Nazarovas, human settlement in Odintsovsky District, Moscow Oblast, Russia
Nazarovas is a small estate in the rural Odintsovsky region with houses and farms scattered across the landscape. Narrow paths connect the simple dwellings and lead toward open fields and patches of woodland.
Nazarovas was first recorded in the early 1600s and later belonged to the Golicyn family, who built a stone house on the property. After the revolution, a large farm developed on the land, becoming central to the local economy for generations.
The name Nazarovas reflects its roots as a farming settlement where the Golicyn family shaped the land. Walking through today, you see traditional wooden houses with gardens where residents grow vegetables and maintain customs that blend into daily life.
Visiting requires a car or local bus, as the area sits away from major roads. Early mornings are ideal for exploring, when the air is fresh and you can walk through the paths or rest near the old farm buildings.
Archaeologists have found ancient burial mounds from the Vyatichi tribes near the estate, now covered with grass and marking a distant past. These kurgans show the area has been inhabited for thousands of years, carrying deep historical roots.
