Moskovskaya Street
Moskovskaya Street (Moscow Street) is a major thoroughfare found in numerous cities across Russia and former Soviet republics, often serving as a central artery. Historically, many were named or renamed during the Soviet era to honor the capital, Moscow, reflecting its political and symbolic importance. Today, these streets are typically vibrant commercial and transport hubs, lined with shops, businesses, and residential buildings.
