At the beginning of the 18th century, the Moika River was a stagnant river flowing out of a swamp, on the site of which the Field of Mars is now located.

In 1711, the Moika River (the old name of Mya) was connected to the Fontanka (the old name of the Nameless Yerik). The name "Moika" comes from the ancient word - Mya (small river). In 1710, on the left bank of the Neva, the “Big Perspective Road” (now Nevsky Prospekt) was laid, and at the intersection of the road with the river, the natural border of St. Petersburg was formed. A wooden bridge was built on this site and at the beginning of the century travel taxes were collected here, for this, Mytny Dvor was built next to the bridge near Gostiny Dvor.

In the middle of the 18th century, the first wooden embankments of the Moika River were built and the bottom of the river was deepened. At the beginning of the 19th century, the embankments from the Fontanka to Angliysky Prospekt and the Kryukov Canal were dressed in granite. In 1960, a granite embankment was built near the Mikhailovsky Garden, in 1975 - an embankment from Maklin Avenue to the Pryazhka River.

Panorama of the Moika River

The banks of the Moika River at the beginning of the journey are very beautiful: on the right bank - the Summer Garden, on the left - the Mikhailovsky Castle and the Mikhailovsky Garden. In the place where the Moika connects with the Griboyedov Canal, a “three-knee bridge” was built: Malo-Konyushenny - across the Moika, Teatralny - across the Griboedov Canal and one pedestrian, bearing a decorative value.

Further, the Moyka flows along the former court Stable Department, the main facade of which faces the Konyushennaya Square. There are 15 bridges across the river. Many bridges are sights of the city: Narodny, Red, Blue, Kisses, Pochtamsky, Maly Konyushenny, Bolshoy Konyushenny, First Engineering, First Garden, Theatrical, Pevchesky and other bridges. The blue bridge on St. Isaac's Square is the widest in the city, its width is about 100m, immediately behind it is a granite pillar with the image of Neptune's trident. This pillar shows the levels of water rise during major floods in the history of the city.

On the left bank of the Moika River, at the corner of Glinka Street, there was once a tavern "Kiss" in the house of the merchant Potseluev. Not surprisingly, the nearby bridge is named after the Kisses. Behind the Kissing Bridge there is a small island formed by the Moika and the Krushtein and Kryukov canals, called "New Holland". Not far from the mouth of the Moika, the Pryazhka River (the old name of the Chukhonskaya River) flows out of it; earlier spinning workshops were located here.

Along the embankments of the Moika River there are a number of historical buildings: the Stegelman House (architect B.F. Rastrelli), the Stroganov Palace, the Razumovsky Palace, the Yusupov Palace, the Round Market, the Engineering Castle, the Singing Chapel, the building of the General Staff, the Voronin (Lantern) baths. A.S. Pushkin lived and died in house No. 12, since 1925 the All-Russian Museum of A.S. Pushkin has been located here.

That Moika is the first of the rivers crossing the avenue. The length of the river is 4.57 km, the depth reaches 3 m, and the width is 40 m.

Moika River - name

The ancient name of the river is Mya, which comes from the Finnish “muyu”, which translates as “mud”. According to one version, the name Moika was given to her for the reason that in those ancient times there were several public baths on its banks. The fame of her as a dirty river has survived to this day in ditties:

Once upon a time the boy is brisk
I swam right in the Moika.
The sink washes well -
All the tan was gone from him.

And the boys teased the children living here: "Moika Street, the garbage house, the third tank on the left." In perestroika times, poems were born:

I looked from the bridge at the Moika,
Immediately remembered perestroika,
Because in restructuring
Muti as much as in the Moika.

Sights on the embankment of the Moika River

Each house on the embankment will tell us about the history of the city, but its upper part is especially beautiful. This is one of the amazing places in St. Petersburg and a walk along the embankment will be interesting for guests of the Northern capital. There are historical buildings and quiet corners - Summer Garden, Field of Mars and Mikhailovsky Garden.

From the embankment near the Pevchesky bridge, in a special way, a view of the Palace Square, at the Kissing Bridge - on St. Isaac's Cathedral. Yes, and the bridges themselves are the sights of St. Petersburg. The land in this area has always been very expensive and only rich people could build houses here. The embankment is decorated with buildings that are historical monuments - Yusupovsky, Stroganov and Razumovsky palaces, mansions and former tenement houses.

