In Moscow's Central Administrative District, between Prechistenskaya Embankment and Znamenka Street, there is one of the oldest streets in the city – VolkhonkaStreet. Its history is exciting. During the 14th century, over 600 years ago the street connected the Kremlin with the village of Semchinskoye. However, up until 1658, the actual name of the street was "Chertolskaya". This is because it ended at the border of the city in the Chertolyearea. The street was popular among merchants, craftsmen and government officials. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century, royal servants, officials as well as nobles built their houses along that street. During the reign of Aleksey Mikhailovich in the 17th century, the street changed its name to Prechistenskaya. However, local people preferred to call it just Prechistenka. In the 17th century, the noble Prozorovsky, Sheremetev, and Yushkov families moved into houses along Prechistenka. In the 18th century, Catherine the Great lived in a wooden palace near the street. Towards the end of the 18tn century, the street got its new name; it became Volkhonka Street. There are many landmarks in this 620-metre-long street. Near Prechistenskye Vorota Square, stands the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. You can also find many important museums and galleries in VolkhonkaStreet. There's the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts. There's also the MoscowState Art Gallery of People's Artist of the USSR by Ilya Glazunov. All this makes Volkhonka Street one of the most famous streets in Russia.
