Peredelkino is a Dacha village, situated just to the south-west of Moscow . The settlement originated as the estate of Peredeltsy, owned by the Leontyevs (maternal relatives of Peter The Great ), then by Princes Dolgorukov and by the Samarins . After a railway passed through the village in the 19th century, it was renamed Peredelkino. In 1934 Maxim Gorky suggested to hand over the area to the Union Of Soviet Writers . Within several years, about fifty wooden cottages were constructed in Peredelkino by Soviet writers to German designs. Among the litterateurs who settled in Peredelkino were Boris Pasternak , Korney Chukovsky , Arseny Tarkovsky (all three buried at the local cemetery), Ilya Ehrenburg , Veniamin Kaverin , Leonid Leonov , Ilya Ilf , Isaak Babel , Vsevolod Ivanov , Nikolay Zabolotsky , Boris Pilnyak , Lilya Brik , Konstantin Simonov , Alexander Fadeyev , and Mikhail Bakhtin . More recently, Yevgeny Yevtushenko , Andrei Voznesensky , Bella Akhmadulina , Robert Rozhdestvensky , and Zurab Tsereteli moved into the area as well. It is supposed that the village was satirized by Mikhail Bulgakov as Perelygino, a writers' colony described in his novel '' The Master And Margarita ''. The village also featured prominently in the John Le Carré Spy Novel '' The Russia House ''. In 1988 , the cottages of Chukovsky and Pasternak were proclaimed memorial houses, while the area of Peredelkino was designated a "historical and cultural reservation". A decade later, the dacha of Bulat Okudzhava was also opened to the public as a museum. After the collapse of the USSR , Peredelkino was taken over by the Russian new rich. Many new apartment buildings were constructed in Novo-Peredelkino district nearby. As Of 2005 , the most eminent resident of Peredelkino is Patriarch Alexis II , whose opulent summer residence adjoins a 17th-century church of the Saviour's Transfiguration. |
