Kropotkinskaya station resembles the sun with its rays which can lead you to beautiful and exciting places of interest. Directly in front of it is the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. If we go to the left we'll see the famous Pushkin museum... and if we walk behind the station we'll find ourselves in Gogolevsky Boulevard.
Gogolevsky Boulevard is one of the tenth Boulevards of Moscow which form the famous Garden Ring (Sadovoe Koltso), or Boulevard Ring.
Gogolevsky Boulevard is one of the most beautiful historical places of Moscow. The Boulevard was opened in 1909, but had another name "Prechistinskiy". The name originated from the word "Chistiy" meaning "clean". But in 1924 it was renamed into Gogolevskiy in honour of the famous Russian writer Nikolay Gogol. At the end of the Boulevard there is a grand monument in his honour.
Another monument is devoted to another Russian writer , Mikhail Sholokhov, and his novel "Tihiy Don" (Still Don).
The Boulevard has a so called three-level structure as once there used to be a river with the banks of different level. That is why the eminence of the boulevard varies.
The architecture of this place is worth seeing. It presents buildings which survived the Great Fire of 1812. More to it, different merchants and famous people like Pushkin or Turgenev of the 19th century.
Nowadays you can be lucky to find there exhibited photos. Sometimes even artists exhibit and sell their works of art there. You can buy anything you like, or just enjoy.
It's especially good there in summer. When it's warm and you can enjoy a beautiful day and trees around you sitting on a bench...with an ice-cream... )
