#khabarovsk #Khabarovsk today
Volochaevskaya Street is a street in Khabarovsk that runs through the historical center of the city from Seryshev Street parallel to the Amur riverbed and beyond Oboronnaya Street turns into Krasnorechenskaya Street. One of the first streets of the city, the original name of the 8th .
Subsequently, it changed its name to Korsakovskaya, in honor of the Russian Lieutenant General M. S. Korsakov (1826-1871), the second Governor-General of Eastern Siberia, nephew of N. N. Muravyov-Amursky, who replaced his uncle in this post in 1862.
The modern name has been given to the street since 1926 in memory of one of the decisive battles of the Civil War in the Far East - the Battle of Volochaev (February 5-14, 1922).
In 1939, the area between Karl Marx (now Muravyov-Amursky) and Volochaevskaya Streets was allocated for the construction of a multi-storey building for NKVD officers. Due to the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, construction was postponed until 1946. The first stage, from Dzerzhinsky Street to the section along Volochaevskaya (with boiler room), was completed in 1947, and the second, from Volochaevskaya to the State Bank, in 1953. Despite the name, the house has been inhabited by ordinary people since the beginning of operation, and only the last entrance in the wing along Dzerzhinsky Street was intended for the KGB dormitory.
On May 31, 2008, a monument "Hands of Peace" was erected at the intersection with Lenin Street - a symbol of friendship between the cities of Suifinhe and Khabarovsk.