Stroganov Palace in St. Petersburg

At the intersection of the embankment with Nevsky Prospekt on the left bank, the architect Rastrelli built a palace for Count Stroganov in 1752-1754. The mature baroque building is decorated with columns and medallions with a male profile. It is believed that the sculpture depicts Count Sergei Grigoryevich Stroganov, but there is an opinion that this is the profile of Francesco Rastrelli himself. At the end of the 18th century, the palace was reconstructed, in which the former serf Andrey Voronikhin took part. According to rumors, Andrei Voronikhin, the future architect of the Kazan Cathedral, was Stroganov's illegitimate son, as evidenced by their joint trips abroad, the promotion of Voronikhin's architectural orders and the patronage of the count. Sergei Stroganov was one of the richest people in Russia and held open dinners in the courtyard of his Palace. Any decently dressed Petersburger could freely enter the courtyard and dine. And now a cafe is open in this courtyard, at the tables of which you can see the guests of St. Petersburg.

Museum-apartment of A.S. Pushkin on the Moika Embankment

On the Moika embankment lived A.S. Pushkin and M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin, K.F. Ryleev and M.Yu. Lermontov. A.S. lived in house No. 12 for the last months of his life. Pushkin with his family and his wife's sisters Alexandra and Ekaterina Goncharov. From here, on January 27, 1837, he left for a duel with Dantes and was brought here mortally wounded, and on January 29 at 2:45 in this apartment A.S. Pushkin is dead. February 10, 2012 marks 175 years since the death of the great poet. A bronze monument to A.S. Pushkin, made by sculptor Nikolai Dadykin in 1950.

Bridges across the Moika River

In total, 15 bridges were thrown across the Moika. The very first bridge from the source is the 1st Inzhenerny, built on the site of the wooden Summer Bridge and connecting the Summer Garden and Spassky Island. It got its name from the nearby Mikhailovsky engineering castle. Nearby on the Fontanka embankment near the Panteleimonovsky bridge you can see a monument to Chizhik-Pyzhik, to whom tourists throw coins for luck.

Downstream is the Swan Canal, dug in 1711 and connecting the Neva with the Moika. The canal separates the Summer Garden and the Champ de Mars and is 648 meters long.

Triple bridge in St. Petersburg

At the beginning of the 19th century, many wooden bridges in St. Petersburg were rebuilt with stone and metal ones. The idea to create a triple bridge belongs to K. Rossi, and the architect E.A. Adam designed a new original three-arch bridge. The Malo-Konyushenny Bridge across the Moika, the Pervokonyushenny (Teatralny) Bridge across the Griboyedov Canal, and the Land Bridge-Dam, sometimes called the False Bridge, were connected in one support. The Triple or Treharkovy Bridge is a favorite place for visiting newlyweds, as well as the Bronze Horseman, Spit of Vasilyevsky Island and Kisses Bridge. Young people must walk along both sides of the bridge and look at their reflection in the water.

kissing bridge

The most famous and romantic of the bridges of the Northern capital is the Kisses Bridge, about which poems are composed and songs are sung. In appearance, it is not particularly remarkable, from the decorations - only lattices and lanterns. But couples in love strive here to kiss here. It is believed that a kiss on this bridge will make love strong and indestructible. And if a person leaves, then farewell on the bridge guarantees his return. There are many legends about the name of the bridge:

• In the 18th century, the border of the city passed along the line of the bridge, and therefore people here kissed and said goodbye
• Near the crossing was located the Guards naval crew and on the bridge the sailors said goodbye to their beloved
• There is a legend that lovers met on the bridge, who had to hide their feelings.
• There was a prison nearby and the arrested said goodbye to their relatives on this bridge
• The true reason for the name is the surname of the merchant Potseluev and his tavern "Kiss", located on the corner of Glinka Street, which is a continuation of the bridge

Colored bridges across the Moika

4 wooden bridges are named according to the color of the paint they are painted with and are popularly called colored. The Blue Bridge is a continuation of St. Isaac's Square and is the widest bridge in St. Petersburg. Its width is 97.3 meters and many tourists do not notice that they are already on the bridge, and not on the square. Here on the embankment in 1971 a stele was installed with anniversaries floods. The flood levels of 1824, 1924 and 1955, 1903 and 1967 are marked with bronze ribbons, and the trident of Neptune completes the obelisk.

