Presidential Medical Center Sanatorium, railway station on Usovskoe direction of the Belarus railway, the village in the sanatorium at Podushkinskoe highway and village on the Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway - all this abundance of topographic objects is called by the proud name of Barvikha. So, the place that makes the man, elite land, and no less elite air, unique sights, and much more unique neighbors, architectural recherché and luxury of the preserved nature make the Barvikha village, which is on Rublevka.
The history of this truly royal dwelling is deeply rooted in the
distant past. The village was being born over several centuries, and
this birth (as of the settlement itself, and its name) was whimsical
and capricious. Its story begins in the middle of the 19th century when
General Alexander B. Kazakov became the owner of a neighboring
Podushkino village. As a man of action and initiative, he started a
business project for the construction and establishment of a dacha
community.
Initially, this dacha community was planned to be built near
Usovo, which Kazakov even managed to buy, but was soon forced to
concede to the Palace agency. Having abandoned his plans related to
Usovo, Kazakov proceeded to implement them at a new place - where the
Zvenigorod road (modern Uspenskoe highway) crossed Samynka brook,
flowing into the Moskva river. So the Barvikha village appeared. The
daughter of the owner with her second husband built a famous Meyendorf
estate, the brickworks, laid out a park, renovated ponds.
In 1918,
Lenin himself often visited Barvikha to enjoy the fresh air and to rest
from his righteous work. It was then that the resort-nomenclature era
of the village started. In March 1935 the USSR Ministry of Finance
resort was organized in the castle building Barvikha, where in
different years Mikhail Bulgakov, Irakliy Andronnikov, Dmitry
Shostakovich, Sergei Korolev, Igor Kurchatov, Luis Corvalan, Yuri
Gagarin and others rested and were treated. Mikhail Bonch-Bruevich's
dacha was located near the village. A famous writer Alexei Tolstoy
lived at one of the state dachas from 1938 to 1945. Then came
Khrushchev, Brezhnev and ... Yeltsin.
The first Russian president has
turned Barvikha into a fashionable trend. What to see? First of all,
you should see a site of the first century AD, known as the Prince
Serebryaniy estate. Then, be sure to try to get into the Meyendorf
castle (they say, that some succed). The castle was built in 1874 on
the draft of a remarkable Moscow architect Petr Boitsov. The Gothic
style building struck by the wealth of its internal decor.
Interestingly, that the scaly roofs covering is not subject to time and
remains for several centuries already without any repair. According to
the legend, the castle has an underpass to the Moscow river, which its
eccentric mistress often used in the past. A wonderful park that starts
right from the front porch was the glory of Meyendorf baroness castle.
Today one can see here the mighty Ussuriysk cedars, California maples
and the famous cork oak brought from China.
What to buy? Of
course, a house! Or at least a plot, as there are a lot of
opportunities - new cottage villages Barvikha Club, Barvikha Hills,
etc. are constantly being built and handed over. Where to go? A place
recommended to visit is the Barvikha Luxury Village. A special Barvikha
phenomenon is that the luxury shops have appeared here before the ones
in the capital. The best trademarks of the world are waiting for you in
the Luxury Village - Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney,
Sergio Rossi, Boucheron, Gucci, Ermenegildo Zegna, Tod's, Prada,
Brioni, etc. With each new season, the shops grow more and more in
number. Luxury brands are competing with each other - who would arrange
a more luxurious presentation, to whom more celebrities would arrive
for the opening, whose guests would shine brighter...
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
