Initially, in Russia, the streets were named after church holidays or the church that was located on it, and later - in honor of we althy citizens. Later, after the French Revolution, a tradition came to us to name streets, neighborhoods, districts and cities after the people who accomplished the feat.

Backstory

In the 18th century, the territory of the modern village of Kommunarka was called differently. It was the Sosensky camp (in the Middle Ages, the Moscow province was divided into volosts and camps), which was famous for its dairy products: sour cream, cottage cheese, cream, baked milk. Meadows with multigrass in these areas created favorable conditions for the development of dairy farming here. The products of the peasants of this camp were known in Moscow markets and outside the city.

History of "Kommunarka"

In 1925, a farm was established on this territory, which united about a dozen nearby villages and specialized in the production of dairy products.

In 1961, the Kommunarka state farm received the status of a breeding plant. Monakhova became the director of the state farm at that time. Alexandra Nikitichna. She was born in the Republic of Mordovia on March 24, 1914. She graduated from the Timiryazev Moscow Agricultural Academy, becoming a certified agronomist. In 1960, she became the director of the state farm and headed it until 1986.

Monakhova Alexandra transformed Kommunarka from a backward and primitive economy into a developed modern agricultural enterprise, where the latest technologies and intensive farming were used.

In the 80s, the livestock here numbered 9 thousand heads, of which 4250 were cows. In less than 20 years, milk sales have tripled, amounting to about 20,000 tons per year.

Monakhova Alexandra anxiously cared for the workers of the state farm, a two-shift working day was introduced on the farm, which allowed milkmaids to have normalized working hours and free time. In the 70s, on her initiative, large-scale housing construction was launched in the village. State farm workers were able to get comfortable apartments, all conditions for work were created for them.

In 1977, a new dairy complex was built here, it was the first mechanized and automated complex in the Moscow region, and Alexandra Nikitichna Monakhova acted as the initiator of this construction. The stud farm again became famous throughout the Soviet Union. With the development of the complex, it became possible to increase the number of livestock up to 10 thousand. The daily milk yield was 55 tons. Pedigree cattle were bought by agricultural enterprises from all over the country.

Since the 90s, almost all agricultural enterprises in the country began to decline, this fate befell the Kommunarka breeding plant.

Hero of Socialist Labor

In the state breeding plant "Kommunarka" - worked three women who received the title of Hero of Socialist Labor: Alexandra Nikitichna Monakhova, Anna Petrovna Dyudyukina, Maria Sergeevna Gromova. It was they who glorified their native state farm throughout the Soviet Union. Then they did not even suspect that streets of cities would be named after them and books would be written about them. Much later will appear in Moscow st. Alexandra Monakhova and an essay will be written about them. And at that time, they just worked and did not think about exploits and glory. It was a time of plans and five-year plans, a time of high achievements in a short time. Gromova Maria became the initiator of the increase in milk yield, she independently mastered a mechanical milking combine, which dramatically increased labor productivity. Her initiative was taken up by all the milkmaids of the farm. So the milkmaids Gromova Maria and Dyudyukina Anna, as well as their director Alexandra Monakhova, become living legends, and Kommunarka becomes the leading agricultural enterprise in the country. Modern technologies and intensive production are the key to the success of the state farm, according to Alexandra Monakhova.

In the 70s, newspapers and magazines wrote a lot about the labor feat of the heroines, and today, in 2012, a book-essay about Monakhova Alexander, Gromova Maria and Anna Dyudyukina "The Golden Glory of Kommunarka" was published Kirill Barmashev. The book immortalized the merits of these outstandingwomen for the ages.

Alexandra Monakhova Street (Moscow)

In honor of Monakhova Alexandra, on May 23, 2013, a street was named in the settlement of Sosenskoye in the city of Moscow (Novomoskovsk district). The street passes through the village of Kommunarka, connects Akademika Semenov Street and Kaluga Highway.

Initially, the street was a dead-end lane that went from the Kaluga highway to the village of Kommunarka. The settlement was actively built up and it was necessary to carry out the reconstruction of the street, which was carried out in 2014–2015. The road was extended to Yuzhny Butovo and expanded from 2 lanes to 6. The new road was opened by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sabyanin in July 2015.

So appeared in Moscow st. Alexandra Monakhova, hero of labor and strong-willed woman.
