Peredelkino

Peredelkino is a dacha village, situated just to the south-west of Moscow. The settlement originated as the estate of Peredeltsy, owned by the Leontyevs (maternal relatives of Peter the Great), then by Princes Dolgorukov and by the Samarins. After a railway passed through the village in the 19th century, it was renamed Peredelkino. In 1934 Maxim Gorky suggested to hand over the area to the Union of Soviet Writers. Within several years, about fifty wooden cottages were constructed in Peredelkino to Soviet writers by German designs.
