A brief history of the area
In the middle of the 17th century, the forests surrounding the village of Fili were royal hunting grounds. At the end of the century, the Great Peter transferred the village to the ownership of Naryshkin Lev Kirillovich (brother of the king's mother). The Naryshkin family owned the lands for more than 150 years, moreover, later they also acquired the neighboring village of Kuntsevo, where their estate was founded. The year 1763 is significant in that in Fili L. Naryshkin was visited by Catherine II, who favored him then.
Fili also went down in history as the venue for the military council during the war of 1812. It was on it that the commander-in-chief of the army M. Kutuzov decided to surrender Moscow to the enemy. And the meeting was held in the hut of a simple peasant Frolov.
It should be noted that Napoleon's soldiers during the offensive desecrated the village temple and burned part of the village. The consequences of that fire were eliminated over time.

Fili was included in Moscow in 1935, later, in 1947, the very magnificent park of culture and recreation that is known now.
