The ecological situation that has developed on the territory of Lyubertsy (especially its northern part) cannot be called anything other than a catastrophe. The number of life-threatening industries located both in the city and in its vicinity (within a radius of 1-3 km !!) is so great that there are big doubts about the suitability of this territory for life. Here are some of them:
1. Industrial zone "Rudnevo". This is the most dangerous industrial zone in Moscow - there are two waste incineration plants at once - Plant No. 4 (the largest in the Moscow region) and the Ecolog incinerator.
Waste incineration plant No. 4 "Ecotechprom" MSZ-4 is 250,000 tons of garbage that has practically not undergone processing and is incinerated annually, approximately 700 tons or 100 garbage trucks daily. When waste is incinerated, new harmful chemical compounds are formed, the most dangerous of which are dioxins, as well as up to 30% of the volume of poisonous ash that must be disposed of. Therefore, all the poisons contained in plastic (dioxins), electrical goods (heavy metals) - the list goes on for a long time - go straight to the lungs of residents of nearby areas.
The Ecolog veterinary incineration plant is a place for the disposal of biologically hazardous waste - expired medicines, confiscated meat and poultry, meat contaminated with dangerous diseases (including anthrax), dead animals, used disposable medical equipment.
Both enterprises belong to the highest (first) class of environmental hazard in accordance with the current sanitary rules and regulations (SanPiN) and assume the presence of a sanitary protection zone (SPZ) with a size of at least 1 kilometer for each of these facilities.

EVERYDAY, in the evening and at night, residents of Lyubertsy experience a strong unpleasant sickening odor resulting from the operation of VOCs and incinerators, which causes fatigue, dizziness, coughing, suffocation and vomiting in many residents. At the same time, residents note that over the past year, the intensity of an unpleasant odor at night has increased many times, there is a sharp increase in various concomitant diseases. In the evening and at night (and sometimes in the daytime), because of the sickening stench, it is not only impossible to be on the street, but also in an apartment, EVEN WITH CLOSED WINDOWS!
An excess of hygienic standards for the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, which has an unpleasant odor and is an indicator of VOC emissions, was recorded.
Recently, according to the official information of the Moscow Department of Construction, on the territory of the village. Kraskovo Lyubertsy district, in the area of the river. Pekhorka and Lyubertsy-2 stations are importing hazardous soils from the territory of the chemical plant, which is being demolished by the Kuskovo Order of the Badge of Honor. At the same time, the landfill for the delivery of soils is not properly formalized and not fenced, the reclamation project has not been approved, an environmental impact assessment has not been carried out, and there is no control of the imported soil. Work on the delivery of soil (disposal of construction and demolition waste from the Kuskovo chemical plant) is of a large-scale nature, carried out on the basis of an illegal order of the administration of the town of Kraskovo dated 02.12.11. This led to regular and massive complaints from the population about a sharp "chemical", " phenolic "smell, the growth of visits to medical institutions and pose a pronounced threat to the inhabitants of the entire Lyubertsy district and adjacent territories.
Despite repeated appeals of citizens to local authorities and regulatory authorities, the sources of unpleasant odor have not yet been eliminated, measures to reduce the amount of emissions of hydrogen sulfide and other harmful substances, and to stabilize the environmental situation in the Lyubertsy region have not been taken. We would also like to note that hundreds of thousands of square meters have been built on this territory over the past 3 years. meters of housing, construction does not stop now. If the construction of thousands of housing in an ecologically dangerous area is allowed, then there must be actions to eliminate the danger, which, despite numerous and constant complaints from residents, are absolutely invisible.
A week after Easter, Christians around the world celebrate the Red Hill holiday. The Orthodox Church calls it Antipaskha, Fomin's Sunday. Various traditions are also observed on this holiday, but not everyone knows what they are doing on Krasnaya Gorka in the cemetery.
The Red Hill holiday is an interweaving of pagan and Orthodox traditions. From Slavic "red" means "beautiful", "cheerful", "blooming". But the holiday is named so because earlier the youth in the village gathered at the "Red" place, on the mountain.
What to do and what not to do in the cemetery on Krasnaya Gorka
On Krasnaya Gorka, Christians come to the cemetery to the graves of their deceased relatives. On the morning of this festive day, funeral liturgies are served in churches. Clergymen tirelessly repeat that on such a holiday it is better to cancel the trip to the cemetery and visit the temple.
On the day of Krasnaya Gorka, not everything can be done at the cemetery. For example, it is forbidden to clean up graves. At the same time, summer residents do not work in vegetable gardens and orchards on this day. They say that if you plant a tree, bush or culture on a holiday, then there will be no fruit, the plant will not rise. The Orthodox Church does not approve of decorating graves in cemeteries and funeral tables with them. It is recommended to remember the deceased relatives at home at the table with the family. No alcohol is consumed on Krasnaya Gorka!
Traditions, prohibitions and signs on Krasnaya Gorka
As already mentioned, the Red Hill is called Antipaskha. On this day, you must definitely wear new, smart clothes. On a holiday, they arrange round dances, chants, the guys get to know the girls and vice versa, they woo. You can't make a row on this day, conflict with others, be discouraged. It is not customary to work in the yard on holiday, as well as to do house cleaning. At the cemetery, it is better to go to Radonitsa, on April 17.

Lyubertsy is a small city near Moscow with very blurred borders with the capital. The Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line of the Moscow Metro, the future terminal station of which Kotelniki (construction is planned to be completed at the end of 2014), is located just a couple of stops from the entrance to the city of Lyubertsy.
