Rublyovka
Rublyovka (Russian Рублёвка ) in Russia is widespread, unofficial designation of the county of around the arterial road Rubljowo - Uspenskoe -Chaussee ( Рублёво - Успенское шоссе ) immediately west of the city limits of Moscow. Characteristic of this area is the large number of representative villas and extremely high land prices.
Description
The arterial road Rubljowo - Uspenskoe Shosse in Moscow begins immediately outside the city limits and the MKAD ring road in Krylatskoje district and leads about 20 km to the settlement Uspenskoe, from where it continues on from a smaller road to Zvenigorod. The road was built in 1903, in 1912 it was expanded to include a bridge over the river Zeitun.
The history of Rublyovka as Nobel suburb began approximately in the 1930s, as near her Moscow part, the Rubljowskoje - road, in the former suburb Kunzewo, the dacha (summer house ) Josef Stalin was born, where he died in 1953. At the same time the west of the city limits were new dachas for high-ranking party officials and sanatoria for the political elite. That the Rubljowo - Uspenskoe -Chaussee was this just been selected, was mainly due to the scenic attractiveness and ecologically favorable location of this area: The location south of the Moskva shore, surrounded by coniferous forests, and the lack of any industrial equipment around on at the same time easy access the Moscow Center made the Rublyovka to an exquisite resort.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the land privatization, it was possible for anyone to acquire a piece of land and on the Rublyovka. Since this was unabated as an elite suburb, the demand for Rublyovka - land early and mid- 90s on rapidly, because anyone who could afford it financially, who preferred " close to the elite" to live. In the coming years, land prices rose continuously here. Today 's hardly a plot at the Rublyovka for less than the equivalent of 1,000 euros per square meter to have. The built villas on them do not achieve rare prices of ten million and more. In general, there are the villas not directly on the road, but in specially built colonies that are hermetically sealed off from the outside world and into which is no non- residents without a special permit. Since here also numerous high-ranking politicians live - so among other things, Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Novo- Ogaryovo estate - even the road itself is heavily guarded by the police. Only a few old wooden houses, especially old dachas are still left along the road.
Places
The term Rublyovka is often mistaken for a place name, but is only an informal term that is so can be found on any map. Rather Rublyovka is all that is on the Rubljowo - Uspenskoe - road and in closer vicinity. This also includes the settlements Rubljowo, Ussowo, Barvikha, Nikolina Gora, Rosdory and Uspenskoe.
Railway
A holdover from the days when the Rublyovka was not as elitist as it is today, is a railway branch line that branches off from the main line Moscow - Smolensk -Minsk in Kunzewo and as far as Ussowo with four intermediate stations Romaschkowo, Rasdory, Barvikha and Ilyinskoye leads. To date, one arrives as a elektrichka, so a suburban railway, the Belarus station to directly approach the Rubljowo - Uspenskoe -Chaussee. However, expect railway enthusiasts in Russia with a closure of these branch line in the foreseeable future, as the railway line is only used by the few long-time residents of Rublyovka. Today the route is operated daily even of a little over ten pairs of trains.
