      • Sokol was Moscow's first cooperative residential village, founded in 1923.
      • The village was built on the "garden city" idea of the Briton Ebenezer Howard.
      • By the only documented version, the name is left over from a plan to build the village in Sokolniki.
      • The houses were designed by Nikolai Markovnikov, the Vesnin brothers and others; by the early 1930s 114 houses had been built.
      • A cottage cost a shareholder 6,000 rubles, paid off over several years.
      • Since 1979 the village has been protected as an urban-planning monument, and since 1989 it has been self-governing.
