Akademik Petrovsky Street

Akademik Petrovsky Street originates from Leninsky Prospekt and ends with its adjoining Shabolovka Street. It has an intersection with Donskoy Street. Until 1917, this street was called Rizpolozhensky Lane, and since 1924 it was renamed Exhibition Lane. The street received its modern name in memory of the Soviet mathematician Ivan Georgievich Petrovsky. The name was officially adopted in 1973. Currently, there is no public transport on the street. From 1936 to 1957, trams were used.