The city of Lyubertsy was recognized only in 1925. Prior to that, since 1623, from time immemorial, in these places there were rural estates that bore the name of Khazantsevo, and then - Liberitsa, and at one time even belonged to the future emperor Peter III. The fate of Lyubertsy was largely determined by what was laid here in the second half of the 19th century. the railway to Kolomna and Ryazan, as well as the construction of the Ukhtomsky plant: the industry began to grow, the population began to increase rapidly, and soon the former villages were united into a new and still young city.
Climate and ecology Lyubertsy
Despite the fact that the city is located in the Moscow region and has an identical temperature regime with Moscow, it is harder to breathe in it than in Moscow. Lyubertsy specializes in industrial production, which is inextricably linked with emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
For example, the Lyubertsy fields were for a very long time the field of activity of the Ecolog plant, aeration (filtration, irrigation) was carried out there. Since the 60s, they have not been used, and in 2011 the government decided to clean up the Lyubertsy fields and give them for construction for residential buildings. However, people now find it difficult to live in houses built on former irrigation sites, in the basements of which methane accumulates. The Lyubertsy aeration station is still nearby, it is impossible to close it. Therefore, the night wind from the north side in spring and summer brings into the open windows of the townspeople an indescribable range of smells, which can only be emitted by active sludge, which is formed in the process of processing the contents of sewage from all over Moscow. In May 2014, it was decided to cover the wastewater treatment plant with hoods, but at the moment this project has not yet been implemented.
In Lyubertsy there are several large enterprises producing technological equipment and building materials. These include Torgmash OJSC, NPK Perfect Mechanics and others. Also here is the famous Helicopter Plant named after. Kamov.
The abundance of emissions from industries of this type negatively affects the ecological situation in the city: the soils are saturated with compounds of heavy metals, trees and plants get sick, reservoirs are gradually becoming unsuitable for swimming.
The air is saturated with dust, especially in hot weather. Walking the streets does not bring refreshing relief; on the contrary, it makes you feel tired. Children never pick cherries and apples from trees that were once planted on the lawns near houses, because even children know that the juicy ripeness of these fruits is fraught with serious poisoning.
In addition, the streets of the city are very littered. The situation with cleaning and garbage disposal is very bad.
The streets of Lyubertsy look especially depressing in spring, when the snow melts and everything that has imperceptibly accumulated under it for three to four months is exposed. The wind blows dust, faded wrappers, rustles with plastic bottles; tattered plastic bags, whirling smoothly, soar into the air, threatening to land on someone's head.
Such wonderful places in the vicinity of the city as the Lyubertsy quarries suffer from pollution with common waste. Filled with natural wealth and strength, even if they were once artificially created by man, they are now an outlet among the bustle of the city and dustiness.

Old residents of Lyubertsy say that during their youth, the water in the quarries was transparent, like in the sea, it could be scooped up and drunk without fear of poisoning.
Now on the beaches there are signs warning about the unsafe swimming, but this does not stop people in their quest to save themselves from the heat.
City population
Despite such an unfavorable ecological situation, the city is actively being built up and quite densely populated. In general, the Lyubertsy district surpasses all other districts of the Moscow region in terms of population density. The population is rapidly approaching 200 thousand people. (currently 185 thousand people) and, according to forecasts, is expected to double after the implementation of the planned projects for the construction of residential premises and the opening of the Kotelniki metro station.
The birth rate in Lyubertsy exceeds the death rate. There are really many children in this city. Unlike Moscow, Lyubertsy children spend a lot of time on the streets. Playgrounds are filled with noisy children almost all day long in good weather. Here are children of all ages: from the smallest, who have barely learned to walk and clumsily rush along the rocky paths, to the eldest, who are about to leave noisy games, having entered a difficult teenage period.
Children play various games, build houses from cardboard boxes, climb trees, catch up with each other. A child in this city has a real chance to learn how to communicate and make friends normally, unlike Moscow, where you will not meet anyone at playgrounds except two or three mothers with very young children who still cannot speak clearly.
This is most likely due to the fact that there are a lot of young families living in Lyubertsy who cannot afford an apartment in Moscow, so they settle in the Moscow region and go to work in nearby Moscow. They do not have the means to buy expensive computers or electronic games for their children, so the children in Lyubertsy have to have fun "the old fashioned way", while the Moscow guys are drowning in the world of games and virtual communication.
The town is close, communication here is also close and simple. As the saying goes, everyone knows everything about everyone, there is little entertainment, so in the evenings adults go out to talk, see and discuss each other. Holidays are celebrated noisy. They walk the streets for a long time until morning, singing songs. Even for the opening of the new cinema, a whole crowd gathered.

In general, life in this city is somehow so structured that everyone is in plain sight. Everyone goes to the same grocery stores, to the market, to the same tent for bread, and over time they already recognize each other in line, meeting at the same hour, and the seller guesses who came for what. Even the windows of neighboring houses look into each other so much that in the evenings you can see people walking in the house not only opposite, but also at a distance across the road.
Despite such a widespread feeling that everyone around is their own, and maybe because of it, people are so not ashamed of anything that crime is flourishing, as they say, in a stormy color. For example, new window frames left at the entrance by the door until the evening can be carried away and installed by residents from the same entrance on the same day.
It is better not to walk down the street at night unless absolutely necessary, since you can certainly meet with some drunken company or other dubious social elements, and this meeting will not end well.
At the same time, the care with which people plant flowers under their windows is striking. Some even set up entire mini-gardens with ponds and night lights. Even just driving through the streets by transport, it is impossible not to notice the luxurious flower beds created by the hands of the townspeople, who delight the eye with various flowers all summer long.