The Red Bridge on Gorokhovaya Street, as well as the Blue Bridge, retained its name, and the Green Bridge, located at the intersection with Nevsky Prospekt, was renamed the Policeman in 1768, since the Police Department was located nearby. Since 1918, it began to be called Narodny, and in 1998, its name was returned to it - Green.

The Yellow Bridge near Palace Square is the fourth widest bridge after the Blue, Aptekarsky and Kazansky, its width is 72 m, and its length is 24 m, and it is famous for its openwork lattices. Later it was renamed Pevchesky, as it was located opposite the Singing Chapel - now the Academic Chapel of St. Petersburg.

Post Office Bridge

Among the bridges of St. Petersburg there are 3 unique pedestrian suspension bridges - Lviny and Bankovsky across the Griboyedov Canal and Pochtamtsky - across the Moika. And if the bridges across the Griboyedov Canal have structural elements hidden in statues of lions and griffins, then the chains of the Post Office Bridge are reinforced in pylons crowned with golden balls.

Winter groove in St. Petersburg

The winter canal connects the Moika with the Neva and is 228 m long and about 20 m wide. It was built in 1718-1720 and got its name from the nearby Winter Palace of Peter the Great. When in 1783-1787, under the leadership of Giacomo Quarnega, the Hermitage Theater was built on the site of the Palace, it was necessary to connect the new building with the Old Hermitage, for which an arch-gallery was built. Envious Quarnegie wanted to slander the architect and started a rumor about the fragility of the arch. To test the reliability of the arch, Catherine arranged a feast with many guests in the gallery. The master's calculations turned out to be correct - the arch passed the test.

The Moika River is included in most excursions on motor ships in St. Petersburg. Having made a walk or a boat trip, you will see many interesting and surprisingly beautiful places of the Northern capital.

For almost three centuries, the small river Muya, flowing out of the swamp, has turned into a beautiful waterway, on the banks of which palaces and museums are located. In the 19th century, buildings of banks and ministries, temples and luxurious mansions of the nobility were erected here.

the site recalls interesting pages of history associated with the Moika.

Muya-Mya-Moika

The first name of the river sounded like Muya, which meant "dirty". This is exactly what the builders of St. Petersburg saw as a narrow muddy stream flowing from a swampy swamp, on the site of which one of the most famous parks of the Northern capital, the Mikhailovsky Garden, is now located.

Now the river originates from the Fontanka. Changes occurred during the arrangement of the summer residence of Emperor Peter I - the Summer Garden, which began in 1704. Then the workers dug a section from the mouth of the Mui to the Nameless Erik (that was how the Fontanka was called at that time).

It should be noted that hydrotechnical work on this site continued for several years. Their result was the appearance of the Red Canal and the Swan Canal, as well as the drainage of the previously swampy territory. As Andrey Bogdanov, the author of the first detailed known description of St.

In documents dating from later than 1719, another name for the water body already appeared - Mya, which was transformed in 1726 into Moika. There are several versions of the origins of this word. Bogdanov suggested that "this river was named Moika from its former impurity ...". However, most historians are inclined to believe that it is associated with the verb "wash". This version is supported by the fact that several public baths were built on the embankments, the visitors of which could sometimes take a dip in the river.

Third grade water

The quality of water in the Moika River in those years was significantly inferior to the Neva. This affected the tariffs of water carriers who transported the "goods" around the city in barrels. The water from the Neva had the highest price, the water scooped from the Fontanka was a little cheaper, and only then came the water from the Moika and the Catherine Canal.

In 1843, local historian Ivan Pushkarev wrote: "The water in the Moika is cloudy, unpleasant for taste and sometimes even emits a bad smell...". The representatives of the newspaper fraternity sounded the alarm. One of the publications of those years said that "if earlier the water in the Moika was similar in purity and taste to the Neva, then a century later it again turned into a channel with dirty, muddy and foul-smelling water."

