Russia / Moscow / Moscow
 district, invisible, third-level administrative division
Administrative district (raion) of Central Administrative Okrug, and one of the 125 raions of Moscow, Russia. Population: 123,284 (2010 Census).
The name of Presnya (noun; adjective: Presnensky) district is inherited from the Presnya River, now flowing largely in an underground pipe and entering the Moskva River immediately west of the White House of Russia. Ponds that were set up on Presnya River and its tributaries in the seventeenth century survive as Patriarshy Pond (one of three ponds formerly on the Bubna stream in the Goat Marsh area) and the Moscow Zoo ponds (on the Presnya River proper).
