Kantemirovskaya Street (Saint Petersburg)

A {{ill|Kantemirovskaya street (Moscow) |lt=street of the same name |ru| Кантемировская улица (Москва)}} is in Moscow. Both streets got their names in the Soviet times in connection with a Red Army victory in 1942 during the World War II against Nazi Germany troops in the battle for the railway station of Kantemirovka in Voronezh Oblast province, with the street in then Leningrad named Kantemirovskaya in 1952.{{cite book |last1=Gorbachevich |first1=Kirill |last2= Khablo|first2=Yevgeniy |author-link1=:ru: Горбачевич, Кирилл Сергеевич | author-link2=:ru:Хабло, Евгений Петрович |date= 2002 |title=Pochemu tak nazvany?

The street in Leningrad, in its turn, lent its name to Kantemirovskiy bridge at its southwest tip connecting the area with more central Petrograd Side of the city. The Moscow street gave its name to its existing neighbourhood metro station, while in Saint Petersburg, given its much slower pace of underground railroad system construction than in Moscow, there have been mostly long-term {{ill|Plans for Saint Petersburg Metro development|lt=plans|ru|План развития Петербургского метрополитена}} to build its {{ill|Ring Line (Saint Petersburg Metro)|lt=Ring Line|ru|Кольцевая линия (Санкт-Петербург)}} that would have its own Kantemirovskaya station near the eponymous street and bridge. It was planned as the only station of the line without interchange to other lines.

Kosygin who had died a year before and whose early stages of career included work at a textile mill in the neighborhood. But the change in the street name was not welcomed by local residents, and the following year, on 25 October 1982, the street, on popular demand, was returned its name Kantemirovskaya, while Kosygin's name was given to a large avenue in a newly built-up residential area in a different, Krasnogvardeysky, district of the city, in the Porokhoviye area of the former gunpowder mills.

Before 1953 the street had the name Flugov pereulok ("Flug's Lane") after the late 18 - early 19 century industrialist of German origin [https://www.geni.com/people/%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%98%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87-%D0%A4%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B3/6000000019395865272 Heinrich Gabriel Pflug] (Russified: Gavrila Ivanovich Flug, Гаврила Иванович Флюг, also other spellings were in contemporary sources, 1745-1833{{Cite web|title=Heinrich Gabriel (Gavrila Ivanovich) Pflug|url=https://www.geni.com/people/Heinrich-Gabriel-Gavrila-Ivanovich-Pflug/6000000019395865272|access-date=2020-06-25|website=geni_family_tree|date=4 September 1745 |language=en-US}}) who owned a local landmark, the cordage factory near the embankment. Pflug's matrilineal great greatgrandson was the renowned Russian painter Ilya Glazunov, whose career started in mid-XX century. The businessman's family was friends with their contemporary artist renowned for his portrait and genre painting Pavel Fedotov and acted and sat for some of his works.

The street is one of the oldest in this area on the former remote outskirts of the city. The name Flygovsky Lane has existed since the 1830s and initially referred to the section from {{ill|Vyborgskaya Embankment|ru|Выборгская набережная}} to {{ill|Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospect|ru|Большой Сампсониевский проспект}}. The road from Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Prospect to {{Interlanguage link|Pargolovskaya Street (Saint Petersburg)|lt=Pargolovskaya Street|ru|Парголовская улица (Санкт-Петербург)|WD=}} from 1850s until 5 March 1871 was called at first the Great Murinskaya Road or Murinskaya Street, then simply Murinskaya Street (there have been other streets named for the estate / village of {{ill|Murino (Leningrad oblast)|lt=Murino| ru|Марино}} (now town) located to the northeast of the city).

On 5 March 1871 both of these sections were named Flyugovsky Lane. At the end of the 19th century, another section was added to the street - up to the current {{ill|Kharchenko Street|ru|Улица Харченко (Санкт-Петербург)}} (formerly Antonovsky Lane after a local landowner); the name was changed to Flyugov Lane.

As new and older factories already lemployed many people from around the city and district that had mass housing construction, in 1975 a new stretch of the city's rapid transit system's red Line One was added from the north with a station in the street. The station was named Lesnaya after the {{ill|Lesnoy (historical area, Saint Petersburg)|lt=neighborhood|ru|Лесной (исторический район)}} and a nearby avenue {{ill|Lesnoy Prospect|ru|Лесной проспект (Санкт-Петербург)}} that were named after the Forestry Academy the avenue leads to northwards from downtown. The academy, now a university has a large scenic park that has been a local attraction. Correspondingly, the station has green colour in its design.

Winning the Civil War in early 1920s, Communist authorities adopted plans for national development of the economics. As manufacturing facilities were returned to work, they needed staff, and the country was to provide for their relative well-being.

Since late 1920s the area around the street was given a new development, being filled with apartment houses and public facilities for workmen and professionals with families, and with technical students' dormitories.

Dormitories' street address was 65 Lesnoy prospect, but the two blocks run along Kantemirovskaya street from the then more important Lesnoy to present-day Kharchenko street. Now the institute, founded before the Russian Revolution and named in Soviet years after Mikhail Kalinin, the nominal head of state under Stalin, is officially titled Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The complex was added with a new tall building with modern amenities in early 21 century, and the university has two other residential complexes. The one in Lesnoy area was built in Constructivism style. The dormitories were supplied with such facilities as the canteen and club building that also housed an ice-cream parlour, a student theater, a small post office, a local policeman:s office. The club across the ground housed a cinema popular with the residents of the neighborhood and student leisure societies including student choir. There also were a mechanical laundry and bathhouse buildings, and across Pargolovskaya street there are a later added stadium and gym.

