LANSKOE FREEWAY (in 1830-1850s, known as Lanskoy Avenue and Road; in 1962-91, known as Smirnova Avenue), running between the Chernaya Rechka Embankment and Engelsa Avenue. It was named after the Lanskys, a family of landowners, whose extensive estate the avenue was constructed through. The second name was given after N.I. Smirnov (1906-62), Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Leningrad Soviet of Working People's Deputies. The avenue was built up in the 1950-70s (architects O.I. Guryev, N.M. Nazarin, V.M. Fromzel). In 1965, the Maxim Cinema Hall was constructed (architects V.F. Belov, O.V. Vasilyeva, L.I. Shimakova). Across the street, a residential area was developed in the early 2000s (building 12-16, architect M. Mamoshin). A building of the University of Culture and Art stands along the Lanskoe Freeway (building no. 9).
