The village of Vozdvijenskoe, located on a high hill, dominates the valley of the river Pakhra. His story is linked to the names of Pierre I and Princess Sophie, his power obsessed sister.In 1682, during the first streltsy rebellion, the princess left Moscow for the monastery of La Trinité-Saint-Serge, bringing together her two brothers. She invited the leaders of the revolt, Princes princes and Sons, on the pretext of negotiation. In fact, she stopped them on the way by her soldiers. They were executed in Vozdvijenskoïé, which ended the revolt.In 1689, the streltsy révoltèrent again, but this time at the own initiative of Sophie, which meant chasing his half brother Pierre from the throne. Peter, who had fled to the monastery with his supporters, succeeded in resisting and Sophie decided to go to the monastery to negotiate.Irony of history or just return of things, it was this time that was arrested in Vozdvijenskoïé. Peter returned her to Moscow and sealed it in the convent Novodevitchi. In the area of monuments, Vozdvijenskoïé has a th century church in Empire style, the church of the Elévation-de-la-Croix (Krestovozdvijenskaïa).