Areas and real estate Lyubertsy
Walk the city streets with Google panoramas
And yet, despite the efforts of the inhabitants, Lyubertsy does not become more comfortable, this city seems to be divided into two layers: heaven and earth. Looking at the city from the windows of tall buildings, one can see orderly rows of glittering skyscrapers, now here and there the roofs of lower houses towering above the roofs of the green sea, and above all this the boundlessly stretching blue spacious sky, which is plowed by airplanes, leaving white cloudy traces.
If you go down and go out into the street, even the beauty of the abundant greenery of the trees does not brighten up the dullness, dullness and neglect prevailing on the streets. The city of Lyubertsy appeared as a settlement near the plant and the railway, and so it remained in all its essence and structure. It is as if this city is not intended for rest and life, but in order to have a place to while away your life in between working hours.
It is enough to walk through the districts and look at their buildings and structure to be convinced of this.
Kalinin village built near the Ukhtomsk plant, in this area there are even log houses that were built in the 19th century for the plant's engineers. Further, this area runs between Oktyabrsky Prospekt and Lenin Street along the railway tracks, its borders end long before the Lermontovsky Boulevard metro station under construction.
Most of the houses in the area are old, built in Soviet times. There are no new buildings, but there are houses with built-up floors. Since in Soviet times, citizens had few cars, parking and parking were not included in the street development plan, respectively, there is a pile of cars on the sides of the already narrow courtyard roads.

A two-room apartment here can be purchased for the amount that in Moscow will have to be paid for a one-room apartment somewhere on the outskirts, and it is difficult to find such an option - about 7 million rubles.)
The Ukhtomskaya railway station (simply Ukhtomka) is located on the territory of this district. A small trading market has formed near it, which is going to be liquidated in the near future. Modern shops and offices nestle on the lower floors of old buildings, as if squeezed into perennial cracked walls with their bright signs.
Microdistrict Oktyabrskiye proezdy is located in the center of the city, its borders are outlined by Oktyabrsky Prospekt, Kirov Street and 4th Lyuberetsky Proezd. This is an area of high-rise new buildings, the development and improvement of which is progressing progressively. Once on this place was the village of Podosinki, now there are rows of brilliant verticals of residential complexes with their salons, bars and shops in each courtyard.
A one-room apartment here can be purchased for about 4 million rubles, however, since we are talking about new buildings, you will have to equip it yourself.
Local residents are satisfied with the quality of construction, but they argue that the territory is poorly landscaped, for example, parking lots take up almost all the space in the yards, and there are almost no playgrounds.
115th quarter located between Novoryazanskoe highway and Moskovskaya street, on the one hand it borders on the territory of the Lyubertsy garrison, on the other - at the intersection of Moskovskaya street with Smirnovskaya street. Previously, the village of Pokrovskoye was located here, and the history of the region began with the construction of the first houses on Yubileinaya Street in 1967.
So, although this area is not one of the most advanced, like Oktyabrskie proezd, it does not even meet such neglect as in the village of Kalinina. Although there are also new buildings with salons and shops on the ground floors, their combination with Soviet-era houses looks quite harmonious. The houses on Yubileinaya Street, painted in different colors by waves, look especially interesting. Here, between the houses, there is a large green park with flower beds and playgrounds.
The comfortable and moderately built-up 115th quarter of Lyubertsy is considered by many to be the best area for living in the city. From here there are buses and minibuses to two metro stations of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line, Mega Belaya Dacha is located nearby, and the Kotelniki metro station under construction is nearby. In this regard, this area of the city can be called "sleeping". People living here mainly work in Moscow.
The range of housing prices in this area is very large, and apartments in new buildings are cheaper, however, in general, a three-room apartment can be found for 8-9 million rubles, while prices exceeding this one are rare.
Town A (Former Lyubertsy garrison) located next to the 115th block, these territories are separated by st. Highway. The territory of the former settlement of the families of the military garrison, previously closed, and in 2007 transferred to municipal ownership. The planning and construction of this area are clear, massive and wide in scope.
Residents of the city call this area the most comfortable. Indeed, here, like nowhere else in other places, there is a lot of rationally and harmoniously planned free space, and the houses do not stand in even rows close to each other. Spacious courtyards are fenced with avenues of trees and yellow walls of sturdy brick houses. Here, salons and small shops did not have time to fill the first floors, there are no colored signs, grocery and other stores are located in small buildings specially built for this, standing apart.
Of course, in this area, despite the preserved Soviet atmosphere, there is a feeling of a certain abandonment, as in the village of Kalinina. Colored signs at pedestrian crossings and signs of military glory painted on metal are rusting, lawns of even geometric shapes are overgrown with grass. And yet, in spite of everything, Town A is very clean. Local residents explain this by the fact that the soldiers have not been settled in these houses for about 20 years, but still the family military bearing and upbringing are making themselves felt.
Housing prices in this area on average do not rise above 5-6 million rubles. even for a three-room apartment.
Town B delineated by the borders of the Gorodok A and Settlement Kalinina districts, as well as the border with the Moscow district of Zhulebino along Marshal Poluboyarov Street. Previously, the territory of this area was occupied by the Garrison airfield. But when the latter became just a residential area, the need for an airfield disappeared, and the area was given over to building residential buildings. This happened relatively recently, so the territory of Gorodok B, in contrast to Gorodok A, is represented by a modern type of development and rather resembles one of the new districts of Moscow. It is possible to understand that Gorodok B was left behind when leaving Lyubertsy only by the big red letters on one of the houses that bear the name of the Zhulebino district.
In this area, one might say, in general, everything is Moscow. ATMs, saunas, snack bars, some shops that are in Moscow, but not in all Lyubertsy, can be found in Gorodok B. Accordingly, the people living here can be called Muscovites rather than Lyubertsy. There are more people in this area who spend most of their time in Moscow than anywhere else in Lyubertsy.
Recently, according to residents, the area has become very crowded, there are not enough roads and parking spaces.
