Small Avenue of Vasilyevsky Island

Maly Prospect passes on Vasilyevsky Island. It was laid in the second half of the XVIII century and was originally called the 3rd Perspective ^[1] . Then they began to call it Maly - in relation to the Bolshoi and Sredny Prospects. In 1939, Maly Avenue was renamed Zheleznyakov Avenue, and in 1944 it was returned to its former name, so it is one of the oldest in the city ( another highway was later named after the Baltic sailor A.G. Zheleznyakov ).

In 1972, Maly Prospect was extended to Nalichnaya Street (it included part of Nalichny Lane). In 1998, the remaining part of Nalichnaya Lane was attached to Maly Prospect, and now it runs from Makarov Embankment to Nakhimov Street.

On Maly Avenue, between the 7th and 8th lines, the Annunciation Square is located. After house 57 and to Bering Street , Smolensk Orthodox Cemetery overlooks Maly Prospect.
