Great Stroginsky Zaton how to get there. How to get to the recreation area "Stroginskaya Poima"

I will devote two posts to the Stroginsky backwater. Here I’ll show you photos from today’s walk along its western part... And a walk along the eastern part will take place sometime later.
The backwater itself, if I understand correctly, is an artificial object. Moreover, it appeared on the map of Moscow quite quickly.
Let's look at pictures and maps of the area surrounding the backwater, starting in 1964.

There is no backwater yet. You yourself can clearly see that the Moscow River has a uniform dark color, and what is on the site of the future backwater is white. Also uniform. A swamp, probably. But there is Clean Bay. Therefore, it is older than the backwater.
And to the west-northwest of this place you can see the village of Strogino. As for the Stroginsky highway and the bridge of the same name... You can see for yourself.

Nothing has changed in three years. There is no backwater. There is a clean bay, of course, but it’s not included in the strip.

Schematic plan of 1968. Nothing. The clean bay was probably eaten up by generalization.

Satellite image from 1971. Only three years have passed, but the backwater already exists! In modern outlines! You can see for yourself that it has the same color as the river. True, a little lighter, but oh well.
The village of Strogino has not gone away, and the absence of the Strogino highway and bridge has not gone away either.

One more shot. 1979 The surroundings of Strogin are being built up, there is a backwater, there are bunnies of the Stroginsky Highway, but there is no bridge yet.

Finally, here is a diagram of Moscow in 1989. Everything is already there. And the backwater, and urban development, and the highway, and the bridge. And the village of Strogino is still there. But then it will disappear, really. You can see it yourself on the OSM map on the left.

And so, today I took a walk along the western coast of the backwater. Like this:

People are sunbathing, cyclists are riding, children are squealing, laughing and playing hide and seek... And I walk around and take pictures.

“Strogino” is written on the stands, but the stadium is called “Yantar”. You can also see residential complexes located in the vicinity of the Sokol and Oktyabrskoye Pole metro stations. "Triumph Palace", for example.

Church of the Life-Giving Trinity in Trinity-Lykovo. As you can see, it is being restored.

Do you want to take a walk to the Zhivopisny Bridge?

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There, in Trinity-Lykovo.

This is, of course, a burdock. But the burrs are with him, with him.

"Scarlet Sails". Behind them is the residential complex “Two Captains”. Landmark: near the Shchukinskaya metro station. Across the road.

Twin towers. They are somewhat similar, but not twins. This is the Olympia residential complex, located on the other side of the highway from the backwater.

On the shore of the backwater there are the remains of a forest.

Residential complex "Amber City".

Kafka Salinger on the beach. I didn’t take a picture of the girl because I don’t like taking pictures of people, but the book is welcome. “The dude whines all the time about how lame he is,” the characters in “South Park” aptly conveyed the contents of the book. And they are right. In my own way.

I, of course, could be wrong, but it seems to me that those three towers in the background are located on the shore of the Skhodnensky diversion canal, not far from the Khimki Reservoir.
Well, yes, exactly. Take a closer look at the photo: you can still see the shopping complex, which is located near the Tushino station. Everything is there, nearby.

What is the name of this plant?..

What is the name of this plant?..

The main construction quarries were determined by the size of the extracted gravel mass and the percentage of minerals, the volume of overburden (soil covering non-metallic materials), as well as the location near the main construction sites. To comply with the planned schedule for the consumption of non-metallic materials, it was necessary to mechanize the quarry farm as fully as possible and carry out work all year round. Despite the identity of most of the deposits, there were no developed standard designs for quarries.
The Stroginsky quarries were no exception to the general rules. Located on the right bank of the river, in an alluvial valley, they were in close proximity to the construction of locks 7 and 8. Taking into account the fact that these locks are two-chamber, and the drop height is 36 meters, the volumes of concreting were very large and required a large amount of high-quality gravel and sand.

Southern section. Khimki and Skhodnensky junctions with numbering of construction projects (canals, locks, buildings and structures).

