The Danilov Monastery purports to be the oldest in Moscow and was founded in 1282 by Prince Daniil Moskovsky, the youngest Son of Alexander Nevsky.
The monastery was home not only to monks, but the refuge of many laymen, including the writer Gogol, the musician Rubinshtein and the philosophers Samarin and Khomyakov, founders of the 19th century Slavophile movement, all of whom were buried in the monastery's cemetery.
After 1917 the monastery was one of the last to be closed down and became the refuge of many priests who had been evicted by the Bolsheviks from their own churches and who disagreed with the ethics of the new regime.

 Andronikov Monastery in Moscow, Russia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
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.

 Novospassky Monastery in Moscow, Russia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Situated in the southeastern Taganka region of Moscow, the Novospassky Monastery claims to be the oldest monastery in Moscow and is thought to have been founded in the 12th century during the reign of Prince Yury Dolgoruky, the founder of Moscow.
The monastery's original buildings were razed to the ground by the Tartars and most of the structures still standing today date from the 17th century, when thick fortress walls and bastions were built to protect the complex from further Tartar attacks during the Time of Troubles.
Also in the monastery complex visitors will see a large pond, near the western wall of the fortifications, which once supplied the resident monks with fish but whose banks were later used by the NKVD to bury foreign Communists secretly shot during the purges of the 1930s.

The founder of this monastery was Patriarch Nikon, one of those rare historical figures who, centuries after their death, continue to arouse heated debates.
Initially the monastery was to serve as the patriarch's country residence in Russian style.
Finally, in 1666 the Church Assembly was convened by Nikon's opponents, and he was stripped of the status of patriarch and exiled as an ordinary monk to the distant Monastery of St. Ferapont in the North.

Alexius appointed Nikon archimandrite, or prior, of the wealthy Novospassky monastery at Moscow, and in 1648 metropolitan of Great Novgorod.
Such a free use did he make of his vast power, that some Russian historians have suspected him of the design of establishing a particular national papacy ; and he himself certainly maintained that the spiritual was superior to the temporal power.
His sentence was deprivation of all his sacerdotal functions; henceforth he was to be known simply as the monk Nikon.

 Classical Net Review - Russian Chant for Vespers
While a few selections (such as 'The Angel Cried') portray the inconsolable grief upon the death of the savior, most celebrate the joyous news of the resurrection in exuberant and irresistibly festive tones.
The Novospassky choir produces a virile, smooth, and quite often haunting sound - especially the ink-fl basses and the expressive (though anonymous) soloists.
It's comforting to know that the great tradition of a cappella Russian choral singing was not lost under the iron-fisted rule of the brutal, atheistic commissars.
