rudneva, a student of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow State University, volunteered for the front from the city of Babushkin during the war years. She wrote poetry, showed promise as a future scientist, but she had to master the by no means female profession of a pilot. And she became one of the best Soviet pilots of the Great Patriotic War. Zhenya was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. One of the streets of the Babushkinsky district bears her name. There is a monument to a brave patriot. nine0005

In 1957, during the large-scale construction of residential areas and the Moscow ring road, the city of Babushkin became part of the city of Moscow and became one of the districts of the capital. The name of the district remained the same – Babushkinsky. If you look at the map of the district and the districts of the city of Moscow located next to it, then a certain direction in the name of the streets, such as Lenskaya, Yeniseiskaya, Verkhoyanskaya, Taymyrskaya, Tayozhnaya, Amundsen, Sedova, Chelyuskinskaya, Malygina and, finally, Pilot Street, is involuntarily surprising Babushkin. These names reflect the attention, the gratitude that was given by the inhabitants to their countryman, a native of these places, a well-known polar pilot. One of the first Heroes of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Sergeevich Babushkin. October 6, 2005 is the 112th anniversary of his birth. Street names reflect the geography and flight history of M. S. Babushkin, who were followed with great attention not only by fellow countrymen, but by the whole country and even the whole world. nine0005

Currently, Babushkinsky District is part of the North-Eastern Administrative District of Moscow. The district was formed in the central part of the former Babushkinsky district. It occupies an area of ​​505.6 hectares and is home to 77.1 thousand people.

Today, there are 128 trade enterprises, 26 public catering enterprises, 113 household and communal services enterprises in the Babushkinsky district. There are 5 shopping centers for residents of the district. Residents are served by 6 polyclinics and the 20th city clinical hospital. nine0005

There are 15 preschool institutions and 10 general education schools in the district, the Moscow Suvorov Military School, which is an educational institution of an all-Russian scale, four higher educational institutions: Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Academy of Social Management, Moscow Economic Institute, Moscow Border Institute of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, which is also educational institution of the all-Russian scale. Industrial enterprises, dozens of state and commercial organizations, interest clubs and sports sections operate on the territory of the district. nine0005

Babushkinsky district, as they say – “sleeping”. Therefore, the subject of constant attention and concern of the district leadership is the maintenance and operation of the housing stock, the improvement of streets and courtyards, the desire to ensure that the inhabitants of the district live comfortably and calmly here.

Yeniseiskaya, 19, building 1, a new Raduzhny shopping center was opened, in which the Perekrestok grocery store, a number of industrial trade enterprises, 3 consumer services enterprises, and the Seven Knots restaurant operate. In 2010, the number of enterprises serving under the Muscovite’s Social Card increased in the district (13 shops and 18 consumer services enterprises). The population is served by the City Clinical Hospital No. 20, two polyclinics, the well-known in the city Center for Family Planning and Reproduction No. 3, and a dental clinic. At present, a modern sports and recreation complex “Yauza” operates in the district. nine0005

Babushkinsky district is prosperous from the point of view of ecology. It has a lot of green spaces and practically no large industrial enterprises. The development of a town-planning plan for the territory of the district continues, which will provide for the construction of residential buildings, educational institutions, health care, consumer market enterprises and services. The purpose of the implementation of the town-planning plan is to increase the comfort of living for the residents of the Babushkinsky district.

Fryazino residents are invited to Losiny Ostrov: a water ecological route has been opened there

The water ecological route was created here for the first time, it opened on July 1, 2022. nine0005

Better than a spa resort

The tour does not adversely affect the flora and fauna that inhabit the reservoir and its banks, the organizers assure. Participants of the rafting are offered to calmly observe nature, take pictures.

Marvelous landscapes, about 20 species of waterfowl that have just finished their nesting period, forest animals in their natural habitat – in a word, everything that is inaccessible to the inhabitants of the stone jungle . Tourists are promised to be shown the beaver hut, and if you’re lucky, then spotted deer – they often go to the water. nine0005

Everyone over the age of 14 is invited to the tour. Special preparation is not required. The rafting is accompanied by experienced instructors who will teach you how to control the kayak and ensure safety.

Two routes are offered: short and long. The length of the first one is three kilometers, the travel time is one and a half hours. The second is 10 kilometers, the journey lasts more than three hours and includes a stop on the island. The kayaks depart from the Moose Biological Station and return to the starting point. nine0005

From the hunting grounds to the reserve

“Elk Island” people began to settle in relatively late – the places are inconvenient, marshy, the soil is mostly poor. The peak fell on the XV-XVI centuries. At the same time, for the first time, the name was mentioned – “The Moose Island”. “Island” – a grove among the cultivated land, “linear” – from the word “rut”, meaning the pursuit, persecution of the beast on the hunt, “moose” – in honor of the largest animal that lives here. Only in 1804 it became a specially protected natural area. nine0005

Today, the Losiny Ostrov National Park is a wildlife reserve within Russia’s largest urban agglomeration. There is no such thing in the world. Its area is more than 12 thousand hectares. It has 44 species of mammals, 170 birds, 9 amphibians, 5 reptiles, 19 fish, and about 800 plants.

On a visit to Frosa and Stepan

There are 5 eco-centers in Losiny Ostrov: Krasnaya Pine, Russian Life, Tea Party in Mytishchi, Arboretum and Moose Biological Station. There are various workshops, excursions, educational events and much more. Visitors are introduced to the life of the Slavs, residents of pre-revolutionary Russia, the nature of the Moscow region. nine0005

The most popular eco-center is perhaps the Moose Biological Station. Tourists are offered to feed the moose – orphaned or injured artiodactyls undergo rehabilitation here. The probability of meeting sika deer, fallow deer and deer is also high – and they come here for goodies. In addition, a couple of wild boars live in an enclosure on the territory of the ecocenter: they were tamed by summer residents as piglets, but when the animals grew up, people stopped coping with them. Now Frosya and Stepan are on the allowance of tourists and the state.
