Zamoskvorechye district. Merchants

Now these are ancient monuments that help to recreate the former landscape of Zamoskvorechye in the imagination of a contemporary. Gradually, the Zamoskvorechye was flooded with merchants and townspeople. They pushed back the indigenous population-archers and artisans. Kitai-gorod became a business center, not a place of residence for merchants. Merchants built across the Moscow River, and visited Kitay-gorod to bargain. Lermontov, in a "Song about Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, a young oprichnik and a dashing Kalashnikov fighter, described this connection between Kitay-gorod and Zamoskvorechye:


In the middle of the XIX century, the merchant Zamoskvorechye lived by the household skills, tastes and ideas of pre-Petrine Moscow. They wanted to live outside of time, shutting themselves away from modernity < in their close circle, which the great Russian educator and critic Dobrolyubov called the "dark kingdom". A typical merchant building that defined the physiognomy of these places was a two-story house. Downstairs, on the ground floor, the clerks and the grown-up sons of the owner mingled. Upstairs lived "himself" - the head of the house and trading company. Unlike noble houses, warehouses for goods were located in the courtyard. The house was often adjoined by a terrace overlooking an orchard with acacia and rowan bushes. In the garden, which was densely overgrown, there was a gazebo. The garden was surrounded by a wooden fence made of tightly nailed longitudinal boards. There is a gate in the fence that is locked. Everything here spoke of the owner's desire to isolate himself from the outside world, of his concern to protect capital - and shutters on windows, and watchdogs, and heavy bolts on the gates. Sometimes iron bars could be seen on the windows. There was a desire for quality in the interior decoration of these houses. There are paintings in heavy frames on the walls. Those who are richer have heavy drapes and drapes. There are geraniums on the windows, a cage with a canary, oatmeal or a siskin. Sturdy furniture, dark carpets on the floor, iron-sheathed chests with massive locks. In the corners there are ladybugs with burning lamps. The rooms were silent. In one of the alleys of Zamoskvorechye there is a two-storey wooden house marked with a memorial plaque. Ostrovsky was born here, a great playwright who captured the life of the merchant Zamoskvorechye in his plays. And although the dramatic form hindered the opportunity to reproduce, along with local life and customs, the landscape of this tract of old Moscow, nevertheless, it is vividly felt in Ostrovsky's images.


The years passed. The merchant class grew rich, grew into a noticeable social force, replacing the decrepit nobility. The appearance of their houses began to correspond to the changed appearance of the owners.
