街区概况
The name goes back to the Basmannaya Sloboda, where bakers made “basman”, the state bread for the court. Nearby on the Yauza lay the German Quarter, where the young Peter the Great discovered European ways of life.
In the 18th century noble estates grew up along Staraya and Novaya Basmannaya streets. In 1799 Alexander Pushkin was baptised in the earlier church at Yelokhovo; the present Epiphany Cathedral was built in 1837–1845.
In the 20th century the area was industrial, and in the 2000s former workshops near Kursky Station became the Winzavod and Artplay art clusters.
