Premier of the Soviet Union
Novo-Ogaryovo was constructed in the first half of the 1950s on the foundation of a 19th-century villa, at the behest of Georgy Malenkov, using his architect daughter's design. Construction work was under way when Malenkov was removed from his position of Premier of the Soviet Union in 1955, and the place was then used as a "gosdacha", a "state "dacha"", or vacation retreat for housing guests, for receptions, and as a workplace for various government committees.
