History
From the beginning of the 20th century it was called Perm Street . On May 20, 1949, the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council immortalized the memory of a prominent Soviet scientist, power engineer and builder of Soviet hydroelectric power plants, academician Heinrich Osipovich Graftio (1869-1949), calling this street the name of Graftio.