Despite the proximity to Moscow, housing prices in this area are still Lyubertsy: a one-room apartment can be bought for about 3-4 million rubles, a two-room apartment will cost 7-8 million rubles.
Microdistrict "Krasnaya Gorka" stretches along Mikhelson Street between the village of Kalinin and Natashinsky Park. It got its name from the village of the same name, which was previously located in these places. At the moment, an active construction is underway in the area, the scale of which boggles the imagination and plunges into horror: on the one hand, in just a few years, instead of old squat nondescript houses, new high-rise buildings have grown here, ready to receive residents, the road system has been updated, gardens, schools and polyclinics. On the other hand, in fact, people have been forced to live on suitcases in rented apartments for several years, or in their own, but without heating and in the midst of the construction devastation around.
The large-scale business that has begun in this area is not even coming to an end. There is no light in the apartments, where there is heating, there is no lighting in the courtyards, no roads have been laid, pits have been excavated instead of playgrounds, the construction of schools, kindergartens and clinics will last for more than one month, and maybe even a year. Among other things, the exit along Oktyabrsky Prospekt from this unfinished area is periodically blocked by the flow of cars heading towards Moscow. And when Krasnaya Gorka is fully landscaped and populated by residents, this will create an even greater additional load on road transport routes.
The population of this region spends a lot of their life in filing applications and complaints, at rallies in the struggle for their rights to household goods, the presence of which is an integral part of city life for most people.
Housing prices in this "luxurious in the project" area are probably the lowest prices in all Lyubertsy: a one-room apartment can be found for 3 million rubles, and a two-room apartment will cost 5-6 million rubles.
Village Vugi, located at the intersection of Oktyabrsky Prospekt with Yegoryevskoye Highway, as if it stands apart from the rest of the city, fenced off by green trees and silence.
This area got its name from the building of the All-Union Coal Institute (VUGI) built here in the post-war years, which was later renamed into the Institute of Mining. A. A. Skochinsky (IGD). The first houses in the 50s of the XX century for the employees of the institute were built here by German prisoners of war, then they were released to their homeland, and the work was continued by Russian workers. They built it conscientiously. The houses came out strong, solid, reliable - they still stand to this day, and the descendants of those first settlers live in them.
Of the former reliability, however, only a trace remained. The houses, which have passed almost half a century, are worn out and dilapidated, although they still look very impressive. The village of Vugi has been going to be demolished more than once, but local residents are protesting against the demolition of old houses and the construction of modern high-rises in their place, as was done in other districts of Lyubertsy. They are seeking a major overhaul of houses and roads, which they probably do with their own collected funds, wanting to keep their area a quiet and peaceful place in which the Soviet era supposedly lingered.
Housing prices in this area on average do not rise above 6 million rubles, even a three-room apartment will cost such a price.

There are several more districts under construction in the city, but they do not even have names yet, only numbering.
City infrastructure
As you can see in the photographs of the districts, the state of the roads in Lyubertsy leaves much to be desired in many places: there are a lot of large holes on the roads. When it rains, on some streets, dams are formed in such pits, and a passing minibus raises a high wave with its wheels, while people inside fall on each other and onto the floor from their seats. Difficult living conditions in Lyubertsy bring people closer, in the truest sense of the word.
However, the large-scale development of the city, which has unfolded in recent years, has also captured the road network, and therefore the number of holes and defects on the roads has decreased.
In the winter of 2013, Lyubertsy was recognized as the leader among the cities near Moscow in terms of infrastructure. Experts who conducted a comparative study concluded that even in Moscow and St. Petersburg, things are worse.
There are four Russian Railways stations in the city: Lyubertsy-1, Lyubertsy-2, Ukhtomskaya and Malchiki. In addition to the fact that railways pass through the city, you can enter and leave it by buses and numerous minibuses, the travel time to Moscow in which, in the absence of traffic jams, is 20-30 minutes (if there are traffic jams in the morning and in the evening, this route takes about 1 hour ). The minibus is the main mode of transport in Lyubertsy. And on a hot summer day, the clusters of yellow minibuses in the city center look especially bright. The minibus easily maneuvers in traffic jams, which are the norm in Lyubertsy.
There is a coalition of large shopping complexes Belaya Dacha nearby, the travel time to which from Lyubertsy is approximately 15-20 minutes.
However, residents of the city do not need to travel very often for food and household goods to Auchan, Mega or Ikea, because the chain of stores in the city is well developed. They even sell things that are almost impossible to find in Moscow, for example, frozen corn on the cob by weight.
Much earlier than in Moscow, Dixie supermarkets appeared here, where food prices are comparatively lower than in Auchan. There are markets in the city where you can always buy fresh fruits and vegetables according to the season, clothes, dishes and other household items are also there. In addition, there are many small (mini) shopping centers in the city, where you can buy inexpensive, simple, but necessary things at low prices.
In the matter of servicing the housing and communal services in Lyubertsy, there is also nothing to blame, except, of course, recent new buildings, where there is always no heating or electricity, streets are not illuminated, and the prices for utilities are very high; problems of a different plan in old, but not demolished houses, where accidents often occur due to dilapidated communications, and residents wait for repairs for years.
In average houses built after the 60s. of the last century, which still make up most of the city's buildings, the prices for utilities do not differ from those in Moscow, and water, heating and electricity are supplied regularly. It is especially striking that, unlike Moscow, Lyubertsy heating works properly in three modes, always adequate to the weather outside the window, and residents are always notified in advance of water cut-offs or maintenance work.
The cost of living in such an average house for one person will cost about 3 thousand rubles. per month, taking into account all services, including electricity and gas (if any). In new buildings, housing prices are always higher, and there, without paying for electricity, at least you will have to pay about 4 thousand rubles.
