The Feodorovsky gorodok (Russian: Феодоровский городок) is a village located near Tsarskoye Selo in Pushkin, Russia.[1][2]
History
[edit]While the Feodorovsky Cathedral was being completed around 1912, it was decided that a new little village in a pure Russian style - unlike many other imperial or related buildings that were usually designed by Italian architects - should have been created near it.
In summer 1913 the tsar Nicholas II approved the project signed by the architect Stepan Krichinsky, beginning immediately the construction. After his completion, the Feodorovsky Sovereign Cathedral became the house church for the tsar Nicholas II and his family.
The Feodorovsky gorodok hospital (1914 - 1917)
[edit]When the first World War broke out in August 1914 and the construction of the little village wasn't completed yet, the empress Alexandra thought to inaugurate into the complex an hospital for wounded soldiers. The empress herself and her two eldest daughters (Olga and Tatiana) became nurses after training on a Red cross nursing program. Until the abdication of the tsar in March 1917, the empress and all the four OTMA sisters (assisted even by her friend Anna Vyrubova and the female doctor Vera Gedroits) went there and worked daily to assist all the wounded soldiers and officials: the "Big Pair" (Olga and Tatiana) were involved directly into surgery operations (although Olga after a year gave up due to stress), while the "Little Pair" (Maria and Anastasia) entertained the military personnel with games and other funny things, being too young to assist directly her mother.

After the 1917 revolutions
[edit]Semi-destroyed by the revolutions, the restoration didn't begin until the late 1970s. In 1994, the complex of the Feodorovsky Gorodok was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church. In 2001 it was declared a Russian cultural heritage.