Memorial plaques have been mounted on the building in honour of Khlopin, Altman, Bonch-Bruevich, and in memory of the Siege of Leningrad a wall sign warning that this side of Lesnoy Prospect was the more dangerous one during the enemy artillery fire. In the 2nd half of 2010s less noticeable smaller memorial plaques were also mounted on the building to commemorate its residents who fell victim of Stalin's time purges.

In 1930s a long three-storey school building was erected at the eastern end of the street on the corner of Antonovskiy Lane, now Kharchenko Street. It was built to an individual project by Vladimir Munz in Constructivist style for a young cadets school.{{Cite web|title=История 104 школы Выборгского района Санкт-Петербурга|url=http://s104.ru/htm/school_history.html|access-date=2020-07-28|website=s104.ru|archive-date=2020-08-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807002705/http://s104.ru/htm/school_history.html|url-status=dead}} It features a large auditorium in its from semicircular part, two gyms at the back, and during the 2000s refurbishment its sports grounds were turned into a soccer and track and field stadium. After World War II school staff and students met veterans of Soviet guerilla units operating during the war in the then-larger city's region Leningrad Oblast, now in Pskov Oblast. Its rural area cut off from the besieged Leningrad by enemy German lines was controlled by the Soviet guerrilla troops and managed to collect and deliver to the starving city a food supply train of horse-drawn sleighs in the harsh winter of 1941-42. The school has its museum of these events and regional 2nd guerilla brigade. The school and the street were awarded the name of Mikhail Kharchenko, the Soviet officer in charge of the delivery operation guard.

It was a girls' school until the mid-1950s. It gives full elementary and secondary education.

They made communications equipment. In post-Soviet times some premises were renovated and became available for office rent.

In 1970s it was planned to connect several streets across the city into a chain thoroughfare to improve passenger and cargo transportation. Kantemirovskaya street was a part of this plan and as such had its road widened twofold, connected to its east with Marshal Blukher Avenue overland, while the western end of the street reaching {{ill|Vyborgskaya Embankment|ru|Выборгская набережная}} of the Bolshaya Nevka arm of the Neva delta was joined by a new bridge to Apothecary Island of the more central Petrograd Side, giving access over it to Vasilyevsky Island and the left bank of the Neva with the central district of the city. The bridge was named Kantemirovskiy after the street. It was built in 1979-82.{{Cite web|title=Кантемировский мост|url=https://krti.gov.spb.ru/mosty-sankt-peterburga/kantemirovskij-most/|access-date=2020-07-07|website=krti.gov.spb.ru|archive-date=2020-05-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200502153838/https://krti.gov.spb.ru/mosty-sankt-peterburga/kantemirovskij-most/|url-status=dead}}

{{blockquote| Previously, there was no bridge link here. The need to build a new bridge arose because of the construction of an internal transport highway in the city, which starts from Tsiolkovsky Street, runs along the northern side of the Obvodny Canal with access to Alexander Nevsky Bridge and then along Zanevsky Prospect to the bridge across the Okhta River in the alignment of Energetikov Avenue, then along Annikov Avenue to Kantemirovskaya Street, in the alignment of which Kantemirovsky Bridge is located, and then across Aptekarsky Island to the Petrograd Side to the area of Kamennoostrovsky Bridge.

The bridge connected the Vyborg Side to Petrograd Side, and the new version of trolleybus Route 46{{Cite web|title=История троллейбусного маршрута 46 в Санкт-Петербурге {{!}} Питертранспорт|url=https://pitertransport.com/maps/hist.php?id=181|access-date=2020-08-18|website=pitertransport.com|language=ru}} originally went over them to the Harbour at the western end of Vasilyevski Island, reaching eastwards the roundabout nearest to the bridge on the Vyborg Side - now Academician Klimov Square, while later the route was replaced with number 31{{Cite web|title=История троллейбусного маршрута 31 в Санкт-Петербурге {{!}} Питертранспорт|url=https://pitertransport.com/maps/hist.php?id=129|access-date=2020-08-18|website=pitertransport.com|language=ru}} that serves now, without covering Vasilyevski, a shorter western part as far as Sportivenaya metro station, but passed the whole length of Kantemirovskaya Street and turns northward to cover the southern part of Grazhdanskiy Prospect avenue to take to work downtown and back home people along its large Grazhdanka residential neighborhood. In post-Soviet years the streets took on themselves a considerably increased load of new private automobiles and several routes of buses.

Road widening required twofold elongation of the railroad bridge across it, and underground crossings were built on the crossroads nearest to the metro station.

In 1990s many state-owned factories were made joint-stock companies, some underwent job cuts and/or relocation. Several buildings in the western and central parts of the street were converted into rented office spaces.

To the east of the street two large city blocks of modern tall apartment buildings started to be built, changing its panorama. School 104 underwent reconstruction and was supplied with modern technology. To the east of it a large shopping mall Europolis was built on a part of the green area, the rest of which had been made into a public Polyustrovskiy Garden. On the other side of the street on the corner of Gribalyova Street appeared one of the latter street's two large furniture sales multibrand centers, Mebel City 2, behind which in the second decade of 21 century appeared a city block of new apartment buildings reaching as far as Novolitovskaya Street.
