general information
In Moscow, in addition to the metro station of the same name, there is both a district and a park. All of them are located in one district of the capital, and their names came from the small village of Fili (there are some versions concerning the river with the same name), on the site of which this huge picturesque green corner is located. In addition, the huge Filevsky park is located on the lands of the former villages of Mazilovo and Kuntsevo.
In this cozy green zone, there are many equipped tracks, paths and playgrounds that are convenient for walking, relaxing and practicing a wide variety of sports: dance floors, rope parks, bike paths, zorbing tracks, a stable, a mini-zoo, etc.
The metro station and Filevsky park (one of the largest metropolitan recreation areas) are located, as noted above, on the western outskirts of Moscow, which is a cozy place for many citizens.
A brief history of the area
In the mid-17th century, the forests surrounding the village of Fili were royal hunting grounds. At the end of the century, Great Peter transferred the village to the ownership of Naryshkin Lev Kirillovich (brother of the tsar’s mother). The land belonged to the Naryshkin family for more than 150 years, moreover, in the subsequent they also acquired the neighboring village of Kuntsevo, where their estate was founded. The year 1763 is notable for the fact that Catherine II, who favored him at that time, visited Filya L. Naryshkin.
Fili also entered history as a venue for a military council during the war of 1812. It was on it that the commander in chief of the army M. Kutuzov decided to surrender Moscow to the enemy. And there was a meeting in the hut of a simple peasant Frolov.
It should be noted that during the offensive, Napoleon’s soldiers desecrated the village temple and burned part of the village. The consequences of that fire were eliminated over time. This village is also significant in that by the end of the 19th century a large dyeing and printing enterprise of merchant Sergei Kuzmichev was located on its territory.
Fili was incorporated into Moscow in 1935, later, in 1947, the very magnificent culture and recreation park that is now known was laid here.
