On December 16, 1895, in Moscow, on the territory of the current Young Pioneers Stadium, the grand opening of the first organization in the country leading the development of skiing, the Moscow Ski Club (MKL), which became one of the first in Russia and one of the most famous before the revolution, took place. sports clubs. This official date is considered to be the birthday skiing in Russia.
In 1914, a factory and craft exhibition was held here, for which new pavilions were built. In 1916, it was planned to hold the All-Russian Exhibition, unprecedented in scope, but with the outbreak of the First World War, this grandiose project was naturally curtailed.
In 1901, the Skiing Society (OLLS) was founded.
Since 1902, individual championships of Moscow have been played, in which from 5 to 25 athletes took part. Team championship Moscow has been played since 1910. It was a relay race around Moscow. Well, since Moscow at that time was much smaller, the distance was 60-70 miles. In the same year, the first ski championship of Russia took place: 12 Muscovites, one from St. Petersburg and one from Nizhny Novgorod rolled 30 miles along the Khodynka field. Moscow firmly stood on skis: out of 28 participants in the last pre-revolutionary championship of the country, 25 were Muscovites.
On March 21 (March 8), 1909, the popular newspaper " Russian word” under the heading “Moscow news” published the following news:
The skiers.
The Society of Skiers received from the city for its club the Tsar's Pavilion on Khodynka Field for rent for 8 years. In addition to the pavilion, the city gives skiers for cheap rent half a dozen of land with the obligation to provide free skiing there to students of city schools.
From this moment begins the official sports history this part of the Khodynka field.
The Moscow team championship in 1916 became the largest pre-revolutionary ski competition: eight sports societies fielded about 100 skiers to participate in it.
Having received the land and the pavilion at its disposal, the MKL immediately began to equip the territory. A playground, a jumping sector, a throwing sector, the first and only three-hundred-meter cinder track in the whole of Moscow appeared (even at the games of the 2nd Russian Olympics in Riga, runners competed ... on the sandy path of the local hippodrome, pitted with hooves). In 1911, the first field in Moscow specially designed for playing football appeared here.
In March 1923, the MKL stadium complex became the property of the Russian Communist Youth Union (RKSM) of the Krasnopresnensky district of Moscow. But the Komsomol members did not get their hands on the stadium, it was never restored.
The spring of 1926 was marked by another reorganization sports movement in USSR. In mid-April 1926, the presidium of the ISFPC decided to dissolve those sports organizations, which were not built according to the production principle, the so-called district circles. These included Krasnaya Presnya, OPPV, Dynamo, TsDFK, Krasnye Sokolniki, Spartak, MOSNAV (former MGSFC) and some other clubs. All members of the district teams had to move to trade union circles, depending on their place of work. A special commission was created to implement this resolution. As you can see, the powerful law enforcement agencies - the OGPU and the Voenved - eventually retained their commands. It is possible that Krasnaya Presnya would have retained its independent status, but the innovative decisions of the MSFFC coincided with the appointment of the chairman of the Krasnopresnensky executive committee, Nikolai Pashintsev, as chairman of the Central Committee of the trade union of food workers. Pashintsev loved football and in his previous position he devoted a lot of time to the team. He also helped her in this difficult situation by organizing a transfer under the wing of the food workers' union. So Krasnaya Presnya changed its owner and name. From now on, the best team in Moscow began to be called "Pishcheviki", and in full - the Team of the Central Club named after Tomsky (MP Tomsky at that time served as chairman of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions).
At the same time (in 1926), the union of food workers received the ownerless stadium located in Petrovsky Park and the territory adjacent to it from the RKSM of the Krasnopresnensky district of Moscow. 
Grandiose in scale work began in April 1926. And by July new arena, the largest at that time in the USSR, was built, having received the name - the stadium named after the Tomsk Union of Food Workers (STSP).
Part sports complex when it was completed, included: 3 football fields(one main and two training), 2 athletics tracks, special areas for certain types athletics, 4 basketball courts, 4 volleyball courts, pushball court, croquet court, 4 tennis courts, 3 concrete playgrounds for playing gorodki, specially equipped places under a canopy for summer wrestling, boxing, weights, a bowling alley, a 200-meter shooting range, a 500-meter velodrome. But the main pride of the Tomsk Stadium (at that time the chairman of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions) of the Union of Food Workers - STSP - was central arena stadium - a football field measuring 85 by 115 meters, bordered by stands (only one stand was built at the time of opening). 13,000 spectators could watch football matches at the same time (later the stadium had stands for 8,000 people and an embankment where another 15,000 could sit), while Krasnaya Presnya, which was taken over by the Union of Textile Workers and Trekhgorka, could accommodate only 3,000. The Pishchevikov player Sergei Yegorov became the head of the stadium for many years.

