Where did the name of the river Gorodnya come from? Enclosed in a sewer: The history of the Gorodnya River. Examples of the use of the word gorodnya in literature
It originates in the east of the South-Western Autonomous District and flows through the south of Moscow. Second longest after Setuni right tributary of the Moscow River in the south of the city. Its length is 16 km, including 14 km in the open channel. (of which 4.8 km are under water bodies). The basin area is about 100 km2. Average water consumption is 0.76 m 3 /s. It originates from the Teplostanskaya Upland, within the Bitsevsky forest, at the exit from which it flows in an underground collector along Kirovogradsky Proezd, where there are floodplain ponds; crosses the Warsaw Highway, Paveletskoye and Kursk directions of the Moscow Railway, then flows through Verkhnetsaritsynsky, Nizhnetsaritsynsky And Borisovsky ponds, at the exit from which it flows in an open channel and flows into the Moscow River at the Besedinsky Bridge. A collector was laid along the ponds to drain polluted water into a settling pond located at the mouth of Gorodnya. Tributaries: right - Ulcer And Shmelevka , Boyakov , Popov , Teplyakovsky And Senkovsky ravines; left - Kotlyakovka , Belyaeva ravine And Chertanovka. The valley is deeply incised along almost its entire length, picturesque, but greatly changed and retains its natural appearance only within the Bitsevsky forest; in 1991, five of its sections were declared a natural monument. In 1971, the Gorodyansky Bridge was built. In the wellhead area, the content of petroleum products and iron salts exceeds the maximum permissible concentration. Gorodnya does not have any fishing or recreational significance, but it gives originality to the architectural and landscape appearance of the city. On the banks were the villages of Biryulyovo, Pokrovskoye (Pokrovskoye-Gorodnya), Tsaritsyno, Khokhlovka, Shipilovka, Borisovo, Brateevo. Gorodyanka street is named after Gorodyanka.
Obviously, Gorodnya got its name from the name of the village of Pokrovskoye-Gorodnya, where Gorodnya is a common name for settlements (cf. city, town, etc.). A variant of the hydronym Gorodyanka is a derivative of Gorodnya, after which the street is named. Gorodyanka. E.M. Pospelov (1999) offers a hydronymic explanation of the name of the Gorodnya river: from the word gorodnya “fence, fence in the river”, etc., also pointing out the possibility of comparison with the Baltic hydronyms (lit. Gardena, Latvian Gardienes and etc., according to the interpretation of V.N. Toporov): " The name comes from the word gorodnya- “fence, fence in the river”; “slaughter, interruption, fish stopper with a gate into which a purse is inserted, or a blind one; a simple fence for a fish den” (see Dal V.I. Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language)".
From the State Report "On the state of the natural environment of the city of Moscow in 2002", section "Assessment of the hydrochemical regime of water bodies in the city":
Gorodnya River, mouth. In 2002, there was a decrease in the concentration of suspended substances from 11.9 mg/l to 10.52 mg/l, ammonia nitrogen from 1.7 MPC to 1.5 MPC, nitrite nitrogen from 8.5 MPC to 1.99 MPC. The content of organic substances remains at the level of last year according to BOD 5 - 1.4 MPC, petroleum products - 4.12 MPC, iron ions - 8.1 MPC. Chlorides, sulfates, dry residue, and nitrate nitrogen remained within the MPC. The concentration of manganese ions increases from 13 MPC to 20.75 MPC, nickel from trace amounts to 8.06 MPC, zinc from 4.8 to 6.03 MPC. At the same time, there is a decrease in copper ions from 14.8 to 7.83 MPC. Chromium, cobalt, and cadmium remain within the MPC.

The Moscow government has approved a working project for clearing the Gorodnya River bed.
It is planned to clear the Gorodnya riverbed from Sevastopolsky Avenue to Krasny Mayak Street, from Podolskiy Cadets Street to the Gorodnya-1 settling pond, as well as from Natashkinskaya Street, Building 4, to the Gorodnya-2 settling pond.
The water area and bottom of the Gorodnya River will be cleared of household waste, woody debris, bottom sediments, contaminated silt deposits, replacing them with clean river sand, sanitary felling and removal of dead trees and shrubs in the coastal strip and restoration of grass and vegetation cover in the coastal strip after carrying out work.
Moscow authorities will allocate about 190 million rubles to clean up the Gorodnya River.
Gorodnya River (Gorodyanka, Gorodnyanka, Gorodenka, Gorodenka) The Gorodnya River in Moscow, the second in length and water flow after Setun, is the right tributary of the Moscow River within the city. Starts at the intersection of Solovyino proezd and st. Rokotova (according to other sources, near the Novoyasenevskaya metro station), crosses the Bitsevsky forest park, then flows through an underground pipe to the Pokrovskaya station in the Kursk direction. Further in the open channel it flows in the northern part of the Chertanovo Yuzhnoye region. On the territory of the Tsaritsyno district, it is mostly dammed, forming the Tsaritsyn and Borisov ponds, crosses Brateevo and flows into the Moscow River at the Besedinsky Bridge of the Moscow Ring Road. The length is 16 kilometers, of which 13.5 kilometers Gorodnya flows in an open channel (including ponds). In the lower reaches the river is heavily polluted. Tributaries: on the right are Yazvenka and Shmelevka, Boyakov, Popov, Teplyakovsky and Senkovsky ravines; on the left are Kotlyakovka, Belyaeva ravine and Chertanovka. The valley is deeply incised along almost its entire length, picturesque, but greatly changed and retains its natural appearance only within the Bitsevsky forest; in 1991, five of its sections were declared a natural monument.

