Field notes
The account says Belyayevo entered Moscow in 1960 and was built over about a decade later; its name persisted as administrative boundaries changed. The gallery pairs an 1818 map with views of surviving orchard traces, metro architecture, and the intersection associated with the 1974 bulldozer exhibition. Image captions name contributors and include public-domain or Creative Commons credits on several items.
