Olympic Village (Russian: Олимпийская деревня) is a residential microdistrict in the west of Moscow in the Troparevo-Nikulino area, built in 1977–1980 as part of a program to prepare for the XXII Summer Olympic Games for the accommodation of their participants. When designing it, a standard series of residential panel houses was used, and the construction of household buildings envisaged by the project made it possible to transfer the microdistrict to the city after the end of the Olympics. In addition, some of the buildings house cultural institutions.

Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia
Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia

The Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Russian: Военная академия Генерального штаба Вооруженных Сил Российской Федерации) is the senior staff college of the Russian Armed Forces. The academy is located in Moscow, on 14 Kholzunova Lane. It was founded in 1936 as a Soviet institution, based on higher command courses that had been established at the M. V. Frunze Military Academy, itself founded in 1918. An earlier General Staff Academy had existed during the Imperial period, since 1832. Students were, and probably still are, admitted to the Academy in the ranks of lieutenant colonel, colonel, and General-Major (one star). Most were colonels or newly promoted generals. Officers enter in their late 30s, as a general rule. Officers selected for this academy would have first attended the appropriate service or branch academy (see Military academies in Russia). Graduates who were not already generals or admirals usually were promoted to this rank a short time after completing the course. Length of the academy was only two years, in contrast to the three years for the branch and service academies. Faculty and students of the General Staff Academy were involved in debates over Soviet military restructuring in the last years of the USSR. They became associated with the military reform efforts of Major Vladimir Lopatin and made specific suggestions for deep force reductions.As of 22 November 2017, Colonel General Vladimir Zarudnitsky has been the chief of the academy.
