Novo-Ogaryovo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novo-Ogaryovo (Russian: Ново-Огарёво) also Novo-Ogaryovo, is an estate in the Barvikha district of Moscow to the west of the city, by the Rublyovo-Uspenskoye Highway and an official residence of the president of Russia.
It is primarily recognized as the location of a suburban official residence of the President of Russia, officially recognized as such in 2000.[1]
The residence was constructed on the basis of a 19th century manor in the first hald 1950s by the order of Malenkov for his daughter[2] However the construction wasn't finished until Malenkov was removed from his position (1955), and this place was used as a state estate for housing of high guests, for receptions and as a place of work of various governmental committees. It has been often referred to as "Gosdachas", and the soviet leaders used to use the houses there for their vacations. Since 1991 it was reserved as a governmental residence, mostly unused until it was renovated by Putin in early 2000s. A six-meter-high wall is surrounding the presidential residence. Since then, luxury dachas started springing up nearby.