For the construction of the canal, 30-35 main fields were developed. The main type of production was gravel, as the material required in the first place. The balance of sand during construction was not very stressful, since in addition to specially explored sands for concrete and for the construction of filters, during the extraction of the main type of non-metallic materials - gravel, at least 24% of the total volume of gravel mass was extracted from the gravel mass containing it as a by-product of sand for concrete.
The Strogino quarries had one of the highest explored mass indicators: 774 thousand cubic meters. The overburden thickness here was very small. In fact, it was necessary to remove the top fertile layer, after which deposits of mixed-grained sand and gravel of medium fractions began, most suitable for the preparation of ready-mixed concrete. At the same time, the yield of gravel from the mined layer was 30%, which is a high figure.

The main characteristics of non-metallic deposits developed during the Construction of the Moscow-Volga Canal:

The cost of mining for the construction of the Moscow-Volga canal was generally very high. For individual quarries, the average cost fluctuated quite significantly.
Such a high (at that time) cost of soil excavation and the poor efficiency of the excavator fleet at the canal construction quarries are explained by the fact that the types of excavators used did not fully correspond to the work conditions, the quality of the mining personnel at the quarries was low, and there was improper organization of work.
In the Stroginsky quarry, the cost of manual overburden work was the highest in all quarries; during mining, the cost of manual labor decreased noticeably due to mechanization. The cost of excavation work, on the contrary, during stripping was comparable to the average for quarries as a whole, and during mining it increased, which indicates significant expenses for depreciation of equipment.

Average cost of mining operations (in rubles)

The most labor-intensive process, stripping, was the lagging behind in terms of mechanization of work. Even in 1935, non-mechanized stripping operations reached almost 100%. But gradually, with the growth of the technical equipment of the quarries, the mechanization of this area of work also increased.
Work on opening the deposit began with a number of preparatory activities:
a) Clearing the surface, felling trees, cutting down bushes and uprooting stumps. At the same time, the forest was used for construction needs, and the bushes for fuel.
b) Organization of drainage works, which were also carried out manually.
c) Preparation of pioneer trenches. The overburden and production faces were straightened and streamlined, and the operating sites of the quarries were leveled.

Scheme of mining operations in a quarry using a closed system of soil movement in the goaf.

The overburden soil was transported in most quarries to a dump, and the gravel mass and pebbles were transported to a processing or crushing plant.
Manual mining of the overburden was carried out by transportation by wheelbarrows or Koppel trolleys over distances of 200-450 m.
The work was carried out periodically: first, stripping in one direction of the strike of the deposit, then in the opposite direction - excavation of the productive strata. The next strip of overburden was also carried out "for sweeping", but into the mined-out space after excavation of the gravel mass.

Combined map of 1941 with the boundaries of the Stroginskaya floodplain of 2004:

A German aerial photograph from 1942 shows the quarries in much the same condition as they were during the final period of construction. A little more than six years have passed since the construction of the canal. Two large quarries are visible, with an area of 4.5 and 6.7 hectares. Moreover, the southern quarry is partially filled with overburden dump. There are four more medium-sized quarries and a large number of small ones around. The total area of all excavated quarries is about 14.5 - 15 hectares. This estimate is very approximate, but it is close to the true one.
From the overlay of the modern floodplain contour it is clear that the northern quarry became the basis of the Small Stroginsky Bay. Two more small quarries became ravines, which are still visible on the right hand when driving along the Stroginskoye Highway towards Shchukin. The rest of the quarries went under the water of the Greater Stroginsky Bay.

Combined map of 1952 with the boundaries of the Stroginskaya floodplain of 2004:

And on this map from 1952 you can estimate the volume of developed soil. The daytime surface is located at 127-128 m above sea level. The water level in the river was 125.9 m. The depth of water in the lakes at the quarry sites is indicated as 2-2.5 m. By the way, it is interesting that the river level rose by this amount after it was blocked by the Karamyshevskaya dam. Quarries were developed down to the groundwater level. Those. The surface of the groundwater table in these places always correlated with the river level. It turns out that the average depth of the quarries was 4-4.5 m, and the volume of soil removed over the entire period was 580-650 thousand cubic meters. m. Of these, 75-100 thousand cubic meters. m was overburden.
From 450-550 thousand cubic meters. m of extracted minerals, gravel accounted for 1/3 of the mass (~ 150-180 thousand cubic meters). Explored reserves of gravel amounted to 770 thousand cubic meters. m. So, if for the construction of the canal there was a need for further development of the quarry, then the size of the Stroginsky quarry could become five times larger and reach up to 75 hectares, which in area would be close to the modern value.

