 Andronikov Monastery in Moscow, Russia
The Andronikov Monastery, located in the Taganka region of the city just a metro stop away from the Novospassky Monastery, was built in 1360 on the steep eastern bank of the Yauza River as part of Moscow's outer defensive ring of monastery-fortresses.
The monastery's present-day name, Spaso-Andronikov Monastyr, combines that of The Savior (Spas) with that of its first abbot (Andronik), who was entrusted with the running of the monastery when Alexei was summoned to the Crimea to treat the ailing favorite wife of the Khan of the Kypchak Horde at Sarai.
The monastery itself is encircled by white stone crenellated ramparts with stout lookout towers added at three corners, built in the 17th century to replace the earlier high earthen ramparts topped with wooden palisade and blockhouses.

 AITBS SUMMER SCHOOL - Abstracts, Isachenko
Today, the crucial and actual nature of the texts prepared at the Chudov Monastery scriptorium is doubtless.
The representatives of the Chudov school claimed that they were committed to Slav-Byzantine models and orienting themselves to the Byzantine Orthodox heritage in its traditional forms defined the style of their translations as "Ellino-slavonic" (Sobolevski 1903).
The foreword (authored by one of the venerable Epifani's disciples, and possibly to Chudov' s monk Evfimi, +1705) is important and actually takes into account the principles of one of the leading schools of the "latest patriarchs epoch", which left a brilliant trace in the Russian culture.
