Autumn is wonderful this year. The trees are still bursting with colors and only recently have their leaves begun to fall off. And a week ago, everything was just showing off in place.

And I found a new fun. Walking during lunch isn’t enough for me, now I sometimes go for walks in the mornings too :))) It’s just that the start of the working day was postponed for 10 o’clock, and no one even thought about postponing the start of school. In light of this, you still wake up as before, and the child goes to school as before, so now I have almost a whole hour of time in the morning. Fortunately, we now work in the center and there are so many places to walk. And how I enjoy this circumstance!

The weather was wonderful that week. And one morning I decided to take a walk to the Hermitage Garden. Many times we walked past it during our walks, but somehow never got inside.

On the way to the garden I looked at the decoration of all sorts of cafes

And this name, apparently, arose in light of the sanctions :)))

The bike rack is almost empty. It has become very popular to ride a bicycle to the office; every day I see office workers on bicycles from the bike rack

Just the day before I saw an interesting house here

And the interesting thing is the decoration. I've never seen houses decorated with bats

Walk quickly along the side streets to the Hermitage Garden. It's already on the horizon. But I had time and I decided to walk along Uspensky Lane, which is next to the garden and has just been restored.

We walked along this alley many times, but somehow I didn’t remember anything about it at all. And now he looks much better. Placed benches and flower beds

And the lanterns, in appearance, are the same as the gas ones that stood in Moscow more than a hundred years ago.

All you have to do is paint the building a little, put an emphasis on it - and the look of the alley is completely different

And behind the building is something without which it is impossible to imagine the city - the domes of churches

Well, now you can take a look at the Hermitage Garden

I came in from Uspensky Lane and immediately came across a large children's playground

Squirrels are said to live in this enclosure. But early in the morning I found only the janitor there.

How to describe the feeling when you are walking through a very popular place in Moscow, where in the evening there are always a lot of people, but you walk and there is not a soul around? Beauty!!! Early morning, autumn trees, leaves underfoot, but only a janitor rarely flashes anywhere.

There are several theaters in the Hermitage Garden.
The monument is a monument to Victor Hugo.

Monument to Dante Alighieri (it seems that it was a gift to Moscow from the Italians)

Another theater is the New Opera. The building is already more than a hundred years old, I later read this. And at first I thought it was a successful remake.

And on the balconies on the sides there are such visitors

As a matter of fact, the Hermitage Garden was not always the way we are used to seeing it. It was even located in a different place: from 1830 until almost the end of the 19th century, it was located on Bozhedomka and was the first pleasure garden in Moscow with gazebos, flower beds, a theater, a stage, coffee houses and pavilions. It reached its greatest prosperity in the era when it belonged to the famous entrepreneur, former actor of the Maly Theater M. V. Lentovsky. K. S. Stanislavsky recalled the Hermitage Garden of that time: “What was there in this garden: boating on the pond and water fireworks of incredible richness and diversity with the battle of armadillos and their sinking, tightrope walking across the pond, water festivals with gondolas, illuminated boats, bathing nymphs in the pond, ballet on the shore and in the water. Processions of a military orchestra, choirs of gypsies, Russian songwriters. All of Moscow and foreigners visiting it visited the famous garden.”

However, Lentovsky went bankrupt, and the garden fell into disrepair, and later it was completely built up with houses, and nothing any longer reminded of the times when all this bygone splendor was located on the site of Samotechny Lanes.

Hermitage Garden. Century XIX. And so begins the history of the Hermitage garden in Karetny Ryad, born on the site of the former estate of merchant V.I. Olontsova. After several attempts to create a theater and garden here, undertaken by the Moscow Artistic Circle, merchant M.A. Lipsky, mechanical engineer K.V. Moshnin, the entire site came into the possession of the Moscow merchant Ya.V. Shchukin on July 16, 1894. This date is celebrated as the birthday of the Hermitage Garden.

In just a year, a boring wasteland turned into a blooming garden, flower beds and paths were laid out, trees and shrubs were planted, the theater building was reconstructed, and on June 18, 1895, the Hermitage officially opened. The Moscow public showed considerable interest in him - Shchukin's tenacity and enthusiasm aroused involuntary respect even from those who reproached him for his lack of subtlety of taste.

In the same year, electric lighting appeared in the Hermitage, running water was installed, and a swimming pool was installed. A year later, one of the first film shows in Russia took place here.

F. I. Shalyapin, A. V. Sobinov, A. V. Nezhdanova, S. V. sang on the stage of the Hermitage. Rachmaninov made his debut as a conductor, Sarah Brenard, Maria Ermolova, Vera Komissarzhevskaya played. In 1898, the Moscow Art Theater was opened in the building of the Hermitage Theater. The first performance was “Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich”; it was here that the premieres of Chekhov’s plays took place. L.N. Tolstoy and V.I. Lenin visited the garden.

Shchukin constantly undertook the construction of new theater venues, in 1909 the summer “Mirror” theater was built, it was planned to open a unique winter theater with 4 thousand seats, but this plan was only partially destined to take place: the box, now called the Shchukin stage, is all that succeeded erect. Unfavorable circumstances generated by the First World War and the revolution led Shchukin to ruin.

After the revolution, the garden was first nationalized, then, during the NEP period, it was transferred to private rent. In 1924, the building of the Hermitage Theater housed the MGSPS (Moscow City Council of Trade Unions) theater, then it was renamed the Mossovet Theater, Yu. A. Zavadsky was appointed chief director. The Hermitage Garden continued to be a favorite vacation spot for Muscovites. And even global cataclysms could not change this.

During the war, the garden was closed for only a short time - from the autumn of 1941 to April 1942. Performances resumed in 1943. The artists who returned from evacuation rehearsed and played in an unheated building, but the Hermitage lived on.

In the summer of 1945, the garden was reconstructed, in 1948 a summer concert hall was built, where A. I. Raikin later performed, performances of the Puppet Theater took place, K. I. Shulzhenko and L. I. Ruslanova sang, and an orchestra conducted by L. O played. Utesova.

In the 50-60s. in the Hermitage garden they played chess, walked, read, listened to famous artists, and watched movies (in 1953 a screen for a summer cinema was installed). During the Festival of Youth and Students in 1957, one and a half million visitors visited the garden. V. S. Vysotsky, the duet R. Kartsev - V. Ilchenko, and foreign musical and theater groups performed here. The first play “What?” took place at the Mirror Theater. Where? When?".

On November 20, 1980, the building of the Hermitage cinema was transferred to the Theater of Miniatures under the direction of A.I., who came to Moscow. Raikina.

In 1991, the New Opera Theater was opened, today one of three theaters operating on the territory of the garden (Hermitage, Sphere).

For the 850th anniversary of Moscow, the garden was transformed, many historical buildings were restored.

The diversity of today's life is fully embodied in the kaleidoscope of bright events taking place on the territory of the Hermitage Garden. The traditions of holding spring exhibitions and fairs “In the World of Flowers” ​​have been revived, festivals are held - jazz, ETNA, Latin American music, “Cup of Humor”, wine, beer and others. In 1997, the Tea Culture Club opened.

In 2004, the Hermitage Garden celebrated the 110th anniversary of its foundation. And although the garden is beautiful and simple in itself, every year writes a new page in its glorious history. It is nice here. This is the most Moscow vacation spot.
