Historical reference

On April 1, 2022, the Law of the Moscow Region “On the unification of the territories of the Likino-Dulevo urban district of the Moscow region and the Orekhovo-Zuevo urban district of the Moscow region” came into force.

The administrative center of the new Orekhovo-Zuyevo urban district became the city of Orekhovo-Zuevo.

The city of Orekhovo-Zuevo is one of the largest cities in the Eastern Moscow region with a multifunctional and developed infrastructure.

The history of the city is inextricably linked with the dynasties of outstanding Russian industrialists, philanthropists, the Morozovs and Zimins. In 1820, Savva Vasilyevich Morozov bought his freedom from serfdom along with his sons, acquired a plot of land on the right bank of the Klyazma and moved his production from Zuev. A commodity finishing and dyeing factory was built here. Thus began the growth of the industrial town of Nikolskoye. Subsequently, Morozov built several more factories, among them the largest paper spinning and weaving factory at that time, which employed English specialists. In 1847, the Morozovs began producing cotton fabrics. It was this period that marked the beginning of the emergence of the Orekhovsky Cotton Mill. The father's work was continued by his sons. Seventy years later, there were 17 factories in Orekhov, employing more than thirty thousand workers. At the beginning of the 20th century, the town of Nikolskoye turned into a cultural center. In the shortest possible time, barracks for workers were built, and the People's Celebration Park, which was considered the best in the Moscow province, was landscaped. A hospital with 300 beds with surgical, therapeutic, gynecological and maternity departments, an outpatient clinic and a pharmacy appeared. The Winter Theater became the first public drama theater in Russia, specially built for workers. Not a single provincial city had such a theater, the scenery of which was considered the richest and most beautiful. Orekhovo-Zuevo also went down in the history of the country as the center of the revolutionary labor movement. Here in 1885 the famous Morozov strike took place, in which more than 10,000 workers took part.

In turn, the territory of the former urban district of Likino-Dulevo is an ancient land with its own culture and interesting history, dating back many centuries.

The region was considered a historical, commercial and religious center. In the village of Guslitsy, handwritten books were written, mostly songs, decorated with gold ornaments. The area was also famous for its icons of local writing and copper casting.

The geographical location of the region and its historical past determined the main trends in its development. During the Soviet period, the area developed as a large industrial center. During these years, the Dulevo Paint Factory and the Likino Bus Factory were created, and enterprises created before the revolution, for example, the famous Dulevo Porcelain Factory, were improved.

Other routing methods

Perhaps the simplest alternative is to open a road atlas and plot a route on the map by eye. Then, by rolling a curvimeter along the route, you can get the approximate mileage. Estimating travel time will be more difficult: to do this, you will have to divide the route into fragments with the same class of roads and measure the sum of the lengths of the fragments of each class. Further, knowing the average speed for each class of roads, it is easy to calculate the time by dividing the distance by the speed.

If you don’t have a curvimeter at hand, you can use a ruler. Place the zero mark of the ruler at the starting point of the route and move the ruler, tightly adjoining it to the curves of the road.

You can also calculate the distance between cities using tables that are published in atlases and reference books. This is quite convenient for routes starting and ending in large cities. Small settlements, as a rule, are not included in the tables.
