\n \n DOSTOEVSKOGO STREET, running from Kuznechny Lane to Sotsialisticheskaya Street. In 1739-99, the main part of the street was called Skatertnaya; the length extending from Svechnoy Lane to Ruzovskaya Street bore the name Semenovskaya Street (after the Semenovsky Life Guards Regiment). In the second half of the 18th century, it was called Grebetskaya Street; from 1871 to 1915, the street was known as Yamskaya, and in 1880 the section beyond Razyezzhaya Street became Novo-Yamskaya Street, named after the former settlement of coachmen (\"yamshchik\" in Russian) near Ligovsky Avenue. In 1915, the street was renamed Dostoevskogo Street after F.M. Dostoevsky, who lived in house No. 2/5 from 1878 to 1881 (presently the F.M. Dostoevsky Literary-Memorial Museum). The present buildings originate from the late 18th century - early 20th century, including house No. 28/24 (late 18th - early 19th centuries, rebuilt in 1840, architect K.W. Winkler), house No. 36 with its continuous balconies (1897, belonged to civil engineer G.V. Baranovsky), house No. 38 (1894, architect N.N. Nikonov's private house), house No. 40-44 is built in the brick style (formerly the Siegel Factory, 1888-93, architect I.S. Kitner, presently the Khronotron Factory), with bronze bear sculptures at the building entrance. Past residents of Dostoevskogo Street include V.I. Lenin (1893, house No. 4; in 1906-07 he frequented house No. 21); B.G. Metlitsky, a journalist and specialist in regional ethnography and history (house No. 4, until 1995); M.P. Mussorgsky (house No. 9, 1857-62); geographer L.O. Berg (house No. 29, the 1910s); and actress V.F. Komissarzhevskaya (house No. 34, 1898-1900).