Of the events that took place in the life of the Pishcheviki before the start of the 1929 championship, it is worth highlighting friendly match with KOR (2:0), held on May 12, 1929. It was carried out as part of a large sports festival dedicated to the opening of the reconstructed and modernized stadium. Tomsky.
In 1931, by decision of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, the unified trade union of food workers was liquidated. It broke up into two dozen small branch trade unions. Under the new conditions, Pishcheviki came under the wing of the All-Coprom Council (MSPC). From now on, the team became known as "Promkooperatsia". The reform also affected the staffing. To the team of the Dukat factory. She performed in the 2nd group and now she has at her disposal the stadium. Tomsky.
After classifying Mikhail Pavlovich Tomsky as an "oppositionist" in 1929, it was forbidden to mention his name, later the stadium was renamed the stadium "Young Pioneers" and from an adult it turned into a children's one.
The stadium almost immediately "got into history"! Ilya Ilf and Yevgeny Petrov in the manuscript and the first editions of the novel "The Twelve Chairs" contain the phrase: "The cyclists flew noiselessly from the Tomsk stadium, from the first big long-distance match", in later editions instead of the "Tomsk stadium" - "Young Pioneers Stadium".
In April 1929 Comrade. Tomsky together with t.t. Bukharin and Rykov were recognized as "right deviators"; M.P. Tomsky was removed from his post, and since then he has not played in big politics (and in 1936 he completely committed suicide). His name also disappeared from the name of the stadium of the Voluntary Sports Society "Pishchevik". And soon, in the early 1930s, within the framework of the policy "all the best for children" by the party and the government, it was decided to focus the complex on working with children and youth.
This is how the Young Pioneers Stadium (YuP) appeared on the map of the city of Moscow. Which already at the very moment of its birth had every right to be considered an object of cultural and historical heritage!

Social networks write about the demolition of two steles with mosaics on Leningradsky Prospekt. This is the last thing left of the Young Pioneers stadium, on the site of which a residential complex is being built. Moscow lost another monument, even if it did not have a protected status.
The stadium "Young Pioneers" is the first specialized out-of-school physical culture and sports institution in the USSR. It was built on the site of the Tomsky stadium, where they played football in post-revolutionary Moscow.
We lived in the Petrovsky Park area. The Dynamo stadium was not there yet (it will appear in 1928 - approx. "RG"). But there was a stadium named after Tomsky nearby. It is at this stadium that Spartak, one might say, began. We, boys, played football and bandy there, - Otto Fischer, the oldest 102-year-old red-and-white fan, said two years ago.
I remember the Starostin brothers well, Fischer recalled the founders of the Spartak movement. - And Andrei, and Alexander, and Nikolai. There was also Petya, but he is younger. Oleksandr played on the right side, Andrey - in the center of the attack... We were boys, they are older. But we still ran after them. We shout to them: "Uncle Kolya!" or "Uncle Sasha!". They used to pat us on the head...
Later, the stadium will be updated several times. In the 1960s they will build here athletics arena, will make two mosaic panels, and in 1980, during the Olympics, field hockey competitions will be held at the stadium. The winners will be the Indian men's team, and the best women's team will be the Zimbabwe team. Exotic! That was the first (and immediately golden) Olympic medal in the history of Zimbabwe. The next gold in this country will not happen until 2008, when Christy Coventry wins gold in swimming.
Now they are competing in the pace of construction. The high-rise building of the future residential complex is adjacent to the old fence, the project of which dates back to 1946. Now the fence is in a bad condition. It does not have the status of cultural heritage. As well as mosaic panels, one of which recently disappeared. Now in its place is a parking lot.
We are talking about a panel from the side of the 1st Botkinsky passage, cyclists, a girl with a skipping rope and runners were depicted here.
The stele from the side of Begovaya Street (it depicts a goalkeeper, field players and a girl with hoops) is still preserved - now it is closely adjacent to the covered pedestrian passage. As they say, the mosaic will be removed in the near future, the stele will be destroyed.
But the Dutchman Koolhaas, for example, when the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art was built on the site of a glass cafe in Gorky Park, left a mosaic of the 70s, it did not stop him, - says a member of the Moscow Union of Artists, a specialist in the field of monumental and decorative art by Marina Terekhovich.
According to her, last year the section of monumental and decorative art of the Moscow Union of Artists sent a letter to the departments of culture and cultural heritage of Moscow, as well as to deputies about the fate of the mosaics in Leningradka.
We never received an answer. And in our section, after all, there are about 600 artists, many of whom decorated Moscow with mosaics, - says Terekhovich.
The problem is that stelae with mosaics have no status. The status of the "Object with signs of cultural heritage" does not oblige the developer of the territory to anything.
I wrote to the prefecture of the Northern District, - says Terekhovich. - They told me that after the construction was completed, everything would be restored. But how can the author's work be restored?
