history

The village of Malachovo was first mentioned in writing in the early 14th century under the Moscow Grand Duke Ivan Kalita . However, a reliable assignment of this place name to Malachowka is not possible today. More detailed documentation on the site was only available from the middle of the 19th century.

In 1865 the important railway connection from Moscow to Ryazan was opened, which passed the village, in 1884 a station called Malachowka was built on the route. Since then, the village has increasingly developed as a dacha settlement for wealthy Muscovites - in the 1910s it had around 3,000 inhabitants, and in the summer months even many times that. For those seeking relaxation, a summer theater was established in Malachowka at the beginning of the 20th century, and prominent artists such as Fyodor Chalyapin also participated in its performances .

After the First World War, an orphan settlement was set up in the village, especially for Jewish orphans, where Marc Chagall , Der Nister , David Hofstein , Leib Kvitko , Moshe Lifshits and others taught.

In the 1930s and in the post-war period, not only more dacha districts were built in Malachowka, but also a large number of public facilities and residential buildings based on urban models.