In general, you can live well and inexpensively in Lyubertsy, the main thing is not to get sick. Although there are enough medical institutions in the city (3 hospitals and 10 polyclinics, plus dispensaries), the level of service in them leaves much to be desired. Hospitals have not been renovated for a long time, and peeling walls and batteries do not at all contribute to improving the moral comfort of patients. The service staff treats people rudely, almost everyone who addresses them is as if they are trying to convince him that nothing hurts him, and he was in vain. Many Lyubertsy people prefer to go to Moscow medical institutions, even if they have to travel there longer.
The situation with educational institutions is better. They are also in a city with prosperity: eight schools, two gymnasiums, two music schools, one choreographic, two sports, two technical schools, a medical college, there is a choice of universities, including branches of Moscow educational institutions and purely Lyubertsy state institutes. The teachers and teachers of these institutions could receive twice as much salary working in Moscow, but they do not leave their jobs. Perhaps this is the reason why the locals speak warmly about the places where they spent their school and student days.
It seems that in Lyubertsy, childhood and adolescence are really taken care of. On the territory of schools, a lot of various holidays and competitions are arranged, which is rarely found in Moscow, for example. For children, the city of Lyubertsy is a great place, especially given the number of playgrounds where fountains are installed (in summer, in the heat, children splash in their bowls), and the park, which, although it resembles wild thickets in places, is generally focused on children (attractions there exclusively for the guys).
Enterprises and work in Lyubertsy
It is more difficult for adults in Lyubertsy, because they need to work somewhere. Working in the city is hard. Once the city grew up near the giant enterprises built on this territory, such as the Plant named after. Ukhtomsky, the Torgmash plant or the Kamov Helicopter Plant, which is located next to the Natashinsky park. But now the old machines of the economy have come or are declining.
The Ukhtomsky plant stopped its work back in the 90s. of the last century, now on its territory there are offices of private companies, and most of the buildings are in an abandoned and decaying state.
The demolition of the buildings of the Torgmash plant began in March 2013, and a large shopping center is going to be built in its place.
The Kamov Helicopter Plant is still operating. It is now called OJSC Kamov, and there is no trace of past performance records, the territory is in ruin, the last new model of the helicopter was produced by the plant in the 90s. Although vacancies from this plant appear on the labor market from time to time, there are very few of them in comparison with other similar Russian enterprises. The residents of Lyuberk will learn that the plant is still working by the deafening sound of the rotation of the blades, bursting the air that spreads quite often over Natashinsky Park.
Information is periodically received that the plant as an enterprise is going to be relocated somewhere, and the local territory to be cleared for building high-rise housing.
And, apparently, these are not just rumors, because it is known that the workers of the plant went on strike against being evicted with their families from the houses allocated by the plant.
Nowadays, enterprises that have just risen in the 90s of the last century, such as NPK "Perfect Mechanics" on Krasnaya Street, have come to the fore in the city. The company is engaged in the production of aluminum structures, designs and manufactures all kinds of objects with their use: winter gardens, translucent facades, all kinds of stained-glass windows, etc., mainly engaged in glazing of buildings. At the moment, "Perfect Mechanics" is flourishing, the products of this enterprise are in demand throughout the Moscow region, and in 2005 the company received the "Russian National Olympus" award in the category "Outstanding Small and Medium Business Enterprises". In a prosperous company there is no shortage of workers, and it will not be easy for a person to get a job there, as they say, “from the street”.
Another large enterprise that is now flourishing in the city of Lyubertsy is Selkhozmash LLC. This plant is a kind of continuer of the traditions of the production of the Plant im. Ukhtomsky, he also produces agricultural machinery, mainly specializing in snow plows. This relatively young progressive enterprise was founded in 2003; it occupies one of the buildings of the former plant at the intersection of Oktyabrsky Prospekt with Krasnaya Street.
This enterprise always requires working hands, because it is young and actively developing, the volume of orders is growing, and therefore the number of required personnel is increasing.
An example of reliability, proven over the centuries, is the Lyubertsy plant "Montazhavtomatika" on Kotelnicheskaya Street, which, having existed since 1939 and going through different periods, at the moment remains a functioning and prosperous enterprise.
The plant designs and manufactures automated control systems for electrical structures. At this enterprise, the demand for specialists and good working hands is great. If you have a special education at the plant, you can consistently receive a high salary.
In the neighboring town of Kotelniki, which has recently become a city, there are a couple of large enterprises formed and built by Lyubertsy. For example, the Lyubertsy Carpets Association and Lyuberetskiy Kombinat of Building Materials and Structures LLC - both enterprises are now flourishing and have a wide range of products and orders not only local and in Moscow, but throughout Russia. It was thanks to these enterprises that the working settlement of Kotelniki grew and received the status of a city.
However, the most widespread and profitable business in Lyubertsy is trade, wholesale and retail. The city is dotted with shops, trade factories, centers and markets, large (five pieces) and small ones, which are also called "weekend fair". In this city, even in the smallest store, you can buy everything you need for everyday life. Even in a very small tent in the picture below, in which there is nowhere to stand in a queue, you can buy a birthday cake, and cat food, and hygiene products. Many of these shops are open around the clock. And judging by the fact that there is no staff turnover, people are satisfied with their work and salary. However, sellers have a hard time in their workplaces, judging by how carelessly they sometimes meet buyers.

Which, in general, is not surprising if you look at what contingent comes to these stores in the late afternoon. However, this is already another story ...
Criminal environment
What can you say about the city, about which the townspeople themselves make pictures with the inscription "The law ends where the Lyubertsy begins"?
