Lenin Avenue. The very first and at first the only street in Yekaterinburg, was laid through the dam. The main street of Yekaterinburg in the XVIII century was called Bolshaya, Pershpektivnaya, Main Pershpektivnaya, since 1845 the name Main Avenue was established for it. In 1919, the Avenue was renamed Lenin street.
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.
My Favourite Composer When I have a free time, I often listen to music of different genres. Classical music is the best when I want to relax. My favourite composer is Antonio Vivaldi. I love his series of violin concerts known as “The Four Seasons”. Vivaldi was born on March 4th 1678, in Venice. His father, Giovanni Battista, taught him to play the violin at the very young age. After Vivaldi learned how to play the violin, they toured Venice together playing music for people. By the age of 24 Antonio had a good music knowledge. He then started teaching it and soon he presented his first performance for the French Embassy. At the same time he started conducting the orchestra and staging concerts. His music then was full of drama. His violin-based works were marked by virtuosity. The complete collection of these works was published only in the 20th century. Vivaldi is a great composer!
