Izmaylovsky Park

Izmaylovsky Park

Izmaylovsky Park or Izmaylovo Park is one of the largest parks (urban forests) in Moscow, Russia, situated in the Izmaylovo District of the city. The park was unaugurated in 1930; it was known as "Stalin Park" in 1930s-1950s. Izmailovskaya station of the Moscow Metro serves the park.

In November 1995, terrorists from Chechnya planted, but did not detonate, a RDD in Izmailovo Park. [http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/PressReleases/2002/prn0209.shtml] The bomb consisted of dynamite and caesium-137 removed from cancer treatment equipment. Reporters were tipped off about its location and it was defused.

Izmaylovsky Park was also the name of the Partizanskaya station of the Moscow Metro before 2005.
