Online Camera Krasnoyarsk. Kopylova street
Kopylova Street (before 1921 - Boyarskaya Street) is located in Zheleznodorozhny and Oktyabrsky districts of Krasnoyarsk.
The history of Boyarskaya Street is associated with the formation in the late 19th century on the western outskirts of Krasnoyarsk, behind the railroad line, workers' settlement - Nikolayevskaya Sloboda. This spontaneously built up sloboda appeared at once after construction in Krasnoyarsk of depot and main railway workshops and many other constructions, belonging to the railroad.
In 1921 Nikolaevskaya Sloboda was renamed into "Sloboda III Internationala", but the residents of the sloboda, and all the townspeople, continued to call this part of the city "Nikolaevka. In the same year Boyarskaya street was renamed in honor of Nikolay Mironovich Kopylov (1880-1919), an active participant in the struggle for Soviet power in Yenisei province.
Until the end of the 1970s, Kopylov street and the greater part of the suburb were mainly built up with one- or two-storied houses having no historical or architectural value.
The street and surrounding neighborhoods had long been isolated from the central part of town: there were no access roads through the railroad line.
When the 50s and 60s of the last century began intensive development of the north-western part of Krasnoyarsk, the only road connecting this part of town with the central became Prospekt Svobodny. But by the seventies it became obvious that this avenue could not cope with the resulting loads, it was necessary to build an alternative shortest road.
In 1977 the Kopylovsky bridge (overpass) over the track development of Krasnoyarsk station - passenger, which connected this area with the central part of the city, was built.
Since that time the reconstruction and intensive building of this old street began. The first modern buildings in Kopilov area appeared in 1977. They were five-story "Leningrad" on Menzhinskogo street under #13, 14, 14 "a", 17, 18, 18 "a", and the first ones on Kopylova street were two nine-story panel 97-series houses #48, 70.
Kopylova street is the shortest way from the city center to the northwestern part of Krasnoyarsk. It starts in Zheleznodorozhny district from Robespiera Street, crossing the railroad tracks, goes to Oktyabrsky district, where it bifurcates into Volochayevskaya street. The historical part of the street goes straight and ends at the intersection with Serov Street. The main part, joining with Godenko Street, forms a single Kopylova - Totmin Street that runs through the northwestern part of the city.
