Prospekt Mira | Moskovsky Prospekt | The scientist's sculpture on Moskovsky Prospekt | Prospekt Mira (disambiguation) |
September 17 — In Voronezh on Prospekt of Revolution was unveiled a monument to Mitrofan Pyatnitsky (1864—1927), Russian Soviet musician, actor and collector of Russian folk songs, the founder and a first artistic director of the Pyatnitsky Choir.
Soon after the October Revolution, the avenue was named Prospekt Volodarskogo after the Russian revolutionary V. Volodarsky.
The original name of the prospekt was Tsarskoselskaya Doroga (Route to Tsarskoe Selo) since it leads to imperial estates in Tsarskoye Selo.
Fyodor Dostoevsky often employed the Nevksy Prospekt as a setting within his works, such as Crime and Punishment and The Double: A Petersburg Poem.
