Abstract

The article explores the Novodevichy Convent, a significant center in the religious, cultural, and political life of the Russian state. It aims to reveal the legendary character of the monastery and connect it with historical reality by examining urban legends and myths. The author has collected the legends presented in this article from various sources, including local history and popular science literature, mass media, the Internet, and personal interactions with Muscovites from 2008 to 2018. The legendary image and historical narrative of Moscow’s Novodevichy Convent are closely linked with Russia’s history. The primary themes of the legends encompass how the area’s name, where the monastery is situated, is interpreted, the monastery’s own naming conventions, narratives surrounding the monastery’s construction, as well as accounts of “miraculous” and “magical” events on its premises.
