🇷🇺 Cheryomushki District, formerly Brezhnevsky District, is a district of South-Western Administrative Okrug of the federal city of Moscow, Russia.
The district is delimited by Nakhimovsky Avenue (north), Obrucheva Street (south), Sevastopolsky Avenue (east), Profsoyuznaya Street, and Vlasova Street (west). The district is mostly residential, with an industrial area near Kaluzhskaya metro station. It houses the old Gazprom headquarters.
History In 1956, the northern side of the district became a site of a massive, cheap housing construction (known as Khrushchyovka) and a microdistrict was built there. Cheryomushki became a common word for such housing projects. The Soviet-era buildings in this area were torn down in the 1990s-2000s and replaced with high-rises, also of standardized prefabricated concrete.
Following the death of leader Leonid Brezhnev, the district was renamed Brezhnevsky District (Брежневский район) in his honour. In 1989 the name was changed back to Cheryomushki.
In the early 1980s, the government built a number of better quality, brickwork apartment buildings that acquired a reputation of, by local standards, elite housing, and called Tsarskoye Selo (Царское село, Royal village). In the 1990s, it served as a nucleus of a massive new housing construction project between Garibaldi Street and Gazprom tower.
Transport: Public The western side of the district is accessible by the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of the Moscow Metro (stations Profsoyuznaya to Kaluzhskaya). The eastern side is also accessible through the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line (Sevastopolskaya, Nakhimovsky Prospekt).
Economy Gazprom has its head office in the district. The airline Aero Rent has its head office in the district.
Cheryomushki has a population of over 102,619 people. Cheryomushki also forms part of the wider Moscow Oblast which has a population of over 17,300,000 people.