To avoid mass poisoning of the townspeople, an order even came into force prohibiting water carriers from taking water from the Moika for drinking and cooking.

Palaces on the banks

For several centuries, the Moika embankment was considered, as they say now, a zone of elite development. Today, following on a river boat along its waters, you can see many sights of St. Petersburg.

So next to the Anichkov Bridge at 46 Moika Embankment is one of the examples of Russian baroque - the Stroganov Palace. Its construction began in 1753-1754 according to the design of the architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. It is believed that earlier on this site there was a modest two-story house built according to the project of Mikhail Zemtsov, the one-story house of the Stroganovs, which previously stood on the embankment a little to the south.

On the Moika, 48, according to the project of Wallen - Delamotte and Alexander Kokorinov, the palace of Count Razumovsky, who held the post of president for half a century, was built Russian Academy Sciences. Later, the building was given to the St. Petersburg Orphanage, and in 1837 - to the Nikolaev Orphan's Institute. It currently houses the Russian State Pedagogical University named after A. I. Herzen.

On the Moika embankment, 94 is the famous Yusupov Palace. On the first maps of St. Petersburg, this place was the wooden palace of the niece of Peter I - Princess Praskovya Ivanovna. Later, during the time of Elizabeth, the estate was acquired by Field Marshal Pyotr Shuvalov, the father of the writer Andrei Shuvalov, under whom the construction of a modern building designed by Jean - Baptiste Vallin - Delamotte began.

During the reign of Catherine II, the estate passed into the treasury, and later was donated by the generous Empress to her friend Alexandra Branitskaya, the niece of her favorite, Grigory Potemkin.

Only in 1830 Boris Yusupov bought the palace from the elderly mistress. It was with his surname that the fate of the house was connected in the following decades: five generations of the Yusupov princes owned the building until 1917.

Also, the palace of Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna (now the Institute named after P.F. Lesgaft), the palace of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich, many tenement houses and mansions of famous people have addresses on the Moika.

Pushkin places

The name of Alexander Pushkin is also associated with the embankment of the Moika River. "At the Konyushenny Bridge" in the house of Princess Sofya Volkonskaya, the Decembrist's sister, the poet's family rented an apartment in September 1836. They were not destined to live here for long. In January 1837, the poet was mortally wounded in a duel with Dantes.

According to legend, just before the duel, Pushkin stopped by Wolf and Beranger's confectionery, which was located in those years in the house of the merchant Kotomin at the corner of Nevsky and Moika 57.

After the death of the poet, the apartment on the first floor of the house was empty. In February 1837, the widow of Alexander Sergeevich left St. Petersburg with their children.

Now the building on Moika 12 houses the Pushkin Memorial Apartment Museum, which recreates the atmosphere of the last months of the poet's life.

Moika River

The Moika River flows from the Fontanka to the Neva.

The origin of the name has been variously explained. There have been attempts to associate this name with public baths built on the banks of the river. The 18th-century historian Andrei Bogdanov wrote: “This river was named Moika from its former impurity; because she was deaf, she didn’t have a through channel, she was all muddy, and the water was muddy, they didn’t wash any white clothes in it, except what a vile dress. Just to say, her name comes from this folk proverb: “Wash yourself white” (that is, “get dirty”) ... "

Indeed, until 1711, when the Moika was connected to the Bezymyanny Erik, the future Fontanka, it flowed out of the swamp, and the name, meaning "dirty", arose even before the founding of St. Petersburg. This is the Izhorian Muya, turned into Mew. The name Mya, in parallel with the usual Moika, is found right up to the beginning of the reign of Paul the First, until 1797.

In the 18th century, the Myu-Moika was cleaned, the shores were sheathed with boards, and then dressed in granite. But the name keeps the memory of the fact that it was a dirty, swampy river. However, even now the saying given by the historian Bogdanov is very suitable. To say “wash yourself white” in the Moika will mean the same thing as two and a half centuries ago: get dirty.

15 bridges were thrown across the Moika.

