Brateyevo District, Administrative district in Southern Moscow, Russia.
Brateyevo District lies on the right bank of the Moskva River in southeastern Moscow and covers approximately 7.6 square kilometers. The entire area is fully urbanized with residential buildings, streets, and city infrastructure.
The district contains ancient pagan burial mounds indicating early human settlements before the area transformed from a village into an urban district around 1960. This shift marked the transition from rural to modern urbanized territory.
The district takes its name from Semyon Godunov, brother of Tsar Boris Godunov, who owned these lands in the 16th century. This historical connection shapes how residents understand their neighborhood's past.
The district is served by two metro stations: Borisovo and Alma-Atinskaya, which opened in 2011 and 2012 respectively. These connections make it simple to reach other parts of Moscow.
The district sits at an elevation of approximately 117 meters above sea level and is densely populated with modern residential complexes. This high position creates a gentle rise from the river valley that shapes the area's landscape.
