Сквер Дивизий Московского Народного Ополчения

The Divisions of Moscow People's Militia Square extends along Second Peschanaya Street, featuring wide central and side alleys spanning 3.5 hectares of green space.

The square emerged in 1954 after the Khodynka River was redirected into an underground collector, transforming a former ravine into a public recreational area.

The central axis contains rows of chestnut trees leading to a prominent neoclassical fountain that appeared in numerous Soviet-era films and literary works.

The garden includes multiple benches, children's playgrounds, workout areas, and extensive walking paths under the shade of maple, ash, and apple trees.

The square received its current name in 2018 to honor four divisions of Moscow civilian volunteers who defended the city during World War II.