Once, in the now distant 80s, Lyubertsy became a source of youth movement, adherents of which actively pumped their muscles on Soviet simulators, in order to then fight against "harmful" Western trends, embodied in the face of fans of foreign and domestic music who wear long hair ...
Later, this youth grew up and created in the 90s a rather powerful Lyubertsy organized criminal group, which later broke up into several smaller groups that still exist with varying success.
On account of these organized crime groups there are many crimes committed not only in Lyubertsy, but also in other districts of Moscow and the Moscow region (which is worth the murder of the Larins family in the village of Verkhneye Myachkovo, Ramensky district in 1997). There is information that at one time these bandits divided Moscow into spheres of influence with other organized crime groups. The members of the Lyubertsy group are engaged in everything that one can profit from: theft, robbery, drug trafficking, fraud, etc.
For example, in 2004-2007, the group's accomplices seized the apartments of Lyubertsy residents, soldering lonely residents, and then faking a suicide or an accident. The crime became known only after the attackers shot one of their victims.
After that, the gang changed the scope of their activities. In 2008, by order of a competitor, the head of one of the large Lyubertsy companies was shot in a country house in the village of Tokarevo.
In 2009, members of this group were detained, and the investigation into this case was completed only in 2012.
In Lyubertsy, there is a non-governmental association "Law and Order", created by a retired police officer Popov back in the 90s, which offers its services to protect various companies, enterprises and offices from criminal acts. It thrives and is in demand to this day. And since there is a demand for such services, it means that the reason for this demand is obviously there.
The media try not to spread about the actions of the organized crime group in Lyubertsy, distracting the attention of people with other, less criminal stories.

Here, in such an unremarkable house, an unremarkable man on April 2 of this year, apparently, not being himself, threw his wife and five-year-old son out of the window, and then jumped after. Fell on his wife, so he survived, but was beaten in the remand prison during a fight. The wife died in intensive care. Doctors are fighting for the boy's life. The event is tragic, it is difficult to call it a crime, while it evokes a lot of emotions in people, therefore information about it is actively replicated and illustrated by a variety of photographic material, in contrast to information about the actions of organized crime groups, which in the news is not always even dare to name.
In general, an ordinary person with an average income in Lyubertsy costs as much to fear for his well-being as in any other city, local residents believe. The newly built high-rise neighborhoods are especially relatively safe, in contrast to the old districts. At night, of course, it is better not to go out on the street once again, because it is quite possible to meet violent drunken companies or loners and just fall under the hot hand. The rest of the day in the city you can live and walk quite freely without fear.
Attractions Lyubertsy
There are many interesting places where you can walk in Lyubertsy. If the weather is good and you are in the mood to walk down the street, you can head to the Lyubertsy Park of Culture and Leisure, which stretches from Oktyabrsky Prospekt to Smirnovskaya Street. This is a pretty picturesque place at any time of the year.

Here you can find both an interesting park setting and a purely natural, as if untouched landscape. There are attractions and a mini zoo for children in the park. Paintball enthusiasts can use one of the locations presented to play. Art lovers can admire the sculptures put up in the park in 2008, which was declared the "Year of the Family". Everyone here will find a place and entertainment to their liking.
Those wishing to go boating and feed the ducks are better off going to the Natashinsky Park in the northern part of the city, where the Natashinsky ponds are located.
This park has been a favorite walking place for local residents for almost a century. In 2013, the ponds were cleaned and the park was tidied up. The equestrian club and the Iskra sports complex are located nearby. A great place for a relaxing or active holiday. Despite all the advantages of the Natashinsky park, the residents of Lyuberk have been struggling for several years with attempts by city planners to take this territory for residential high-rise buildings. Until now, we have defended and hope that in the future the park will continue to delight people with green foliage and coolness of Natasha's ponds.
For local historians, lovers of antiquity and believers in Lyubertsy, there is also something to visit. The city has many amazingly beautiful small churches, picturesquely surrounded by trees and a garden. Such is, for example, the Natasha Church, which stands not far from the park and ponds of the same name.
The church was built in 1913, its other names are Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Church. Natashinskaya (as well as the park with ponds), it was named by the Skalsky merchant, who once owned the local area, in honor of his daughter.
For those who prefer a fun vacation with friends, just want to relax, go to the cinema, have a tasty snack and go shopping, the path lies in large shopping centers such as "Traffic Light", "Orbit", "Merry Planet", and also cinemas and cafes: "Kinomax-October", cafe "Gorod", restaurant "IL Patio". The residents of Lyuberk themselves advise to visit the Valerie and Russian Bear cafes located in the Park of Culture and Leisure.
In general, typical places of entertainment in Lyubertsy do not differ from those in Moscow and other cities. The assortment is approximately the same, cinema, shops and food are of the same kind. Unless the level of originality is pleasantly pleasing: in one shopping center you can find something that is not in another shopping center, and not in the third, and in the fourth. While in the same Moscow, for example, all shopping centers tire with a motley monotony. For example, in "Svetofor" there is a billiard club, and even a night bar, which is unusual for a shopping center. The Oktyabr Cinema Center also has its own billiard club.
Billiard club in the cinema center "October"
Those who love night discos and music until the morning will love the Tropicana club on Lev Tolstoy Street and the GreenClub on Krasnogorskaya Street. In the first, it is good to celebrate some special days, such as a birthday, graduation, or throw an unusual party. And the second one is suitable for simply having a noisy evening in the company of friends with a cocktail, to the groovy music combined with disco light effects.
Separately, it should be said about the Lyubertsy Palace of Culture, which is located next to the Central Park of Culture and Leisure.

