About Leninsky City District
What are the main landmarks in Leninsky City District?
St. Nicholas Cathedral and the Most Holy Mother of God Catholic Church anchor the skyline of Leninsky City District. Both stand near Pushkinskaya Street. Within a short climb the Former Oriental Institute, Saint Paul's Lutheran Church and the Monument to Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy mark the ridge above the harbour, while the Stalin tunnel bores through the slope below Svetlanskaya Street.
What is the history of Leninsky City District?
Leninsky City District was constituted in 1936 as one of the administrative divisions of Vladivostok. It gathered the oldest streets. The terraced masonry of Pushkinskaya Street, the Sinkevich's Apartment Houses and the Former Oriental Institute all predate that division, so the district carries the founding-era fabric of Vladivostok even under its later Soviet name.
Where is Leninsky City District?
Leninsky City District covers the ridged old-town slopes of Vladivostok above the harbour, threaded by Svetlanskaya Street and Pushkinskaya Street.
