Lenin Avenue

Lenin Avenue is one of the main streets of Kharkiv. It originates in the Nagorny district from Freedom Square, then passes along Shatilovka and Zagospromya, ending with the intersection with Derevyanko Street on the border of the Lesopark. Construction of the street began in the 1930s. Initially, the avenue was called the Third Radial Street and was part of the architectural complex of Dzerzhinsky Square.

In May 1934, large-scale construction of residential cooperatives began on the street. At the same time, the first building of the House of Specialists began to be operated. In 1946, on the site of the dilapidated building of the Kharkiv Engineering and Construction Institute, the building of the current KNURE was erected. By the 1960s, universities, residential buildings and many research institutes of various directions were located on the street.

Currently, the main attractions of the prospectus include the Monument to the Warrior-Liberator, the Hotel "Mir", the Monument to the Cossack Kharko, Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, the House of Projects, Kharkiv National Medical University and the Sarzhin Yar Botanical Garden.
