Biography of Saransk Street

Do not think that the whole valuable past was packed in boxes and carried to the museum. The events of old years are still around us. True, under the layer of concrete, absurd development and places in desolation. Armed with historical books, some of them, frankly, become a bibliographic rarity and data of the local history museum, we will tell you about the 12 most ancient streets of Saransk.

Formally, Bolshevik Street was formed at the very beginning of the 20th century, uniting several oldest streets of the city. In pre -revolutionary times, the plot from Samara Street of the current street of Kavkazskaya and to Pokrovsky Lane, the modern communist was called Ilyinskaya Street along the built male monastery. In the year, the monastery from Ilyinsky was renamed to Petropavlovsky, as a result, the street changed its name and already in the “Book of accounting of the inhabitants of the city of Saransk for the years” was recorded as Petropavlovskaya Street.

The plot from Pokrovsky Lane, it was communist and further to the northern outskirts was occupied by Schevenskaya Street, named after the Dukhoschevensky Church. With this name, this street is recorded in the already mentioned book of accounting for - years. After November 1, both streets renamed: Ilyinskaya to Lev Tolstoy Street, and the Schevenskaya Street to the Bolshevik. The streets were united and received the name of the Bolshevik.

Caucasian when it was founded: at the end of the 19th century, the names changed: Samara-Irotskaya-Caucasian one of the old streets of the city with the most mysterious history of the name. It can be assumed that there was one of the orphan trustees on the street. And on the plan of Saransk, this street is indicated by Samara. Documents were preserved that in the pre-revolutionary year the city Duma considered the issue of landslides in ravines already on Samara-Sirotskaya Street.

The October Revolution helped to get rid of confusion, but added to the history of mysteries. How is the former Samara-Irotskaya related to the Caucasus? Good question. Historians believe that this name is associated with the First Red Caucasian Division, which was in Saransk during the Civil War. The lane walked from the railway, not far from it was flooded with the Insar River.

The people called him a frog. The southern side of the lower part of the city was occupied by an area. In the summer-autumn period, fairs were held on it. That is, the area served its direct purpose, which prescribes the name to it. From November 1, the square and lanes were combined into the Republican street. The street was formed along the shore of a dashing ravine, and a Potashnik, a genus of shrub plants containing Potash in the ash, grew here.

Even in those ancient times, Potashny crossed about ten streets, for which she was also called a long order. In the year, a railway passed in the eastern part of the street.

After the revolution, Potachny street did not receive any party names, but suddenly turned into a medicine. It is believed that the name is given by analogy with the medicine in the city of Penza.

After it, the street named after V. Chkalov went up to the forest, which has been annexed to Polezhaev since August. After them, the Assumption Church appeared there, which, in the end, gave the name to the whole street. And then the usual scheme for Saransk: over time, several more streets received such a name. In order to differences to the name, the serial number was added.

But the future Red Army remained the 1st Assumption. In addition, by the name of the church, the entire low area of ​​Saransk was called the Assumption part.
