Грайвороново, Residential district in southeastern Moscow, Russia.
Graivoronovo is a residential district in southeastern Moscow that stretches along Graivoronovskaya Street with apartment blocks and industrial zones alongside it. The area sits near Novoproletarskaya station and mixes different land uses throughout its layout.
The area started as a village belonging to Simonov Monastery in 1543. It became part of Moscow in 1935 and later developed into a modern residential area.
The name comes from either a 16th-century family surname or a southern Russian dialect word for rook. This naming history connects the place to its rural past and shapes how residents identify the area today.
Two metro stations serve the area: Tekstilshchiki about 800 meters to the southeast and Stakhanovskaya to the northeast, with several bus lines running through. Getting around is easy thanks to good public transport connections.
The district contains two numbered residential quarters sitting alongside Industrial Zone 56, which is gradually changing into residential development. This shift shows how Moscow's outskirts are transforming over time.