It can be said to be the focus of the city's cultural life. DK organizes holidays, festivals, parades, both city and private celebrations. In addition, there are circles in the building - free and paid - for children and adults, upon completion of some courses (for example, sewing and sewing) a certificate is issued. Free creative associations, such as "Inspiration" and the theater club "Courage", were formed under the roof of the Palace of Culture, which welcomes both adults and children. Creative people of different orientations will find something to their liking here.
The special pride of the city of Lyubertsy is the Triumph mirror sports palace, built in 2005 near the Park of Culture and Leisure.

The sports complex was created according to the standards of modern technologies, and, among other things, the urban landscape amazes with its brilliant monumentality. At the same time, "Triumph" can accommodate 3500 spectators. The main sporting events in the city are of course held here.
In general, Lyubertsy is now going through a completely new stage of development associated with the extension of the Moscow Metro lines and the expansion of the borders of Moscow itself. Progress is taking place by leaps and bounds. Probably, the present period of progress is comparable in capacity only to the period when, in the 60s, residential high-rise buildings had just begun to be built in Lyubertsy, thereby creating new districts, such as block 115.
Only now this progress brings not only prosperity to the city, as it was at that time, but on the contrary: Lyubertsy risk turning from a city, through mass development of affordable and comfortable housing, into a huge residential area on the outskirts of Moscow.
Although the city is young, it still has its own history and its own spirit, which the residents of Lyuberk strive so diligently to preserve. It remains to be hoped that the current rapid progress will still not result in only one destruction for the small, but in its own way special city of Lyubertsy.
I found some interesting material on the net. Who thinks about this.
.....
By the way, a similar program was developed in Lyubertsy under the previous administration of the district in the late 90s. They were going to introduce it in stages, and they planned to start with the creation of collection points for secondary raw materials. It was intended to open them in the area 28. They were finally going to re-cultivate the Lyubertsy fields of filtration and aeration.
- How did these fields of filtration and aeration come about?
- According to historical data, human waste has been brought here since the 19th century, when Moscow still ended somewhere in the Taganka region. There they gradually settled down, lost moisture, odors and gradually became like soil.
Naturally, more than a hundred years ago, no one knew that all these wastes accumulate salts of heavy metals, and with a certain wind rose, people breathe this muck. Over the years, the contents of the fields were filtered through the soil and even got into the groundwater.
- At the end of the 90s in Lyubertsy a new program of housing construction and demolition of dilapidated housing was developed. The program had to be approved at the level of the Moscow region. And then the question arose about the houses on Gogol Street, as well as about the school, which were located in the security zone of the filtration and aeration fields! What are the restrictions on the remoteness of waste disposal facilities from residential areas?
- As far as I know, the school, which was built back in Soviet times, is really located 500 meters from the extreme map, and after all, the protected zone of the aeration fields is two kilometers! This is probably why the government of the Moscow region, at the suggestion of the district administration, at the end of the 90s decided to remove the border of these fields from the city's development zone, taking into account its future development.
- But how to remove it?
- It was necessary to take out the sewage sludge to distant maps, and fill the released maps with soil (a similar plan was implemented in the filtration and aeration fields in Maryino, where a beautiful residential area has now grown). But there was no money for this at that time. And then the regional government decided to reclaim the fields in Nekrasovka with inert material.
The project was developed, the regional structures carried out an examination, approved and issued a permit to carry out work on the reclamation of aeration fields. And the administration of the Lyubertsy district thus solved the problem of returning the degraded land to the economic use of the district. And this was the surest solution to the problem at that time.

Back to catch up.
Let us consider, using the example of the Kosino-Ukhtomsky district, how construction is carried out on the territories designated for “state needs”.
In addition to emissions of harmful substances from Moscow and the Lyubertsy industrial zone, the built waste incineration plant pollutes the area from the northeast. This object belongs to the second, after nuclear power plants, hazard class, as it emits ash with a high content of dioxins into the atmosphere - the most dangerous known poisons that cause cancer and gene mutations. There is also a plant for the disposal of biological waste (carcasses of domestic animals), the capacity of which is expected to be increased to 25 thousand tons this year. The situation is aggravated by the largest landfill located a few kilometers from the district and functioning for decades, to which more than 1 million tons of waste are disposed annually, and the nearby Lyubertsy fields of sewage filtration.

It is easier to get to Lyubertsy from the center of Moscow than to some sleeping areas. Thirty minutes by train leaving the Kazan station, and just outside the southeastern outskirts of the capital begins a city with an unusual affectionate name.
Despite its small area (a little more than 12 square kilometers), Lyubertsy is one of the most significant cities in the Moscow region, an important industrial site and the administrative center of the Lyubertsy region. The town is home to about 230 thousand people, more than 25 industrial enterprises are concentrated in it, including several factories of federal significance.
Ecological situation
Initially, the attractiveness of Lyubertsy was determined by two factors - nature and proximity to the capital. In the 19th century, a railway line ran through the village, thanks to which Liberians turned into a popular holiday village. Soon industrial enterprises began to be created here, workers and specialists walked along the streets. The settlement grew and over time, in 1925, acquired the status of a city.
Lyubertsy consists of several microdistricts, which differ in the number of storeys of buildings, the width of the avenues, and the luxury of shop windows.However, their mutual proximity to each other does not allow them to be differentiated by the level of environmental safety.
The proximity to Moscow served Lyubertsy not only a good service. The lands of the nearby suburb were often used by the capital's industrial enterprises and the housing and communal industry as storage and storage sites, as well as for burial, discharge of waste soils and drainage. That's what it is .
The ecological situation in the city districts
The reason is geography. The Moskva River, meandering, crosses the capital in a southeast direction: just in the direction of Lyubertsy. On the territories adjacent to the town, there are treatment facilities of a multimillion-dollar megalopolis. Despite the highly efficient treatment systems created, the discharges of this enterprise have a significant impact on the ecology of the entire adjacent area. The incinerators of the metropolitan municipality are also located here.
