Lefortovo District (Russian: райо́н Лефо́ртово, IPA: [lʲɪˈfortəvə] ⓘ) is a district of South-Eastern Administrative Okrug of the federal city of Moscow, Russia. Its area is 9.15 square kilometres (3.53 sq mi).[1] Population: 91,176 (2010 Russian census);[3] 87,560 (2002 Census).[4]
History
The Lefortovo District commemorates the name of a close associate of Tsar Peter the Great (r. 1682–1725), François Lefort (1656-1699), whose troops were stationed nearby at the German Quarter. Lefortovo is considered[by whom?] to have been founded in 1699. In the 18th century it was home to Annenhof, Lefortovo Palace [ru], Sloboda Palace, and the Catherine Palace. In later centuries, the district hosted troops and military organizations, and also became heavily industrialized.
The present-day Lefortovo has a reputation for the Lefortovo Prison, Lefortovo Park and the Lefortovo Tunnel on the Third Ring. Several higher-educational institutions are located in Lefortovo, such as the Moscow Power Engineering Institute as well as the Burdenko Main Military Clinical Hospital.
