'Novo-Ogaryovo' (), also ''Novo-Ogarevo'', is an estate in the Krylatskoye district of Moscow to the west of the city, by the Rublyovo-Uspenskoye Highway and an official residence of the president of Russia. It is remarkable as the location of a suburban official residence of the President of Russia, officially recognized as such in 2000.^[1]
The residence was constructed on the basis of a 19th century manor in the first half of the 1950s at the behest of Malenkov for his daughter^[2] Construction workes were under way when Malenkov was removed from his position (1955), and this place was used as a state estate for housing high-placed guests, for receptions and as a place of work of various governmental committees.
Novo-Ogaryovo has been often referred to as one of "gosdachas", since Soviet leaders viewed it as their vacation retreat. Since 1991 it was reserved as a governmental residence, mostly unused until it was renovated by Putin in early 2000s. A six-meter-high wall surrounds the presidential residence. During Putin's term in office, luxury dachas started to appear in the vicinity.