1st Engineering Bridge located on the embankment of the Fontanka River. Initially, since 1828, it was the Summer Bridge, along the Summer Garden. Sometimes the bridge was called New Chugunny. In 1891, the name Inzhenerny appeared, after the Inzhenerny (Mikhailovsky) castle. Since at that time there was another Inzhenerny Bridge - across the Voskresensky Canal, which was filled up in 1869, already from the mid-1890s they received numbers - the 1st and 2nd Inzhenerny Bridges.

1st Sadovy Bridge located in the alignment of Sadovaya Street and the Lebyazhy Canal Embankment. Since 1820, it was called Mikhailovsky after the Mikhailovsky (Engineering) Castle (see. Castle street). On October 6, 1923, it was renamed Sadovy along Sadovaya Street, which, interestingly, was Third July Street at that time. Unofficially, the bridge was called Sadovyi since 1836.

Since 1957 it has been the 1st Sadovy Bridge, since in the same year it appeared 2nd Sadovy Bridge, near the western edge of the Champ de Mars. Since 1737, it has been the Red Bridge - this name was officially given on April 20, 1738. In this place, the Red Canal came out to the Moika, which was filled up in 1765. In addition, the bridge itself was painted red. On the city plan of 1798, the bridge is designated as Tsaritsynsky along the Tsaritsynskaya street that overlooked it, which is now part of the Field of Mars. Later, the bridge was dismantled and rebuilt only in 1957, when the modern name was established.

Malo-Konyushenny Bridge located in the alignment of the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal. From 1798 to 1828 the bridge was called Tsaritsynsky after the Tsaritsyn meadow, the current Field of Mars. Parallel to early XIX century, there was a name Sadovy Bridge after the nearby Mikhailovsky Garden. In 1829, the name Theater Bridge appeared, which was used until 1873. It was associated with the unpreserved wooden theater, which was located on the Tsaritsyn Meadow. The current name of the bridge was given in 1851. It is interesting that the Theater Bridge did not disappear either, it simply changed its name with the former Maly Konyushenny - across the Ekaterininsky Canal (now the Griboyedov Canal). These two bridges form a single three-span structure (one span is blind), so it is not surprising that it was not immediately decided which of them was called. The modern Malo-Konyushenny Bridge is also sometimes referred to as the Small Konyushenny Bridge.

Big Konyushenny Bridge connects Konyushenny and Moshkov lanes. On April 20, 1738, he was given the name Konyushenny by the Imperial stable court of Catherine I (see. Konyushennaya Square). In 1790–1792, the name Moshkov Bridge along Moshkov Lane was used, and in 1821, in connection with the appearance of the Maly Konyushenny Bridge (still across the Ekaterininsky Canal), this bridge began to be called the Bolshoy Konyushenny, although until the 1880s the old name was also used - Horse Bridge.

Name Pevchesky bridge near the Palace Square was given in 1844 according to the court singing corps located opposite it - the Chapel. The building was built in 1777 by Yuri Felten and rebuilt in 1810 according to the design of Luigi Rusca; subsequently expanded several times.

Name green bridge along Nevsky Prospekt arose in the 1730s and was associated with the painting of the bridge, and was officially fixed on April 20, 1738. In parallel, in 1768, the name Police Bridge appeared, after the police department located nearby (the modern address is Moika, 59); St. Petersburg police chief Nikolai Ivanovich Chicherin lived in the same house on the corner of Nevsky and Moika (for more details, see fig. Bolshaya Konyushennaya street). Already in 1746, the "Green Bridge near the police" was found in the St. Petersburg Vedomosti. From 1785 to 1801, a mixed name was also used: Police Lift Green Bridge. After 1820, the name Green disappears, and for almost a hundred years the bridge was exclusively Police. In October 1918, the Police Bridge was renamed Narodny to contrast with the previous name. On January 13, 1998, the bridge was returned to its first name - Green, in order to put it on a par with other bridges that retained their "color name" - Red and Blue.

red bridge located on Gorokhovaya street. On April 20, 1738, it was given the name White Bridge after the color in which it was planned to be painted. In the "Register of the Admiralty Island to the streets" it was stated: "Against which the ranks in those bridges would be built to paint." However, the name remained only in the resolution. In fact, the bridge became Red. This name has been known since 1778. From the second half of the 18th century, this bridge began to be painted red, and not the one that was originally painted (on the site of the current 1st Garden Bridge).

