History of street formation

Profsoyuznaya Street received its name in the Soviet era, like many urban streets of that period — Komsomolskaya, Partizanskaya, Pervomayskaya, and others. Kuznetskaya Street is named by professional attribute — these are transport-related streets, whose names are usually associated with city names or occupations. The intersection of these highways formed in the 1st microdistrict of the work settlement, which developed as a residential area with residential and public buildings, as well as an industrial zone.
