History of Prospekt Pobedy — from Lukovskaya Street to the Main Artery

Prospekt Pobedy in Astrakhan is one of those streets whose history reflects the transformation of an entire district. Before 1920, this area was divided into two parts — Lukovskaya and Poperechno-Lukovskaya, whose names derived from the Lukovka River. In late 1920, the street was renamed in honor of the Reds' victory in the Civil War, and also to commemorate the Red Army's victorious battle at Volochayevka Heights during the liberation of the Far East. Since then, Prospekt Pobedy has become one of the key arteries of the Kirovsky district, running from south to north from the Troitsky Bridge across the Varvatsievsky Canal to Vokzalnaya Square through the historic districts of Beliy Gorod and the Settlement in the central part of the city.

What Is Located on Prospekt Pobedy — Circus, Monument, and Architectural Heritage

Prospekt Pobedy is famous for its landmarks. One of the main ones is the Astrakhan State Circus at 30 Pobedy Street. The history of the Astrakhan circus dates back to the early 19th century, and the first covered circus appeared in the city in 1885. The building with a massive dark dome and glass facade is exactly that — an adornment of the square and a regional cultural institution beloved by Astrakhan residents.

On May 8, 2015, to mark the 70th anniversary of Victory, the grand opening of the "Zhuravli" monument — a stele in memory of Astrakhan residents who fell during the Great Patriotic War and local conflicts took place on Pobedy Street. The author of the monument is People's Artist of Azerbaijan, honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Professor Natik Aliyev, the architect is Astrakhan architect Alexander Fedorchenko. In Victory Square, there is also a composition called "The Star," which is a symbolic tribute to the heroism of the defenders of the Motherland.

At the intersection with Admiralteyskaya Street stands an architectural monument — a residential building with shops (revenue houses of P.M. Dogadin and his heirs), registration number of the site: 3000190000. And the Museum of the History of Astrakhan, part of the Astrakhan State United Historical-Architectural Museum-Reserve founded in 1837, occupies the premises of the former Ulyanov House-Museum and is considered one of the oldest regional museums in Russia.
