🚶 Rozhdestvensky Boulevard

A boulevard that drops steeply to Trubnaya Square, with shady lindens and the Nativity Convent at the foot of the slope.

The name comes from the Nativity of the Virgin Convent, founded in 1386.
The boulevard, about 600 m long, was laid out in the 1820s; it descends steeply to Trubnaya Square.
In the house of the Fonvizin brothers (no. 12/8) it was decided in 1821 to dissolve the Union of Welfare, and in 1826 Decembrists were arrested there.
In the Rostopchina mansion (no. 14) in the 1840s writers gathered, among them Gogol and Fet.
A 1936 fire in a house on the boulevard formed the basis of Marshak's poem The Story of an Unknown Hero.
On 6 March 1953 a crush occurred on the boulevard and Trubnaya Square during the farewell to Stalin.
A tram ran along the boulevard from 1911 to 1971.
