🚶 Znamenka Street

A quiet old street from Borovitskaya Square to the Arbat Gate: mansions of the 18th–19th centuries and Defense Ministry buildings.

The name appeared in the late 16th century after the Church of the Sign of the Mother of God, demolished in 1931.
From 1925 to 1990 the street bore the name of Frunze, who worked here in the Revolutionary Military Council building; his monument stands in the small park by no. 12.
Znamenka is only 670 meters long.
Fyodor Dostoevsky lived at no. 9/12, building 2, in 1872–1873 and 1877.
The old General Staff building (no. 19) is based on Apraksin's palace of 1792 by Francesco Camporesi.
The facades of the Shamshin apartment building (no. 8/13, 1909) were drawn by Fyodor Shekhtel.
