The mobile application “Discover Moscow” has appeared 3D panoramas of Vorobyovy Gory. Users will see how this area changed over several historical eras, learn what the Vorobyovsky Palace of the Russian tsars of the 18th century looked like, where the restaurant of the enterprising peasant Stepan Krynkin, popular in the city at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, was located, and how the main building of the Moscow State University (MSU) named after M.V. Lomonosov was erected in the mid-20th century. All this will help to imagine the various stages of the territory’s development.
“The 3D panoramas of Vorobyovy Gory allow you to imagine how this favorite vacation spot for Muscovites and visitors to the capital looked in different eras. For example, one of the panoramas recreates the construction process of the main building of Moscow State University – users can literally witness a historical moment. To enhance the immersion effect, specialists have worked out in detail not only architectural objects, but also elements of nature: birds in flight, grass swaying in the wind. You can see all this both on site and from home, but the most vivid impressions await those who go to the observation deck of Vorobyovy Gory – breathtaking views open up here and you can feel the connection of times,” the press service said.

Sparrow Hills: from the Middle Ages to the present day
The picturesque Vorobyovy Gory with its panoramic views of Moscow has attracted Russian rulers for centuries. The village of Vorobyevo was mentioned in the 15th century, and in the 16th century, Prince Vasily III built a wooden palace here. Ivan the Terrible took refuge within its walls during the uprising of 1547, and later Boris Godunov and Mikhail Romanov used the residence. In 1684, Princess Sophia ordered a new palace to be built in the Moscow Baroque style.
It was here that young Peter I became interested in artillery, which largely determined his future interests. After the capital was moved to St. Petersburg, the palace gradually fell into disrepair, and after a fire in 1812, it finally disappeared. Its foundation was discovered in 1901 during the installation of a water pipe. Today, only archival documents and old engravings remind us of the building. But you can see it in the first 3D panorama – just click the button “Vorobyevsky Palace. 18th century”.
The second 3D panorama will introduce you to a virtual image of another Vorobyovy Gory structure — the Krynkin restaurant of the 19th–20th centuries. It was opened in 1891 by Stepan Krynkin, a native of the village of Vorobyevo. By 1904, the establishment had become a real entertainment center: gypsy choirs were heard here, illusionists performed, reindeer sleigh rides were offered in the winter, roller coasters were offered in the summer, and fireworks were displayed on New Year’s Eve. Krynkin thought through every detail: a narrow-gauge railway with a small locomotive known as the “cuckoo” was even laid for guests, and a boat service was organized. During the revolution, a reading room was built instead of the restaurant, but the building soon burned down, leaving behind only memories and quotes in classical literature.
The third 3D panorama in the Discover Moscow app visualizes the construction of the legendary Stalinist skyscraper — the main building of Lomonosov Moscow State University. Construction began in 1947. The project was developed by leading architects, including Boris Iofan and Lev Rudnev, and the sculptural design was entrusted to Vera Mukhina’s studio. Construction proceeded at a record pace: by 1949, the frame had already reached 10 floors. Chief engineer Nikolai Nikitin created a unique 15-meter-deep floating foundation and special columns that prevented the building from subsiding in unstable soils. From its construction in 1953 until 1990, the building remained the tallest in Europe. Learn more about the history of the university and the key figures associated with its creation, development, and transformation. Thematic quiz, dedicated to the 270th anniversary of the legendary university. The new stele on Vorobyovy Gory is also part of a special project prepared by the portal “Learn Moscow” and Lomonosov Moscow State University and dedicated to the university’s anniversary.
Today, Vorobyovy Gory is a unique historical area and a nature reserve in the very center of the capital, as well as one of the four territories of Gorky Park. More than 150 species of animals and birds, as well as about 400 species of plants, including those listed in the Red Book of Moscow, are found here. There are two ecological trails on the territory, each over one and a half kilometers long. This is one of the most picturesque places in the center of the capital, which is perfect for sports and leisurely walks in the forest.
