History

The modern district was formed in 1997 by the merger of Remenki District and Mosfilmovsky District.[5] Russia's largest university, Moscow State University, is situated here, as are the All-Russian Academy of Foreign Trade and the film studio Mosfilm. It is also rumored to be the location of a large nuclear bunker.[6]
