History

edit

The name comes from the village located on this site, which in 1967 was incorporated into Minsk. The development of the area began in 1964. Consists of seven quarters: Čyžoŭka -1, Čyžoŭka -2, etc. (Čyžoŭka -7 is a private sector on Krasnaya Sloboda street.) Population - 62 thousand people. The Čyžoŭka cemetery is located outside the Minsk Ring Road.

Until the middle of the twentieth century on the site of modern Chizhovka was the village of the same name, collective farm fields and orchards. In 1951, the Chizhov Reservoir was established in Svislach to supply CHP-3 with water. On its high bank there was a settlement of a collective farm Zatishsha.

The design of the new neighborhood took place in the early 1960s, construction began in 1964 and lasted for almost ten years. According to the plans of the architects of the "Minsk State Project" - R. Artemchik, L. Arkhangelskaya, E. Zaslavskaya, A. Shelyakin - 6 "Chizhovaks" were built for 62,000 people. Between the 1st and 5th Chizhovki the old private building which has remained till now was left. In 1967, on the anniversary of the Belarusian capital, a park named after the 900th anniversary of Minsk was laid out along the Chizhovsky Reservoir. In 1969, a road bridge was built over the Svislach River, connecting Tashkentskaya and Kabushkina streets, and Chizhovka with Partyzansky Avenue. In the same year the first trolleybus with the 16th number went to the new district.

The public center of the district was located by architects between Tashkentskaya Street and Tashkentsky Proezd: it included the Druzhba cinema (1974), a public house, a polyclinic, a children's library (1982), and a market. The cinema was built according to a typical but very rarely used project of the Mezentsev Central Research Institute. In tandem with the cinema in the building there was a cafe and a dance hall. A rather original project of the library (architects Chadovich - Ladkin) received the All-Union Prize of the YMCA. The center remained unfinished - the planned "catering unit" was never built.

In the depths of Chizhovka-2 the children were greeted by the cafe "Cosmos" with fantastic interiors and even a light path, the squares of which lit up when they were stepped on.

In 1984, the zoo of the Minsk Automobile Plant, the future Minsk Zoo, appeared on the banks of the Svislach River.

Chizhovka's face has significantly changed the 2014 Ice Hockey World Championship. For its carrying out Chizhovka-Arena, hotel "Arena" have been constructed, doors of cafe "Traditions" and "Children's" have opened. Tashkentskaya Street and the bridge across the Svislach River were widened and illuminated. During the construction of the Chizhovka-Arena, the last houses of the village of Zatyshsha were demolished, the park of the 900th anniversary of Minsk was significantly thinned, paved, illuminated and decorated.

In early 2018, the buildings of the village of Korziuki were demolished, and multi-storey panel houses will be erected on the street of the same name.

Chizhovka consists of 7 districts Chizhovka 1.

Chizhovka 2 Chizhovka 3. In this area of Chizhovka the same principle of dilution of five-story buildings by high-rises was used. At the heart of one is a furniture store. In addition, a "house-wall" appeared along Golodzeda Street from its intersection with Tashkentskaya. Chizhovka 4 Chizhovka 5 Chizhovka 6. In 2010, the first rental house in Minsk appeared here. Chizhovka 7 Chizhovka cannot boast of a special originality of the building. More than half of the housing stock are typical panel and brick five-story buildings, placed in their mass "columns" one after another - the so-called "row building", popular in the 1960s. However, despite the small range of designs and details, the architects of the district managed to create an ensemble along the main streets of Chizhov.