Name blue bridge on St. Isaac's Square has been known since 1728, but was officially assigned on April 20, 1738. It is also given by the color of the bridge. This is the widest bridge in St. Petersburg - its width is 99 meters 80 centimeters.

Lantern Bridge was named in 1906 after Lantern Lane, in the alignment of which it is located. It was originally the Pedestrian Lantern Bridge, but the designation "pedestrian" fell out in the 1920s, although it remained a pedestrian bridge until 1973.

Post Office Bridge located in the alignment of Prachechny Lane. Its first name is the Chain Pedestrian Bridge. It has been in use since 1829. Subsequently, the names Chain Bridge and Pedestrian Chain Bridge came into use. All these names were explained by the presence of chain ornaments. Another name was associated with the material from which the crossing was made - the Pig-iron pedestrian bridge. In the middle of the 19th century, the name Pracheshny Bridge appeared along the lane, in the alignment of which the bridge is located. In parallel with the Laundry in 1846, the modern name appeared - Post Office, along the nearby Pochtamtsky Lane leading to the Post Office. This name eventually supplanted all others.

kissing bridge located in the alignment of Glinka street. By decree of April 20, 1738, he was named Tsvetnoy. This can be explained by the fact that, unlike other “colored” bridges named by the same decree, the color of this bridge was not determined. But the name of the Colored Bridge remained only on paper. The first really existing name - in the form of Potsaluev Most common in the 18th-19th centuries - appeared in 1788 by the name of the merchant of the 3rd guild Nikifor Vasilyevich Potseluev, the owner of the nearby drinking house "Kiss". In 1790, the modern spelling also emerged. An interesting variant was recorded in the "St. Petersburg Vedomosti" in 1797: Kiss the bridge. The name of the bridge is associated with legends that it was customary to kiss here before a long separation. These were farewells to the sailors of the Naval crew stationed in the Kryukov barracks; with prisoners who were sent to the Lithuanian castle, located nearby.

Krasnoflotsky bridge located on the embankment of the Kryukov Canal. In "All Petersburg" for 1915, the name Pontoon Bridge was recorded. Then for a long time the bridge had no name. The modern name appeared after the reconstruction of the bridge in 1960. It is connected with the fact that nearby, in the "New Holland", there were units of the Leningrad naval base. This is one of the three bridges on the western side of the Kryukov Canal that have etymologically similar names. The Krasnogvardeisky bridge was thrown across the Griboyedov Canal, and the Krasnoarmeysky bridge across the Fontanka.

Khrapovitsky bridge located in the alignment of Pisareva street and the embankment of the Novo-Admiralteisky Canal. A bridge has existed on this site since the 1730s. It received its first name - Yellow - on April 20, 1738: it was supposed to paint the crossing in this color. The name lasted until 1793, although already in 1753 a parallel one appeared - the Galley Bridge, along the Galley Shipyard, located behind the bridge. The galley shipyard was then called the Admiralty Plant. It is noteworthy that from 1785 to 1793 the Galley Bridge was not the only parallel name to the official Yellow. During this period, the bridge had three names. The name Khrapovitsky has also been added. Nearby was the estate of Prince Alexander Vasilyevich Khrapovitsky, whose name was transferred to the bridge, eventually displacing the two previous names. True, on the plan of 1798, the bridge is designated as Sinyavin by the name of the house owner, Vice Admiral S. N. Sinyavin, but later only the name Khrapovitsky Bridge began to be used.

Alexander Vasilyevich Khrapovitsky was once a writer. Until Prince Alexander Andreevich Vyazemsky, the Prosecutor General of the Governing Senate, who enjoyed the special confidence of Empress Ekaterina Alekseevna, appointed a namesake who spoke the language well to work in the Senate. According to Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin, Khrapovitsky "introduced an easy and pleasant style into clerical affairs." Khrapovitsky's abilities could not help but go unnoticed by Catherine II, who appointed him to the secretary of state. Khrapovitsky served in this position for 11 years.

The last bridge across the Moika, located on the territory of the Admiralty Plant, was named on July 4, 1977 ship along the Korabelnaya embankment that previously existed in this area. It ran along the banks of the Neva from the Moika almost to the Fontanka branch and subsequently entered the territory of the plant.
