The history of the street:
Nikolskaya street is one of the three main arteries of Kitay-Gorod. Historically, it went from the Nikolsky gate of the Kremlin, as if continuing the Nikolskaya street of the Kremlin, to the Nikolsky, then Vladimir gates (built in 1694, the temple of the icon of the Vladimir mother of God) of Kitay-Gorod and went to Lubyanskaya square. The street was part of the Vladimir road that connected Moscow with Rostov the Great, Suzdal and Vladimir, and formed a single unit with Lubyanka and Sretenka.
After the creation of red Square at the end of the XV century, the street began to start at it. It got its name either from the Nikolskaya tower of the Kremlin, from which it departed, or from the monastery of St. Nicholas the Old. Along the street gradually appeared boyar estates and courtyards of service people. To live on St. Nicholas has become prestigious; by the time of the construction of the Kitay-Gorod wall Nikolskaya street is famous for its monasteries, trading rows and houses of noble boyars Sheremetev, Cherkassky, the Romanovs, Dolgoruky, Telyatevsky. On Nikolskaya street, several Moscow monasteries have long stood – the beginning of Russian education and the printing yard. It was the most important auction of icons and books. Ivan Mikhailovich Snegirev said about it:"it is destined to be the abode and shelter of arts and Sciences."
At the same time, this street saw processions to the Vladimir Church and the Sretensky monastery in memory of the salvation from the hordes of Tamerlane, from the zolotordyn Khan Akhmet, the Crimean Mahmet Giray, and triumphal arches, and solemn processions in honor of Peter's victories, the coronations of Elizabeth and Catherine. All the following monarchs went to the Kremlin for the coronation on Tverskaya street. Nikolskaya street was one of the first to become a shopping street, where even coffee shops were opened at the end of the XVIII century.
In 1935, it was renamed im street. October 25-on this day, according to the old style, the Bolsheviks broke through to the Kremlin. At the corner of Bogoyavlensky lane stood Japanese guns brought from Lefortov. It was volleys of them that smashed the Nikolsky gate, and the red guards opened the road to the Kremlin.
In 1990, the street returned its historical name.