This river is the second in terms of water flow and length in Moscow after Setun. This is a right tributary of the Moscow River, located within the city. Some parts of the valley of this reservoir are a favorite vacation spot for many Muscovites.
The name of the river is Gorodnya. Where is it located and what is it? You can learn about this and much more by reading the information in the article.
Location
The river begins at the intersection of the street. Rokotova (next to the Novoyasenevskaya metro station) and Solovyino proezd and crosses the famous Bitsevsky forest park. Then it flows through an underground pipe to the Pokrovskaya station (Kursk direction), and then in an open channel along the northern section of the Chertanovo Yuzhnoye district.
In the Tsaritsyno section, the Gorodnya River is mostly dammed and forms the Borisov and Tsaritsyn ponds. Further, crossing Brateevo at the Besedinsky Bridge on the Moscow Ring Road, it flows into the Moscow River.
Something from history
The lands around Gorodnya have been inhabited since ancient times. The first known settlers were the Vyatichi Slavs. Their mounds (dated by archaeologists as structures of the 12th-13th centuries) could be found back in the 20th century along the entire length of the river near the following settlements: Pokrovskoye, Biryulyovo, Shipilovo, Brateevo, Borisovo. The Vyatichi villages were located below these mounds, near the river.
Apparently, on the site of one of the mounds, on the left bank of the Gorodnya River, the Brateevskoye settlement remained. In 1992, together with the Brateevsky Kurgans, it was taken under state protection. It is difficult to say whether there is anything left of him today.
Description
The length of the river is 16,000 meters, 13,500 of which are in the open channel (including ponds). The lower part of the reservoir is quite heavily polluted.
Right tributaries: Shmelevka, Yazvenka, Popov, Boyakov, Popov, Senkovsky and Teplyakovsky ravines. Left tributaries: Kotlyakovka, Chertanovka and Belyaev ravine. The valley of the Gorodnya River in Moscow is picturesque and deeply incised along almost its entire length, but has been greatly changed. It retains its original appearance only within the Bitsevsky forest. In 1991, 5 of its zones were declared natural monuments. In 1971, the Gorodyansky Bridge was built across the river.
Settlements
At the river mouth, the content of iron salts and petroleum products in the water exceeds the maximum permissible concentrations.
Having no recreational or fishing significance, Gorodnya gives the landscape and architectural appearance of the city some originality. In the coastal areas there are the villages of Pokrovskoye, Biryulevo, Tsaritsyno, Shipilovka, Khokhlovka, Brateevo and Borisovo.
Gorodyanka Street shares the same name with the river.
About the origin of the name
Most likely, the river Gorodnya in Moscow (photo presented in the article) received its name from the name of the village of Pokrovskoye-Gorodnya. Pospelov E.M. offers a hydronymic explanation of the name of the river: the word “gorodnya” means a fence, a fence in the river.
In other words, the name “Gorodnya” (or “Gorodenka” in the 16th-19th centuries) comes from the word “fence”, which means “to put up a dam, to block off”. There is a version that the name for this reservoir was invented in the 13th century by settlers from the outskirts of Kolomna.
Indeed, dams on this river were installed for fishing purposes and, according to archaeologists, for navigation. At a time when agricultural work was fraught with great difficulties, fishing was one of the main branches of the economy. The surrounding area is represented by dense forests and impassable snow, so the rivers at that time were the main routes of communication. And today Gorodnya is the longest (16 km) waterway in the Southern District.
Attractions
Gorodnya is not of tourist importance, but its valley in the area of the Bitsevsky forest park and the Tsaritsynsky Upper Pond is a place of mass summer recreation for residents of the capital. In the Brateevo area, the left bank of the river is landscaped.
After Moscow Mayor S. Sobyanin inspected the park in the river valley in July 2012, approximately 230 million rubles were allocated for the improvement of its territory. Already in 2013, one of the sections of the park near Gorodnya became part of
Park in the floodplain of the Gorodnya River
This is a section of forest with a river flowing through its territory. The river valley has semi-water and tree-shrub vegetation. Before the confluence of Gorodnya and the Moscow River there is a large Brateevskaya floodplain with willow trees, reeds and cattails along the perimeter of the lakes.
The park is home to insects and plants included in the capital's Red Book. In total there are more than 10 species. These are the brittle algae hara, multi-colored elm, shiny dragonfly, gypsy chervonets butterfly, etc. There is also a wetland complex in the park (the largest within the boundaries of the Moscow Ring Road). This is the habitat of 58 species of animals.
After reconstruction (2012), volleyball and basketball courts, as well as a cozy picnic area, appeared in the park. There are bicycle paths (20 km) here, which turn into ski tracks in winter. In addition, gazebos have been built here for veterans and walking paths covered with paving slabs have been laid.
Rare river inhabitant
Only in Gorodnya a small population of one of the beautiful and rather rare species of frogs - the red-bellied toad - has been preserved. It differs from its relatives in the color of its belly, which is bright red with black spots. With such a unique coloring, it warns heron, pike and perch that it is dangerous to eat it.
This species of amphibian secretes a rather poisonous mucus.
How to get there?
The Gorodnya River in Moscow, as noted above, flows through the city. To get to the park area, you need to get to the Borisovo metro station and, going out onto the street, just cross the road. This is the intersection of the street. Rokotova with Solovyin proezd. Bitsevsky Park, the northern part of the Chertanovo Yuzhnoye district, the vicinity of Pokrovskaya station, Tsaritsyno, the Brateevo and Zyablikovo districts, the Besedinsky bridges section - all these are the places where the river flows.
The park area can be reached by buses No. 651, 648, 262 and by trolleybus No. 81 to the Bitsevsky Park Metro stop. You can also get to the Novoyasenevskaya and Bitsevsky Park metro stations.
