        • The place was originally called Oltufyevo — supposedly after the surname of its first owners, the Oltufyev nobles; the "A" in the name appeared in the 19th century.
        • The estate's owner Nikita Akinfov was married to a relative of Tsarina Evdokia Lopukhina and was forced to become a monk after her disgrace in 1699.
        • The main house got its present look in 1851 under Nikolay Zherebtsov: the facades are finished in the Russian style with kokoshniks and jug-shaped columns, and the Zherebtsov coat of arms is on the pediment.
        • In 1888 the oil industrialist Georgy Lianozov bought the estate and soon sold the land for a dacha village — this is how Lianozovo appeared.
        • In the early 20th century the owner Tatyana Unkovskaya ran a guesthouse here, where guests played lawn tennis and croquet and went boating.
        • During the 1993–1995 reconstruction the church grew 2.5 times; it is in this form that it is depicted on the coat of arms of the Lianozovo district.
        • Altufyevo, 8 km from the capital, became part of Moscow in 1960.

        • The mansion was built by the industrialist Stepan Lianozov in 1903; according to legend, the house was meant for his beloved.
        • An English-style park was laid out around the house, with statues in imitation of ancient Greek sculpture.
        • In 1986 there were plans to open a restaurant in the mansion, but the idea was dropped because of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign.
        • By 1990 the house was in disrepair and was about to be demolished; admirers of Vasiliev saved and repaired the mansion with private donations.
        • The museum opened in 1998 on the initiative of the Konstantin Vasiliev Painting Lovers' Club.
        • In 2009 the mansion was set on fire during a dispute over the paintings: the third floor and part of the roof burned; the exhibition reopened in 2012.
        • It is the only surviving dacha of the Lianozovo village: private houses were demolished in the 1970s to make way for high-rise districts.

        • In 2023 the platforms were moved 350 m north to connect them with the new metro station.
