Sviblovo District, Administrative district in North-Eastern Moscow, Russia
Sviblovo is an administrative district in northeastern Moscow with a mix of apartment blocks, older single-family homes, and maintained green spaces. The area blends multi-story residential buildings with quieter, greener zones that break up the urban landscape.
The district's name comes from a 17th-century boyar, Fedor Andreevich, who earned the nickname Svibl due to a speech peculiarity. Over time, the area grew from a rural estate of wealthy families into a modern urban neighborhood.
The district became a favored residence for well-to-do Moscow families who built homes surrounded by green areas. This historical settlement shaped the neighborhood's character and continues to influence how residents relate to their surroundings.
The Sviblovo Metro Station offers quick connections to central Moscow and is easy to access. Multiple bus lines cross through the district and allow straightforward movement in all directions.
The preserved Posebjovo estate still shows the grandeur of aristocratic country homes from earlier times. Its presence amid modern residential buildings tells the story of how the district transformed over the centuries.
