The Promenade of Youth Workers

One of the oldest streets of Yekaterinburg, located along the right bank of the City Pond of Yekaterinburg in the residential areas "Central" and "Vizovsky" (partially, to the north-west and west of Chelyuskintsev Street) of the Upper Iset administrative district of the city.

Until 1919, the modern embankment consisted of three parts. On the site from Main Avenue (Lenin Avenue) to Bolshaya Seezha Street (Anton Valek Street) was the Gymnasic Embankment on the site from Bolshaya Seezha to North Street (Chelyuskintsev Street) was Timofeevskaya embankment from North Street (right bank beginning of Kryvtsovsky Bridge across Iset) along the shore until the river turns north. After the Zakutilovsky bridge, the embankment was not built up and had no name. In the 1920s, the Red Roof settlement appeared in its place.

On the former Gymnasic embankment there are two remarkable buildings designed by the architect M.P. Malakhov: the house of the merchant I.G. Pshenichnikov (also known as the house of the Main Forestry of the Urals, erroneously) and the House of the Chief Mining Officer (in the first there are representative offices of cultural societies, in the second there is a regional hospital). The building of the male gymnasium also began to be designed by M.P. Malakhov, but in connection with his death was completed by architect K.G. Tursky. At the beginning of the twentieth century, in addition to the gymnasium itself, the Anchor Insurance Company, the St. Petersburg Banking House I. V. Juncker and K., a branch of the Yaroslavl-Kostrom Zemsky Bank were located. The building of Timofeevskaya embankment has been almost completely demolished (at the same time, a historical monument – the house in which the Soviet writer Arkady Gaidar lived – was partially lost).
