Once the site of a manor belonging to a prominent Russian merchant named Trapeznikov, the region was nationalized by Soviet authorities after the Bolshevik Revolution. In the 1920s and 1930s the village was tasked with providing eggs, milk, meat, and vegetables for the Kremlin. Because of the sensitive role it played, Gorki-2 was kept under the personal control of Felix Dzerzhinsky himself. After World War II the village continued to provide the leaders of the Soviet state with food, including milk for Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.
