Vozdvizhenka Street (in 1935-1946 - Kominterna Street; in 1946-1962 - Kalinina Street; from 1963 to the early 1990s - part of Kalinina Avenue) - a street in the Arbat district of the Central Administrative District of Moscow.
In the XIII-XIV centuries, on the site of modern Vozdvizhenka, the “Volotsk road” passed - a trade route from Veliky Novgorod through Volokolamsk to Moscow. Presumably, in 1367 a stone bridge was built on the road across the Neglinnaya River.
In documents of the 15th-16th centuries the street appeared under the name “Orbat” or “Arbatskaya Street”. According to a common version, this word meant “a suburb near the city”: the Kremlin territory was considered the city limits at that time.
Mokhovaya Street (1961-1990 - part of Marx Avenue) is a street in the center of Moscow. It starts from Znamenka Street, goes north, Vozdvizhenka and Bolshaya Nikitskaya streets depart from it to the left.
It received its name in the 18th century from the former Mokhovaya Square at the Trinity Gate of the Kremlin, to which it adjoined. According to other sources, the name is from the 17th century. In the old days, there was a shopping arcade here where they sold dry moss for sealing cracks in wooden houses, which is why the street began to be called Mokhovaya.