Wikipedia is silent about the backwater, like a partisan. There are not even links from the Strogino page. Where can I look for historical information about this interesting body of water, which is located in Moscow and is more than a kilometer across?
What if we resort to cartographic sources?
Five minutes of clicking on the website retromap.ru - and we managed to find out something. In particular, the fact that at the end of the fifties of the last century (then there was no Moscow Ring Road!) there was a swamp at the site of the backwater. And yet, if I correctly understand the map of Moscow from 1957, there were some streams there.
In general, one thing is clear. The reservoir is young, it is a little over fifty dollars. And it did not appear right away - this is evidenced by the study of the area on maps of different years. Somewhere we see two bays on the Moscow River (obviously, they arose on the site of those streams). And somewhere there is a single object, but not yet so large. And only in the late seventies the backwater acquired its modern appearance.
Somewhere there was information about sand quarries. But the maps clearly indicate that the area there was swampy. Or is sand also mined in swamps with meadow vegetation?..
And where did the water that filled the future bed of the backwater come from? The same map of the late fifties confidentially told me that at that time there was already a canal named after Moscow and the Khoroshevskoye straightening... But there was no backwater yet.
In any case, the history of the backwater can be traced. And this is good.

- The train goes to the Strogino station. Be careful, the doors are closing...
Strogino station... Maybe we can get there? Thus, I will end up on the western shore of the backwater. Yes, I will do that.
It’s a very short walk from the metro to the backwater: first along Stroginsky Boulevard, then along the green park area, maneuvering between the sports facilities of the Yantar stadium.
And here it is, the backwater. On the opposite bank there are some residential complexes, industrial zones and the tower of the Oktyabrsky Radio Center. I am standing on the shore along which there is a path. Between mine and the opposite shore there is one and a half kilometers of water. I'm telling you, it's a unique place. There is no other place like it in Moscow. Or almost not...
And so I walk along the shore. Sometimes going deep into the shore, sometimes going to the water's edge. The coast changes: somewhere there are sandy beaches, somewhere the coast is high. And it is on the high banks that there are signs “Swimming is prohibited!”

***
Inhabited places. Here and there there are tents. I even saw a whole tent camp with pants drying on a line. Somewhere there is a “weekend group” who decided to spend their day off on the shore. Several adults, a brood of children, bottles, kebabs - everything is as it should be.
- Listen! Take a photo of me, eh! - one of the vacationers stops me. - Look, what a bright shot: a red-haired man against a background of golden foliage!
I sluggishly brush myself off and move on. I agree, man, I agree: it could have been a good shot. But I’m never a portrait painter, I don’t want to offend you.

***
There were also garbage heaps. Especially if you get into hard-to-reach places.
And here is the grill. Empty grill, ready for use. Come, light the fire, put on the skewers. There's not a soul around.

***
I walk along the shore, admiring the objects on the opposite banks. Here are “Scarlet Sails”, here is the aforementioned radio tower. There are the churches of the Life-Giving Trinity and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. But here is a man who for some reason is looking at me intently and expectantly. It turns out that I was going straight to the fishing rod that he had installed on the shore. One step or two - and I’ll trip over the fishing rod and get tangled in the fishing line. I change course and go deep into the forest.

***
I stand on my hands and knees for ten to fifteen minutes, trying to photograph a red leaf lying on the ground among yellow and brown ones. Having taken a more or less decent photo, I also notice a flower. It’s autumn all around, slushy, cold, wet, but you know it’s blooming. Look...

***
...M-mm-ma-a-a-at my rake took... I'm standing in a swamp. Well, or not in a swamp - just rainwater flowed into the lowland. But horseradish is no sweeter than radish: there is water all around, and I’m wearing city shoes. If you want to follow my path, put on ankle boots, right?
Okay, okay. Step by step, little by little. The farther from the water, the higher. The higher, the drier. Slowly, trying not to fall into the water, I retreat from the shore. Five minutes later I crawl out onto an asphalt path along which pensioners with dogs and young people with strollers walk.
Uffff... The walk was a success.
And I’ll let you judge how successful it was. Based on the story and photos that I’m about to start showing you.
