Alexandra Lukyanov Street

The history of the street begins with the end of the XVIII century. It was then called Abushkin Lane. Once there lived merchant P.A. Babushkin, until the fire of 1812 did not destroy all buildings. Then the local landowner wanted to buy the land, but the authorities did not allow him to do so. The street is full of houses and mansions again. At that time, the merchant I.K. Prove settled there. He purchased several plots on which he built two mansions. One of them gave it to his wife. They still please the eyes of passers-by.

In Soviet times, the street was renamed. Its current name lane owes the hero of the Soviet Union A.M. Lukyanov.

Today, this urban area of Moscow is a protected area. Still, because here in one place collected dozens of historical objects. For example, the radio engineering institute, the estate of I.K. Prove, the mansion of A.F. Mindler, the house-estate of the Muravyovs-Apostolovs and many others.
