Kantemirovskaya Street (Saint Petersburg)
Kantemirovskaya street (Kantemirovskaya ulitsa, Russian: Кантемировская улица) is a motor road of regional significance in Sampsonievskoye municipal okrug in Vyborgskiy district and partly in Primorskiy district of Saint Petersburg, Russia. It became rather important for the city's north and east and busy with traffic after its 1980s reconstruction and completion of Kantemirovsky bridge as a transit link between Vyborg Side (Vyborgskiy, Kalininskiy and Primorskiy districts) and Petrograd Side. The street got its current name in honour of the 1942 Soviet victory in the battle of Kantemirovka town in Voronezh Oblast province in southern Russia.
A street of the same name is in Moscow. Both streets got their names in the Soviet times in connection with a Red Army victory in 1942 during the World War II against Nazi Germany troops in the battle for the railway station of Kantemirovka in Voronezh Oblast province, with the street in then Leningrad named Kantemirovskaya in 1952. The Saint Petersburg street had its preceding history under a different name as Flugov pereulok since early 19 century, while its Moscow namesake exists since 1965 and is named not after the town (railway station) itself, but after the Soviet Army unit that liberated the settlement and was for that inducted into Guards and in 1946 got its honorific Kantemirovskaya - in full, 4th Guards Kantemirovskaya of the Order of Lenin and Red Banner Tank Division.
The street in Leningrad, in its turn, lent its name to Kantemirovskiy bridge at its southwest tip connecting the area with more central Petrograd Side of the city. The Moscow street gave its name to its existing neighbourhood metro station, while in Saint Petersburg, given its much slower pace of underground railroad system construction than in Moscow, there have been mostly long-term plans to build its Ring Line that would have its own Kantemirovskaya station near the eponymous street and bridge. It was planned as the only station of the line without interchange to other lines.
On 1 June 1981 the street was renamed ulitsa Kosygina ("Kosygin Street") in memory of the country's (USSR) prime minister Alexey N. Kosygin who had died a year before and whose early stages of career included work at a textile mill in the neighborhood. But the change in the street name was not welcomed by local residents, and the following year, on 25 October 1982, the street, on popular demand, was returned its name Kantemirovskaya, while Kosygin's name was given to a large avenue in a newly built-up residential area in a different, Krasnogvardeysky, district of the city, in the Porokhoviye area of the former gunpowder mills.
Before 1953 the street had the name Flugov pereulok ("Flug's Lane") after the late 18 - early 19 century industrialist of German origin Heinrich Gabriel Pflug (Russified: Gavrila Ivanovich Flug, Гаврила Иванович Флюг, also other spellings were in contemporary sources, 1745-1833) who owned a local landmark, the cordage factory near the embankment. Pflug's matrilineal great greatgrandson was the renowned Russian painter Ilya Glazunov, whose career started in mid-XX century. The businessman's family was friends with their contemporary artist renowned for his portrait and genre painting Pavel Fedotov and acted and sat for some of his works.
The street is one of the oldest in this area on the former remote outskirts of the city. The name Flygovsky Lane has existed since the 1830s and initially referred to the section from Vyborgskaya Embankment to Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospect. The road from Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospect to Pargolovskaya Street from 1850s until 5 March 1871 was called at first the Great Murinskaya Road or Murinskaya Street, then simply Murinskaya Street (there have been other streets named for the estate / village of Murino (now town) located to the northeast of the city).
On 5 March 1871 both of these sections were named Flyugovsky Lane. At the end of the 19th century, another section was added to the street - up to the current Kharchenko Street (formerly Antonovsky Lane after a local landowner); the name was changed to Flyugov Lane.
Located in an outlying industrial area of the city built up with factories and housing for their workers, the street as such has preserved out of its pre-Soviet industrial buildings just a former cotton mill of a merchant of German descent von Hueck (Russified as Гук Guk) and then a British Russian merchant Joseph Cheshire, later merged into a joint stock company with Saint Petersburg factories of two other entrepreneurs - Russian lvan Voronin and German Jacob Lutsch, nationalised after the Bolshevik Revolution and renamed Kransniy mayak (Rus. Красный маяк "Red Lighthouse") - and its workers' living house. After the textile factory failed in post-Soviet time, its manufacturing buildings were refurbished to house a part of Saint Petersburg campus of a post-1991 Russian university Higher School of Economics.
