Why Tarbeevo? And even with a spelling error (the correct spelling is Torbeevo). It's Likhachevo. It's now a microdistrict.

Why Tarbeevo? And with a mistake, too (the correct spelling is Torbeevo). It's Likhachevo. Now a microdistrict.
A Parmen 50, and because:
"The first documentary evidence of the Church of the Holy Great Martyr George dates back to the 16th century. According to the Cadastre Books of 7081 (1573), it is known that in the village of Gnilushi (Starbeevo or Tarbeevo), which at that time belonged to the okolnichy Prince Peter Ivanovich Tatev, there stood a small wooden church of "the Passion-Bearer George, with an icon, a book, and a bell on the bell tower."

We are talking here about the old wooden church located nearby, and the parish is named after this church.

Before the revolution, the village was called Starbeevo.
Address in 1917: Moscow Province, Moscow District, village Starbeevo
Modern address: Moscow Region, Dolgoprudny, Likhachevskoye Highway, 85A

Although, even in Soviet times, there was discussion of moving this church to another location (it now stands in a cemetery), and the village of Likhachevo was mentioned.
"According to Moscow City Executive Committee Order No. 2302r of December 16, 1976, the monument was supposed to be moved from its current location to the center of Dolgoprudny." The said order acknowledges the consent of the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR (letter dated June 11, 1976, No. 123-14) to relocate the church and clergy house from the village of Likhachevo to another site, for the purpose of establishing a city museum, restoring the buildings, and improving the surrounding area. The Main Directorate for the Protection, Restoration, and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the RSFSR, by letter dated February 6, 1987, No. 17/25/08, having reviewed the issue of relocating the church, stated the advisability of preserving it in its historical environment.

But in all the major catalog websites, this church is called exactly as I wrote it—the Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Tarbeyev, and the old wooden church is called the Church of St. George the Victorious in Tarbeyev.

Something like that ;)
And now, it's the city of Dolgoprudny.
