🚶 Taras Shevchenko Embankment

The embankment opposite Moscow City, with a wide promenade, piers and a view of the skyscrapers across the river.

The embankment received Taras Shevchenko's name in 1961, for the centenary of his death; it was extended to Kievskaya Street at the same time.
In 1964 a monument to Shevchenko was placed in the small park in front of the Hotel Ukraina.
The Hotel Ukraina is a Stalinist skyscraper of 1950–1957 by architects Arkady Mordvinov and Vyacheslav Oltarzhevsky.
Minister Nikolai Baibakov and actor Valentin Gaft lived in the Oil Workers' House (no. 1/2, 1938–1953).
