It wasn&#8217;t lazy actually, it couldn&#8217;t be so, as it was always noisy and busy area. The market there was called lazy just because it was the first Leroi Merlin, a shop of ready-made parts of houses! People doing shopping there were lazy to make these parts themselves and preferred to buy them!<\/li>\n<li>We have the so-called Ray-looking <a href=\"https:\/\/friendlylocalguides.com\/blog\/things-to-do-moscow-streets\">streets in Moscow<\/a>. This is\u00a0because all the major streets initially started from the <a href=\"https:\/\/friendlylocalguides.com\/blog\/red-square-the-kremlin\">Kremlin towers<\/a>, running outside the Kremlin wall as rays of the sun. The streets in St Petersburg are laid out in an absolutely different way, by the way.<\/li>\n<li>The side of the <strong>Kremlin wall<\/strong> which is closer to the Beyond-the-Moskva-river district or Zamoskvorechie, has the biggest number of towers (7). It was best protected from Tatar-Mongol Yoke &#8211; Orda (the street in Zamoskvorechie is called Ordynka not accidentally, as well), which always attacked the Kremlin from that side.<\/li>\n<li>The House on the Embankment, one of <strong>Stalin\u2019s Seven Sisters,<\/strong> a huge complex of facades, was an experimental &#8220;city in the city&#8221;. It had everything people needed &#8211; a laundry, a kindergarten, a supermarket, a club and whatnot. But it&#8217;s sadly known for the tragic destinies of its residents, who were all prominent people and most of them died in Gulag or got executed by the government.<\/li>\n<li>Nowadays prestigious <strong>Zamoskvorechye<\/strong> was not the best place to settle down in ancient times. It was a swampy area, regularly flooded until the canal was constructed. No one would live there, so the Tsar gave an order to his personal guards to settle down there with their families, for what they got tax privileges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pashkov House<\/strong>, which is a part of the State Library nowadays, used to belong to Graf Rumyantsev which was a passionate collector of manuscripts. This is what the Lenin Library started from.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Big Stone Bridge<\/strong> behind the Kremlin was the first permanent bridge in Moscow. Before The Big Stone Bridge all the bridges in Moscow were more like rafts and were called &#8220;live bridges&#8221; that could be moved anywhere anytime.<\/li>\n<li>The huge steamed tubes that you can see while walking along the <strong>Kremlin embankment<\/strong> are the first gas electricity station in Moscow. The station is still working and supplies the Kremlin.

This building was a popular place among many Russian celebrities, such as the founders of Moscow Art Theatre Nemirocivh-Danchenko and Stanislavsky.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prechistenskaya embankment<\/strong>, 31 nowadays is occupied by the Swiss Consulate. This station used to be a hydraulic station and pump water from the Moskva river to supply Sandunovsky baths. The cleaning process was impressive, it had around 20 steps of cleaning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Church of Elijah the Prophet<\/strong> in Obydensky lane never stopped operating, even during the Soviet times. The legend has it that the church was supposed to be closed on the 22nd of June, 1941.
