Malaya Sadovaya Street ((ロシア語:Малая Садовая Улица)) is a pedestrian street of cafes, terraces, and fountains〔 in the heart of St. Petersburg. It runs between Italyanskaya Street (Italian Street) and the Nevsky Prospect. At about , it is St. Petersburg's shortest street.〔 〕〔 〕 The street's Nevsky Prospect terminus is at Catherine Square, which features the monument to Catherine the Great by the sculptors Mikhail Mikeshin and Matthew Chizhov and the architects Victor Schröter and David Grimm. At the Italyanskaya Street terminus is Manege Square, where there is a view of the portico of the great stables designed by Vincenzo Brenna and Karl Rossi. ==Naming history== In the 18th Century, Ivan Shuvalov owned land at the corner of what is now Malaya Sadovaya Street and Italyanskaya Street, thus giving the street its first name, Shuvalov Lane. At the same time a different backstreet also called Shuvalov and a street called Novym Pereulkom (New Lane) existed in the area. The name Malaya Sadovaya (Little Garden) Street is first mentioned in 1836. On April 16, 1887, the street was renamed to Catherine Street in honor of Catherine the Great. It kept this name until the revolution. In September 1918, a number of streets and squares in Petersburg were renamed, and Catherine Street was renamed Proletkulta Street, after the cultural, educational, and literary organization Proletarian Culture which at the time was housed on the street, at #2. But after World War II, most of these streets were returned to their historical names, and on June 28, 1948, Proletkulta Street again became Malaya Sadovaya Street. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malaya Sadovaya Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
