Lyalovo (Russian: Лья́лово) is a rural locality (a village) under the administrative jurisdiction of Mendeleyevo Work Settlement in Solnechnogorsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia. It is located on high left bank of the Klyazma River about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) from its source, 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) from Mendeleyevo, and about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) from Zelenograd.
The name "Lyalovo" supposedly originates from an Old Slavonic or a Uralic word lyalo (льяло), which means a body of a boat upturned, or a shape similar to such body. The hill on which the village is located resembles this shape.
Lyalovo is believed to be one of the most ancient populated places in Moscow Oblast. Several settlements were discovered near this village, with the oldest of them dating back as far as four thousand years.
Morozovka country estate, currently transformed into a VIP rest home, is located in Lyalovo. This country estate has been in the hands of many well known Russian owners. In the 1800s, it was owned by the Romodanovsky and Princes Beloselsky-Belozersky. (Prince Esper Alexandrovich Belosselsky-Belozersky is buried in the church at Lyalovo having succumbed to typhoid fever in 1846, which was epidemic during that year. He contracted the fever while inspecting the newly built Petersburg-Moscow railroad, for which he was the chief of police). Before the Russian Revolution, the estate belonged to the famous family of Morozovs—one of the richest Russian merchant families.