The natural environment of the city is influenced not only by Lyubertsy enterprises, but also by factories located in adjacent towns and villages. Moreover, until recently, the difficulty consisted not only in eliminating the causes of the harmful technogenic impact, but even in identifying them.
Air condition
An example is the history of the state of the air environment. For a long period, Lyubertsy people suffer from specific odors, the source of which is clearly hydrogen sulfide compounds. At first, only residents of Lyubertsy felt a specific aroma - neither local authorities, nor supervisory authorities noted any anomalies.
Over time, when complaints from Muscovites were added to the protests of the local population, the town administration entered into an agreement with the Hydrometeorological Center to conduct studies of the composition of the atmospheric air. Systematic observations made it possible to establish cases of 25-fold excess of the MPC of hydrogen sulfide in the air.
At the next stage, difficulties arose with the establishment of an object polluting the atmosphere. There were several potential culprits.
Industrial enterprises of the city
The Moscow oil refinery, which is located no more than two kilometers away, in the village of Tomilino. The production capacity of this company, owned by Gazpromneft, exceeds 12 million tons of oil products per year. According to preliminary data, the plant is modernizing treatment structures without stopping the main production, which is more than thirty production complexes. As a result, according to Rosnadzorpriroda, unauthorized emissions of hydrogen sulfides into the atmosphere are possible. 
- Lyubertsy treatment facilities belonging to Mosvodokanal. Rivers in this region of Russia flow from north to south. The Moskva River, which meanders, crosses the capital in a southeast direction, just in the direction of Lyubertsy, is no exception. On the territories adjacent to the town, there are treatment facilities of a multimillion-dollar megalopolis. In terms of capacity, this enterprise has no analogues in Europe - it processes 3 million cubic meters of biologically active waste daily. Despite the highly efficient treatment systems created, the discharges of this enterprise have a significant impact on the ecology of the entire adjacent area.
- The waste incineration plant is the most powerful in the Moscow region and Russia. It processes 700 tons of solid waste per day.
- Enterprise "Ecolog", which specializes in the disposal of medical biological waste and animal remains.
- Kuskovsky chemical plant, which was located in one of the metropolitan areas. In connection with the liquidation of production and the re-profiling of sites, the management of the enterprise chose the Lyubertsy environs for the unauthorized dumping of poisoned soils. The landfill has been identified as unauthorized.
The trial and the case have been dragging on for several years. Each of the potential participants denies his guilt, local authorities and environmental organizations are taking active steps, which, however, do not have a positive effect on the creation of environmentally friendly Lyubertsy. Other city enterprises, in the opinion of city residents and the administration, do not have a significant man-made effect.
The city's industry left over from the Soviet period is mainly high-tech factories associated with agricultural and transport engineering, research institutes. Today, the city continues to operate enterprises for the production of helicopters, communications and automation.
Along with them, companies appeared that were engaged in the production of municipal equipment, aluminum structures, and commercial equipment. There are woodworking, building parts, carpet weaving objects in the city. A large share is occupied by shopping centers, supermarkets and shops.
The activities of all these enterprises could be qualified as environmentally friendly, if not for their logistics operationsRoad transport is a significant factor affecting the environment.
How the traffic situation in the city affects the environment
The city has organized a systematic collection of data on the impact of car emissions on the atmosphere. For 
monitoring were selected 5 points in areas of active car traffic and 72 playgrounds. During 2014, 430 and 760 measurements were made at the monitoring points, respectively. The presence in the air of such substances was investigated: sulfur dioxide, nitrogen and carbon oxides, formaldehydes, lead, total hydrocarbons.
The concentration limits were exceeded in 7.7% of cases for areas affected by vehicles and in 1.5% - at playgrounds.
Water resources
Starting from the Lyubertsy treatment facilities, the dirtiest part of the Moscow River begins... According to the monitoring data, after the Lyubertsy structures, the river water is replenished with a large dose of organic matter. And although the most modern equipment is installed at the VOC, its capacity is not enough for the complete cleaning of the sewage system; the enterprise systematically dumps waste containing organic matter into the river.
Other rivers and rivulets of the Lyubertsy region are in a relatively clean state. Pekhorka, Malashka flow through picturesque meadows and woodlands. On their way, there are many places where you can have a great rest on a weekend.
Drinking water in Lyubertsy is artesian and well. More than ten water intake sites have been organized in the city by the local water utility. Having started its activity with the development of an artesian spring, this organization now fully provides water. In terms of chemical composition, biological purity, drinking water meets the most stringent requirements. At a certain stage of consumption, an increased iron content was recorded in it, however, the involvement of additional artesian wells in operation made it possible to normalize the situation.
Status of green areas
The city of Lyubertsy is located in the taiga natural and climatic zone. Remnants of former thickets and newly created parks and forests surround both new buildings and old houses. The new highways in Lyubertsy are separated from the sidewalks by lawns and green spaces. Plant protection zones have been created between roads and residential buildings.
The city has many squares and parks, cozy recreation areas and playgrounds. Lyubertsy occupies a high place in the ranking of Russian cities in terms of greenery..

Radiation city background
The radiation background in Lyubertsy is not higher than the average for Moscow and the Moscow region.
Measures to improve the ecological situation in the region
The city administration organizes control and preventive measures aimed at improving the environmental situation in the city within the limits of its authority. This can include carrying out various environmental monitoring, timely notification of government and business entities about actions that are unacceptable in the use of natural resources, as well as organizing the work of municipal services in the city.
Since 2014, the city has had an environmental program adopted by the municipal authorities. Her term is 2015 - 2019
