Pobediteley Avenue (Belarus: Praspekt Peramozhtsaў) is an avenue in the capital of the Republic of Belarus, Minsk, one of the main highways of the city. Connects the historical center with the prestigious northwestern part of the city.
The length of the avenue is about 9 kilometers. The prospectus is located on the right bank of the winding Svisloch River; in some sections the river and its reservoirs are within direct visibility from the prospectus. Most of the buildings are built on the odd side. Parallel to the avenue, 1-2 km to the southwest of it, runs the Minsk-Molodechno-Vilnius railway line and Timiryazeva Street, which duplicates the avenue.
Pobediteley Avenue begins with an overpass over Nemiga and Maxim Bogdanovich streets, near Freedom and 8 March squares, and is a direct continuation of Lenin Street in the north-west direction. The avenue intersects with Melnikaite Street, Masherov Avenue (the first transport ring), then with Gvardeiskaya, Ignatenko and Sapyorov streets. Behind the State Flag Square there is a “clover” type automobile interchange with Orlovskaya Street (the second transport ring), then there are intersections with Kruptsy and Raduzhnaya streets, Drozdy Passage, Narochanskaya / Tikhaya Street, Vesninka Lane and Ratomskaya Street. In the final section, the avenue passes between the Drozdy reservoir (from the northeast) and the Lebyazhiy nature reserve of republican significance (from the southwest). The avenue ends with an interchange at the intersection with the Moscow Ring Road, and its immediate continuation in the Minsk region becomes a short road of local importance.
This second most important highway of the Belarusian capital runs parallel to the Minsk water-green diameter and has a length of about nine kilometers.
Until the mid-twentieth century, the area where the current avenue begins was called Tatarskaya Sloboda, since mainly representatives of this nationality lived here. They also had their own mosque, which stood on the site of the restaurant of the Yubileiny Hotel. And even earlier, in the 11th century, it was here that the Minsk Castle was founded by the Polotsk prince Vseslav the Magician. In the 1960s, the ancient castle was cut in half by the construction of the Park Highway highway (the first name of this route). From 1980 to 2005, the avenue bore the name of Pyotr Masherov, and in 2005, on the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, it was renamed Pobediteley Avenue.
This city highway is a pretty good example of the urban planning complex of the 60s and 70s of the last century. It successfully combines an administrative and business center on one side of the highway and a recreation area on the other, as well as such iconic objects for the country as the Palace of Independence and the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War. Minsk residents jokingly call Pobediteley Avenue Sports, because it houses the Sports Palace (by the way, the first sports facility in the USSR, created according to an experimental asymmetrical project), and the Tennis Palace, and the Rowing House, and the Football Arena, and the multifunctional complex "Minsk- Arena,” and even the headquarters of the National Olympic Committee of Belarus. The largest shopping centers are also located on Pobediteley Avenue: Galleria Minsk, Zamok, ARENAcity.
