A walk along Sretenka Street to Clean Ponds in Moscow Ep. 82

[4K] 🇷🇺 A walk along Sretenka Street to Clean Ponds in Moscow Sretenka (at the beginning of the XVI century Ustretenskaya Street) is a street in the Krasnoselsky and Meshchansky districts of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. It runs from Sretensky Gate Square to Bolshaya and Malaya Sukharevskaya Squares. The numbering of houses is carried out from the Sretensky Gate. Sretenka goes from southwest to northeast; it runs from Sretensky Gate Square to Bolshaya and Malaya Sukharevskaya Squares. It serves as part of the north-eastern transport beam, the beginning of which is Bolshaya Lubyanka, and the continuation beyond the Garden Ring is Mira Avenue and Yaroslavskoye Highway. The street was named in the XVII century after the Sretensky Monastery, which was located on this street (now this part of Sretenka is called Bolshaya Lubyanka). The monastery got its name in honor of the deliverance of Moscow from the conquest by the troops of Tamerlane in 1395. Expecting the invasion, Grand Duke Vasily Dmitrievich ordered the miraculous icon of the Mother of God to be moved to Moscow from Vladimir. On August 26 (September 8), 1395, Muscovites came out to meet the icon. A monastery named Sretensky was founded at the meeting place of the icon in 1397. The old names of the street are Ustretenskaya (the beginning of the XVI century) and Stretinskaya Street[1].
