History

In the 19th century these territories were part of the landed estate owned by count Vorontsov-Dashkov, with the centre in Bykovo. In the last quarter of the 19th century N.I. Ilyin, who was a member of the management board of ‘JSC for the construction of the Moscow-Ryazan railroad’, bought the estate. After his death, his widow owned these lands until the revolution of 1917.

The construction of the railroad contributed to the rapid development of the whole Left bank of the Moscow river. Ilyins turned out very enterprising owners and started to sell and rent out large pieces of land for development to the Moscow elite at a high price. They also let build numerous villas themselves, subsequently leasing those to the Muscovites. Furthermore, they started a dairy farm to supply the summer residents with fresh milk and cultivated vegetables for the same purpose.

Later, the Board of the Moscow railroads purchased part of the land for their employees. The settlement grew gradually. Among pine forests, the local residents dug two ponds and built baths, they also started cutting alleys and streets in this forested area, built a power plant and other facilities. Bykovo village was developed the same way. The cottages (dachas) in Ilyinsky belonged to the merchants, directors of Moscow plants, in particular, the publisher I.D. Sytina, various artists. New residents usually bought large land plots, where they created gardens and built country houses with servants’ quarters.

In 1913 a church was built in Ilyinsky which then burned in the late 20-ies. In the summer of 1994 a stone with cross were placed at this place, which gave a kick-start to the restoration of the temple of Peter and Paul by the parishioners and sponsors. After the revolution, most of the large villas were nationalized. Some turned into orphanages and kindergartens; others were rented out as summer dachas or for permanent living.

According to the census conducted in 1926 the village of Ilyinsky had 225 homes and 1371 residents. There was a village council, which functioned actively in 30-ies, when 300 workers’ families of Ramensky textile factory ‘Red Banner’ (Krasnoe Znamya) were moved to Ilyinsky to improve their living conditions.

In 1975 the status of urban-type settlement was granted to Ilyinsky.

The museum ‘Scorched youth’ is located in school № 25. In 1941 on the first day of the Great Patriotic War all 25 students from the same 9 grade volunteered to the front. Only four of them got home alive. One of the survivors — Yuri Denitsky (literary pseudonym – Yuri Ilyinsky) wrote about his comrades a few books, including ‘Scorched youth’.
