Tsaritsyno - a palace and park ensemble in the south of Moscow; founded by order of Empress Catherine II in 1776. The Tsaritsyno palace and park ensemble, covering an area of more than 100 hectares, is located on a hilly terrain, crossed by ravines, on the site of the former estate of the Kantemir princes and inherited some of its features. The territory of the ensemble and park is bounded from the north-east and south by two deep ravines, from the west by Tsaritsyn ponds, and from the east by a complex of greenhouses.
The area, which later became Tsaritsyn, has been known since the end of the 16th century as the patrimony of Tsarina Irina, sister of Boris Godunov, called the village of Bogorodskoye. In 1633, the Black Mud wasteland (as it became known as Bogorodskoe) passed into the possession of the Streshnevs boyars, relatives of the wife of the first tsar from the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Fedorovich. In 1684, the boyar Ivan Fedorovich Streshnev ceded the village of Chernaya Gryaz to his grandson, Alexei Vasilyevich Golitsyn (son of Prince Vasily Golitsyn, the favorite of Princess Sophia).
After the deposition of Sophia, the property of Prince Vasily Golitsyn and his son was confiscated. Peter I, at the end of the Prut campaign in 1712, granted Black Dirt and nearby villages to Prince Dmitry Cantemir, the Moldovan ruler, an ally of Russia in the confrontation with Turkey, who was forced to move to Russia.
For more than 200 years, this palace and park ensemble stood and gradually collapsed, falling into disrepair, and its dungeons in the troubled 90s of the twentieth century were inhabited by strange, sometimes dangerous residents - forbidden, often "devilish" sects.
What the Tsaritsyn refuge of the community of underground brothers looked like can be imagined from the altar of this sect, discovered in the summer of 1995 by a group of Moscow diggers:
“In the wall opening of an old dried-up drain on square tiles, laid simply on a heap of rubble and dust, there were: a pumice urn, a wooden bucket with a beak of a bird of prey instead of a handle, several figurines of fantastic monsters and gods. There was also a human skull that had turned yellow from time to time. In the depths of the "altar" there was a bulky iron cross … The skull of one of the gods was naked, another small naked shard with the same gaping sockets with the empty sockets was inserted into it."
When the diggers tried to light a small candle, which was hidden deep inside the figurine's throat, the flame flared in the mouth with a pale yellow tongue, thick acrid smoke poured from the eye openings.

Why did the sect of underground brothers choose exactly the territory of Tsaritsyn to create their "altar"? To deal with this issue, let's get acquainted with the opinion of the candidate of art history Rimma Baiburova:
“It was as if evil fate was pursuing everyone who dealt with this place. The first owner since 1633 Semyon Streshnev was left without heirs - the branch was interrupted. The fate of the descendants of Alexei Golitsyn turned out to be sad. Immediately in one generation the oldest family of the Kantemirs ceased …"
Rimma Mikhailovna came to the conclusion that "… Tsaritsyno, the former Black Mud, does not have any stable life on her land and is cruelly avenging her for attempts to pacify her." Here we mean not only the color or consistency of the soil, but also the meaning of the name as an unkind, evil, dark force.
It is with this evil spirits, with impure negative energy that the desire of black sects to create an "altar" for themselves in the Black Mud is connected, and the misfortunes that befell the owners of the estates.
A group of dowsing operators, led by Rostislav Dobovik, who studied the energy activity of individual places in Tsaritsyn, tried to deal with the "unclean place". In February 1993, when building a map of the geopathogenic zones of the Tsaritsyn forest park, the group discovered a large negative anomaly located under the main palace of the ensemble.
Biolocation operators found confirmation of their research in the park's vegetation. The appearance of its trees indicates that the soil here is fertile for plants, and they feel great in the park. The exception is “spots” of geopathogenic zones associated with groundwater streams. The largest and most intensive zone is located under the Grand Palace, where only weeds grew before its renovation.
Abnormal energy also affects long-lived trees, which usually do not exceed a century in the unfavorable atmosphere of a metropolis. And here, near the Bread House, veteran oaks of the same age as Peter the Great were found: one 30-meter oak, as the ecologists found out, is 300 years old, the other - 250. In one of the old-timers, at a height of 3 m, a huge 5-meter hollow was found. It's like a mirror image of underground passages! There was also an unusual ash tree nearby - 25 m high and over 100 years old.
The feeling of being in touch with the unknown is experienced by many people who work and often visit Tsaritsyno.
“This place, no doubt, has tremendous energy. Not good and not bad, just different, - says Evgenia Alekhina, who works at the museum. - We feel here as if in another world. Such aliens. Like a stalker in Tarkovsky's "zone". Whether it is a gift or a punishment - nobody knows."
Noting the peculiarity of the Tsaritsyn area, the journalists figuratively note that no matter how we manage it, but it - us …
A remarkable fact testifies to the reality of the impact of the discovered geopathogenic zone. The line of the geopathogenic zone from the Tsaritsyn Grand Palace stretches along the fairway of the Orangery ponds cascade to the Orekhovo metro station.
Here, to the southeast, between the new buildings, there was once the Staro-Kashirskoye highway, and now underground tunnels have been laid underground towards the Domodedovskaya and Krasnogvardeyskaya stations. In the Moscow metro, minor power supply problems occur on all lines. But for some reason, especially often they occur on the segment "Tsaritsyno" - "Orekhovo".
They are already accustomed to the failure of fire alarms, traffic lights, and the occurrence of short circuits. Some metro workers, half-jokingly, half-seriously, say that a brownie has settled in the tunnel, interfering with normal work. It is because of him in this place that various equipment breaks down so often.
Biolocation operators found in Tsaritsyn quite numerous underground structures that appeared during the construction of the Palace ensemble, an underground passage connecting the Small and Big palaces. The course is 2 m 20 cm wide and 2 m 30 cm high.
Dowsing also made it possible to determine that the walls of the passage were made of bricks, and the upper part of the vault was made of white stone. Found on the territory of the Palace ensemble and other anomalies, which may well be underground passages. But it is impossible to penetrate them today - the entrances have long been collapsed and covered with earth.
The reality of the existence of an extensive system of underground passages in Tsaritsyn is evidenced not only by legends, the results of biolocation studies and the sect of the underground brotherhood. There are also people who have visited the mysterious catacombs.
A modern researcher of the mysteries of this area, Igor Sergeev, writes about the existence of an underground passage on the central island of the Upper Tsaritsyn pond, branching into three directions: the north - along the fairway of the Tsareborisovskie ponds, the south - towards the Yazvenka river basin, and the central - to the east under the steep bank.
The last move was visited by a resident of Tsaritsyn I. Stempkovsky. In 1939, together with a group of teenagers, Stempkovsky descended into the ancient labyrinths, some of which lie under the ponds and out onto the island.
“In them, they were attacked by strange creatures that resembled unusually large river otters in the light of a lantern. With great difficulty the guys got to the surface and, severely bitten, were sent to the hospital …"
Earlier there were incredible stories about the Tsaritsyn ponds. At the bottom of the ponds, there are supposedly alien devices. The rumor that here in the park a 3-meter robot is coming out of the lake was spread by a certain Herman Sh., A man with an unbalanced psyche. But careful checks of the Kosmopoisk researchers showed that nothing like this exists in this area.
