Intersection of Semashko and Vera Voloshina Streets in Mytishchi — Live Webcam

The intersection of Semashko and Vera Voloshina Streets is one of those junctions in Mytishchi where the city's history rises through the asphalt. Here, on the border of the Perlovka and Tayninka microdistricts, what meet are not just roads, but entire epochs — from the dacha settlements of the early 20th century to a modern city in Moscow Oblast. The live webcam shows this intersection in real time — the living fabric of urban life, where locals rush to work past the Razumikhin business center, and white-stone temples of Tayninskoye are visible in the distance.

History of the intersection: from the village of Tayninskoye to modern Mytishchi

Even a hundred years ago, rural roads ran through what is now this intersection. Vera Voloshina Street is one of the oldest streets in Mytishchi, starting at the Perlovskaya railway station and leading toward the village of Tayninskoye. Before the revolution, Moscow merchants' dachas stood here, and the area itself was known as Perlovka — a picturesque settlement on the high bank of the Yauza River.

In 1932, Perlovka and Tayninka were officially incorporated into Mytishchi, but for a long time local residents still regarded them as separate settlements. Perlovka and Tayninka were incorporated into Mytishchi in 1932, but until the war they were not perceived by the population as part of the city. Only in the postwar years did the microdistricts finally merge into a single urban development, and the intersection of Semashko and Voloshina became one of the key transport hubs in the southwestern part of Mytishchi.

Names on the city map: who Voloshina and Semashko were

Both streets forming the intersection bear the names of people who left their mark on the country's history. In 1963, 2nd Vokzalnaya Street was renamed after Vera Voloshina — a Hero of Russia, friend of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, executed on November 29, 1941. Before the war, Vera Voloshina studied at the Moscow Institute of Cooperation, and in 1941 she joined a partisan detachment. Her name was given to the street that starts at the station and leads to places where the dachas of Moscow's intelligentsia once stood.

Semashko Street was named in honor of Nikolai Semashko — the first People's Commissar of Health, who had a dacha in Perlovka (a two-story white house with a terrace decorated with wooden carvings). The irony of history: the man who created the country's healthcare system chose this quiet settlement on the banks of the Yauza for his rest. Today, at 2 Semashko Street is located the Federal Scientific Center of Hygiene named after F.F. Erisman — the successor to the sanitary station established back at Moscow University.

What is at the intersection today

The modern intersection is where residential development meets business activity. At the intersection of Vera Voloshina and Semashko Streets stands building 9/24 — a multi-story residential building (replacing the former private house 9). Nearby, at 12 Vera Voloshina Street, the Razumikhin business center has risen — a modern office building that has become one of the landmarks of this area of Mytishchi.

Before the revolution, the dacha of merchant Ageyev was located on Semashko Street, and in the 1920s–1930s there was a kindergarten of the Moscow Machine-Building Plant (MMZ). Today, nothing remains of that development — the intersection is completely built up with high-rises, but it has preserved the layout laid down in the first half of the 20th century. The camera in real time shows cars driving through this intersection, hurrying toward the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) or toward the center of Mytishchi.

Perlovka district: a historical microdistrict on the border of Moscow

Perlovka is not just a microdistrict of Mytishchi, but a whole chapter in the history of Moscow Oblast's dacha settlements. Since the 19th century, Moscow's intelligentsia settled here: doctors, teachers, engineers. The high bank of the Yauza River, pine forests, and proximity to the capital made Perlovka an ideal place for country living.

Today, Perlovka is dense residential development, but it has preserved the layout of the former dacha streets. Vera Voloshina Street, once the 2nd Vokzalnaya, still starts at the station and leads to Tayninskoye. At the end of the street, on the high bank of the Yauza River, stands the majestic white-stone five-domed church near the village of Tayninskoye — one of the architectural landmarks of this area.

The intersection of Semashko and Voloshina is in the very heart of Perlovka. From here, it's a short walk to the Perlovskaya platform, the banks of the Yauza River, and the border with Moscow. The live camera shows this intersection as a place where the past and present of Mytishchi meet.

The camera operates around the clock, showing the real life of this area of Mytishchi without staging or scenery.

If you look closely, you can make out the silhouettes of the Tayninskoye churches in the distance — they are visible at the end of Vera Voloshina Street if you look toward the Yauza River. This is the only intersection in Mytishchi with a view of the historical development of the village standing on the high river bank.
