Taganka is the southeastern part of the center of Moscow. The name
Taganka came from Tagannaya Sloboda, where tagans were made - stands for
boilers in the form of an iron tripod. The word "tagan", apparently, is
of Turkic origin and was brought to Moscow by the Tatars, who settled
not only in Zamoskvorechie, but also in Zayauzie: if only beyond some
river. To the southeast of the masters of the taganka business, masons
were located, who brought the names Big and Small Stonemasons to Moscow
toponymy - these streets are located behind the Garden Ring, starting
from Taganskaya Square.
Tagans turned out to be nicer to the
Moscow ear than masons or, for example, matting (Rogozhskaya Sloboda was
located to the northeast, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe modern Ilyich
Square), so the whole Zayauzye gradually began to be called Taganka -
apparently, the one that operated until 1950 played a significant role
in this. x years. Taganka prison, to which the famous thieves song
"Taganka" is dedicated.
If the northern border of Taganka runs
along the Yauza, and the western border along the Moscow River, then the
southern one is blurred. In this guide, Taganka covers the entire
territory up to the Third Ring, that is, the Tagansky district of the
Central District, part of the Danilovsky District of the Southern
District and part of the Yuzhnoportovy District of the South-Eastern
District.

The word "tagan" is practically not used now, it has almost
disappeared from the Russian language (in contrast to diminutive caress.
Taganok, which remains common). But the memory of this word is kept in
the names of Taganskaya Square and Taganskaya Street. Craftsmen who made
tagans lived in the Taganskaya Sloboda. Tagans were called stands for
cauldrons in the form of an iron tripod with a circle at the top, on
which iron cauldrons were placed for cooking food and under which a fire
was made (the most common interpretation), or a kind of frying pan. The
word "Taganka" comes from the Tatar steppes - Turkism. In ancient times,
there was a Tatar settlement in Zamoskvorechye, since the Tatars settled
mostly near those ends of Moscow, from which they entered from their
Horde. After the destruction of the dominion of the Tatars and their
acceptance of Russian citizenship, they settled down and settled along
adjacent and distant streets, giving them their own names: Ordynka
(horde, rabble), Balchug (beam; that is, a ravine, gully), Taganka.
The name of the area came from Tagannaya Sloboda, located within the
Zemlyanoy Gorod, in the area of modern Upper and Lower Radishevsky
streets. Blacksmiths, residents of the settlement, made tagans - tripods
for boilers used by Moscow troops. The center of the settlement is the
Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on Bolvanovka (Verkhnyaya
Radishchevskaya St., 20). Teterinskaya, Goncharnaya, Boiler settlements
were located in the neighborhood.
In the 18th century, the name
Taganka spread to the settlements of masons outside Zemlyanoy Gorod (see
Bolshie Kamenshchiki Street); The Upper and Lower Taganskaya Squares
(now united into one Taganskaya Square) became large shopping centers.
In 1804, the Taganskaya prison was built on Malye Kamenshchiki Street
(it was demolished in the 1950s).
In the center of the district, on Taganskaya Square, there are the
Taganskaya and Marxistskaya metro stations, in the southeast, the
Proletarskaya metro station of the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya line
(with a transfer to the Krestyanskaya Zastava station of the
Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line), as well as station "Ploshchad Ilyicha" of
the Kalininskaya-Solntsevskaya line and "Rimskaya" of the
Lyublinsko-Dmitrovskaya line. Not far from the latter is the Hammer and
Sickle platform.
