Guide to Moscow Streets

Stoleshnikov Pereulok leads from Tverskaya to Bolshaya Dmitrovka and then continues as a pedestrian lane to Petrovka. As many other streets in Moscow, it is named after the profession of the people who used to live here. Stoleshniki, who occupied this area in 16th-17th centuries, made table-cloths for the Royal Court ("stol" in Russian stands for "table"). House No.9 is famous for its outstanding dweller – “the first Moscow digger”, Vladimir Gilarovsky. Gifted historian and talented writer, he was affectionately known and beloved by Muscovites. Here he was visited by Tolstoy, Gorky, Chekhov, Bunin, Mayakovsky.
