Sokol
Bezirk
The district of the Sokol artists’ settlement — a 1920s cooperative settlement, rare for Moscow, of wooden and rendered cottages among gardens.
Über den Bezirk
The Sokol settlement was founded in 1923 as a housing cooperative; its houses were designed by the Vesnin brothers, Nikolai Markovnikov and other architects. Its streets were named after Russian painters.
On Leningradsky Prospekt stands the 18th-century Church of All Saints, a remnant of the old village of Vsekhsvyatskoye. Nearby a memorial park honours heroes of the First World War on the site of the Brotherhood Cemetery.
