Malyshev Street. One of the oldest streets in Yekaterinburg. Previously, the street was called Pokrovsky Prospekt. In 1919, the street was renamed in honor of Ivan Malyshev, since it was here in the house number 46 in 1917 that the Yekaterinburg Committee of Bolsheviks was located, which immediately after leaving the underground was headed by I. M. Malyshev, who was killed by the white guards in 1918.
Kuibyshev Street. One of the largest and most important streets of old and modern Yekaterinburg. Previously, until 1935, the street was called Sibirsky Prospekt, but initially it was the road to Tobolsk, connecting the fortress-factory with the Tobolsk province. In 1763, the Tobolsk road became the Siberian highway, and the part of the highway passing through Yekaterinburg became known as Sibirsky Prospekt. In 1935, the Avenue was renamed Kuibyshev street in honor of the revolutionary, Soviet political and party figure who died in 1935.
Bolshakov Street. On the site of the current Bolshakov street once stretched a huge swamp, surrounded by dense forest. Only by the end of the last century there was a suburban street with a rare structure in the swamp, and became known as Bolotnaya. Since 1919, it began to bear the name of a Bolshevik worker-Stepan Bolshakov.
Yeltsin Street. Historically, it was formed in the 40s of the XVIII century. On the city plan of 1810, the street was designated as Single, and in 1845 it already appeared as Fetisovskaya and was a fully formed street consisting of two long blocks. In 1919, the street was renamed, being named in memory of the events of January 9, 1905 in St. Petersburg. In 2008, it was renamed in honor of the first President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin.
