Walk around Moscow: Moscow Center - Myasnitskaya Street Ep. 83
Walk around Moscow: Moscow Center - Myasnitskaya Street
The history of the street has been known since 1482, when Ivan III settled the families of Novgorod boyars and merchants in Moscow and the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was erected outside the Nikolsky Gate of Kitay-Gorod, which is on the Bor (it was better known as Grebnevskaya — after the name of the Icon of the Mother of God). But it got its name later; earlier its initial part was called Evplovka — after the church of Archdeacon Evpla, while the other part was called Frolovka — after the church of Saints Frol and Laurus[1]. Both of these located in the area of Temple Street were demolished in the 1930s. Already in the XVI century, the street was built up with shops and houses of butchers, and their settlement was called the Butcher’s fifty. At the end of the XVII — beginning of the XVIII centuries, the meat trade was forced out to the Earthen Rampart, and then the auction itself was destroyed, but the name Myasnitskaya remained behind the street.
Under Peter I, Myasnitskaya became the road between the Kremlin and the German Settlement, along which the tsar constantly traveled. Nobles and a new aristocracy began to settle on the street; Prince Menshikov acquired a large property. On the plan of Moscow in 1767, several houses are shown as stone, while the main part of the street was built of wood; behind the houses there were vegetable gardens and gardens with ponds[2].
Dvoryanskaya Street remained in the first half of the XIX century; later the nobles were replaced mainly by merchants and manufacturers. During the fire of 1812, all the wooden houses on the street burned down. In 1813, by the decision of the Commission on the Construction of Moscow, the street was expanded to 25 meters and new stone houses were erected on the new red line[2].
In the 1870s, a horse-drawn tram was allowed along the street, at the beginning of the XX century it was replaced by a tram [3]. Myasnitskaya was one of the first to receive street lighting: gas lighting in the 1870s, and electric lighting in the 1890s[4]
In 1918, Myasnitskaya was renamed Pervomayskaya Street, but Muscovites did not accept the name, and the street continued to be named and listed in official documents in the old way.
Vigilantes of the sanitary detachment [source not specified 1642 days] on the streets of Moscow, Kirov Street (now Myasnitskaya Street), November 20, 1941.
On December 14, 1935, by a resolution of the Moscow City Council, the street was renamed Kirov Street in memory of a prominent figure of the Communist Party, Sergei Mironovich Kirov, on the grounds that the body of the murdered Kirov was transported along Myasnitskaya Street for burial on Red Square.
In 1990, the historical name was returned to the street.
