Novo-Ogarjowo
Novo-Ogarjowo ( Russian Ново-Огарёво ) is a property in Moscow Oblast not far from the Moscow district of Krylatskoje and the city of Krasnogorsk . In 2000 it became the official seat of Vladimir Putin , who was Russian President from 2000 to 2008, was Russian Prime Minister from 2008 to 2012 and has been President again since 2012.
The residence is located in a wooded area between Rubljowo-Uspenskoje-Chaussee (popularly: Rubljowka ) and the Moskva . A six meter high wall protects it from the outside. There are helipads, a riding stables, extensive sports facilities and greenhouses on the site. Nowo-Ogarjowo is about 30 kilometers west of the Kremlin .
history
The residence goes back to an estate that was built for the son of Tsar Alexander II, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich , in the 19th century in a neo-Gothic, Scottish-English style on the right bank of the Moscow River. In the early 1950s, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Georgi Malenkov , had the house redesigned according to his daughter's plans. When Malenkow was removed from office in 1955, renovation work was still going on. The property was then used to accommodate high-ranking state guests, for receptions and as a meeting place for various government committees, as well as a place of relaxation for high-ranking figures from state and party leadership.
On April 23, 1991, the President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev , signed a joint declaration on the continuation of the Soviet Union with the highest representatives of nine republics (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan) in Novo-Ogaryovo (9 + 1 agreement) . This provided for the signing of a union treaty and a union constitution. The signing of the new union treaty failed the day before due to the August coup in Moscow against Gorbachev.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the residence was intended for government purposes, but remained largely unused until Vladimir Putin declared it an official residence in 2000 and had it renovated. Since then, the nearby settlement of Ussovo has developed into the most expensive residential area in Moscow.
