      🚶 Raushskaya Embankment

      Раушская наб., от улицы Балчуг до Большого Устьинского моста

      A quiet Zamoskvorechye embankment opposite Zaryadye: across the river are the Floating Bridge, St Basil's and the Kremlin towers, and ahead, the skyscraper on Kotelnicheskaya.

      • The name comes from "rovushki", the ditches that drained water from the floodplain of Zamoskvorechye; they were filled in in 1835.
      • The embankment used to be called Zayaitskaya — either after the Church of St Nicholas in Zayaitskoye or after merchants "from beyond the Yaik".
      • In 1896 a power station was built here to a design by N. P. Basin; Ivan Zholtovsky later rebuilt it, and it still works today.
      • No. 2 is the Balchug hotel, before 1917 the Novo-Moskvoretskoye compound.
      • There are almost no apartment buildings on the embankment, so it is quiet in the evening even in the very centre.
