One of the most prestigious in Moscow, the Troekurovskoye cemetery is considered a branch, or rather, a continuation of the legendary Novodevichy. Designed for the burial of famous people. The cemetery is located near the ring road (MKAD). The Troekurovskoye cemetery, which can be reached from the Kuntsevskaya metro station by bus 612, is also accessible by car. Currently, its territory is expanding significantly due to the annexation of nearby land.
The history of the Troekurovsky cemetery originates from the estate of the boyar Troyekurov, who once lived in Moscow. A small burial place in the village of Troekurovka, gradually growing, turned into a Moscow city cemetery. Its territory is well-groomed, the layout of the plots is subject to strict symmetry, the graves do not line up in a line, but there is no chaos in the location of the burials. In the 20th century, the Troekurovskoye cemetery became the resting place for honored people of Russia, top military leaders, members of the Central Committee of the CPSU and Heroes of the Soviet Union. In 1975 the Necropolis was opened. And later, at the Troekurovsky cemetery, they began to bury people of art andcelebrities.
The legendary Alla Larionova, whom the whole country remembers for her role as Lyubava in the film "Sadko", which was released in 1953, rests in the cemetery. Larionova died in 2000 from a heart attack. Next to her rests Nikolai Rybnikov, her legal husband. And although they were in a quarrel for many years, they are buried side by side. The Troekurovsky cemetery reconciled them forever.
Vladimir Troshin, Russian pop singer of the 60s. No one better than him could not perform the sincere, heartfelt song "Moscow Evenings". He was buried next to Anatoly Dneprov, who was a wonderful composer and performer of his songs.
