The Bogoroditskoye Field is 24 kilometers to the north from Vyazma towards Khmelita, the estate of Griboyedov family. The most tragic events of the Great Patriotic War took place there in October 1941. The military formations of the Western Front and the Reserve Front - about a million people - were completely surrounded near Vyazma by German troops. It was the so-called Vyazma pocket.