The author of the mosaic that is still preserved is Martuni Potikyan. Marina Terekhovich says that so far neither he nor his descendants have been found. The second mosaic created by Elvira Zhernosek has recently been in a deplorable state.
There is no law for the preservation of such monuments, says Marina Terekhovich. - And when new owners buy land, as I understand it, no one tells them that this is a work of art. In Soviet times, such works were ordered by the city from the authors. Money was allocated for this. And now the owner does with it as he sees fit. Can you imagine if, for example, in Italy, the owners would buy land and break what they do not need? Tired of Michelangelo - demolished. Leonardo too. Well, what to do, because they interfere ...
The correspondent of "RG" turned to the press service of the department of cultural heritage of the city of Moscow. They noted that an official request should be made regarding the steles at the site of the former Young Pioneers stadium. But at the same time they added: "As far as we know, they are not objects of cultural heritage. In this case, we have nothing to comment on."
By the phone numbers indicated on the stand at the construction site, the correspondent of "RG" was told that it was necessary to contact another development company that was running this project. They clarified the situation with the missing mosaic.
The mosaic was carefully dismantled and taken out for storage indoors, - says Evgenia Starkova, marketing director of the development company. - In the future, it is planned to integrate both panels into the landscaping project, which is being developed by the architectural bureau Wowhaus. At the same time, the panels will become iconic objects on the territory of the residential complex. Before installation, the contaminated elements of the panel will be cleaned and restored. An organization licensed to carry out activities to preserve cultural heritage sites of the peoples of the Russian Federation will be involved in the installation of the panel.
Starkova also noted that in addition to the panels, parts of the metal fence will be restored.
How exactly the mosaic will be integrated into the improvement project is not reported. One way or another, now only the mosaic and part of the fence remind of the pioneer stadium on the site of which a complex called "Tsar's Square" is being built.
The Moscow authorities have finally cleared the territory where the Young Pioneers stadium, which has a half-century history, was located in the Soviet years. The last to be demolished were steles with mosaics - this is all that remains of the first out-of-school institution in the history of the USSR sports institution. Now a luxury residential complex is being built on this site.
On May 13, workers removed a mosaic by sculptor Elvira Zhernosek from the fence of the former Young Pioneers stadium on Leningradsky Prospekt. The dismantling of the panel was carried out as part of the construction work. Back in the 90s, a business center and a car dealership were built on Khodynskoye Pole. Now an elite residential complex is being built next door.
Local residents tried to protest against the construction, held rallies and wrote appeals to the authorities. Developers and local officials promised that they would build a sports and recreation complex on this territory, and the mosaic would be preserved and returned to its original place after the construction was completed. Muscovites do not believe in this promise and note that it is impossible to restore the author's work.
The stadium "Young Pioneers" was the first specialized sports out-of-school institution in the USSR. It was erected on the site of the Tomsky stadium, where football was played in post-revolutionary Moscow. Old-timers say that it was there that "the Moscow Spartak began." “We, boys, played football and bandy there,” said Otto Fischer, the oldest fan of the red-and-whites, who is now 102 years old.
In the 1960s the stadium was renovated. Under the Soviet regime, an athletics arena was built there and two mosaic panels were installed. At the 1980 Olympics, the stadium hosted field hockey competitions. Now a high-rise building is being built on this historic site, and instead of one mosaic panel with cyclists, runners and a girl with a jump rope, there is a parking lot. The second panel with football players by Martuni Potikyan should be demolished in the near future.
A member of the Moscow Union of Artists, a specialist in the field of monumental and decorative art, Marina Terekhovich, in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, said that the organization sent a letter to the departments of culture and cultural heritage of Moscow, as well as to deputies about mosaics, but there was no response from officials.
The problem is that there is no law for the preservation of such monuments, and when new owners buy land, they are not informed that this is a work of art. As a result, the owner acts with works of art at his own discretion.
The press service of the Department of Cultural Heritage of the City of Moscow said about the demolition of the mosaic that it is not an object of cultural heritage and "there is nothing to comment on."
The destruction of the mosaic of the stadium "Young Pioneers" caused indignation among the tired coach of Russia Tatyana Tarasova. She called those responsible for the demolition "cattle and pests."
Tatyana Tarasova called the Young Pioneers Stadium in Moscow a “place of worship” and a home for teachers and young athletes. “It was this place in Moscow that had to be destroyed? Creatures that have no memory, no respect for the history of their native city, respect for the glorious beginning of our Soviet and Russian Olympic movement! Why can't we save? Why do we know how to destroy? ”, - said the honored coach in an interview with the Sports.ru portal.
“We lived there, it was our home. These urban aliens are thinking of throwing away our lives and jobs. Kicked out the fans, smashed and destroyed children's stadium. Brainless cattle! Temporary workers! Bastards and pests of Moscow!” added Tatyana Tarasova.
