History

Source:[4]

There are 10 groups of burial mounds of Vyatichi and one of the medieval Slavic tribes, dated 12 - 13th century.[5]

There are many version of origin of the name Chertanovo. According to Vladimir Toporov, the name of Chertanovo village derives from name Chertanovka river and its name derives from medieval Finno-Ugric languages.

Chertanovo village was located on the territory of modern Northern Chertanovo district near Chertanovo railway platform.

Chertanovo village was mentioned for the first time in 1665 in the book by S.A. Belokurov "Daily notes of Prikaz of Secret Affairs" (Moscow, 1908): "On December 28, on Saturday, the great sovereign desired to go to Cheratnovo in an hour before dawn" (Russian: "декабря в 28 день в субботу великий государь изволил итить в Чертаново за час до света"). However, it was not mentioned in census books in 1646. Therefore, Chertanovo village may have been built between 1646 and 1665.

Additionally, 8 other villages were situated on today's Chertanovo territory:

  • Krasnoe sel`tso (сельцо Красное; Red village; sel`tso is a historical type of inhabited localities in Russia)
  • Krasny Mayak sovkhoz (совхоз Красный Маяк; Red lighthouse state farm)
  • Biryulyovo sel`tso (сельцо Бирюлёво)
  • Pokrovskoye selo or Pokrovskoye-Gorodnya selo (село Покровское or село Покровское-Городня; Intercession village; "Pokrov" means Intercession of the Theotokos i.e. Protection of the Virgin; selo meant a village with a Church)
  • Pokrovskiye Vyselki village (деревня Покровские Выселки; vyselki is a type of inhabited localities meaning "village of evicted people"; that is, a new village found by people who resettled)
  • Krasny Stroitel` (Red Builder) workmen's settlement or Gazoprovod (Gas pipeline) workmen's settlement (рабочий посёлок Красный строитель or рабочий посёлок Газопровод)
  • Mosstroyput` settlement (посёлок Мосстройпуть; meaning Moscow communications development), formerly known as settlement of Communications Department (посёлок МПС, Министерства Путей Сообщения)
  • Annino village (деревня Аннино; "Ann`s village")

In the late 1970s, building of Exemplary Perspective Housing Area began in Northern Chertanovo (engineers: L. Dubek, architects M. Posokhin, A. Shapiro, L. Misozhnikov, A. Kegler, Yu. Ivanov, B.
