        • The embankment used to be called Khamovnicheskaya; it most likely received Frunze's name in 1936.
        • The roadway along the river appeared after the iron Krymsky Bridge was built in 1872, and until the 1930s the buildings were single-storey.
        • The banks were faced with granite in 1936–1937.
        • Building no. 22 is the General Staff of the Ground Forces, built in 1938–1951 with the participation of Lev Rudnev.
        • Lazar Kaganovich lived at no. 50, and the actors Georgy Burkov (no. 32) and Pyotr Glebov (nos. 38–44) lived in other buildings on the embankment.

        • The bridge was built in 1938 to a design by architect Alexander Vlasov and engineer Boris Konstantinov.
        • The name is linked to the Crimean Ford and the courtyard where envoys from the Crimean Khanate stayed in the 16th–17th centuries.
        • Its predecessor was an iron bridge of 1873 with truss walls and pseudo-Gothic turrets at the approaches.
        • In 1936 the old bridge was moved 50 m downstream, and trams ran over it while the new one was built alongside.
        • A tram ran across Krymsky Bridge until 1957.
