Categories / City Topography/Waterways and Currents/Canals

MASLOBUYANSKY CANAL (the Maslyany (Oil) Canal, the Maslyany Buyan Ditch) was constructed in the southeast Vasilievsky Island in the middle of the 18th century. It was named after the now non-existent Maslyany Buyan, a warehouse of oil products surrounded by a canal. The Maslobuyansky Canal was filled up in 1930s. Today, Maslyany Canal street is laid along the canal's route (between the 23rd Line of Vasilievsky Island and Kozhevennaya Street).
