Liberty Street (Ryazan)

It arose in connection with the approval in 1782 by Catherine II of the regular plan of the city. At the site of the street, from ancient times, there was the Vladimirsky tract (it went from Vladimir to the floating bridge over the Oka River). According to the new plan, it was supposed to connect with the Astrakhan tract (now Lenin Street ) and at their junction Novobazarnaya Square with stone shopping malls (now the regional philharmonic society) was arranged.

However, there were differences from the old horse-drawn road. The latter from the Lower Posad (the area of ​​the current Freedom Square) sharply turned right to the Kremlin. Further up to the Astrakhan tract were the land of the Ryazan landowners and clergy (including the Naryshkins ). The state bought out private property and began to conduct land surveying. It was necessary to smooth the area, breaking three hills and falling asleep two ravines. Up to two thousand peasants for five years participated in these works.

The street quickly acquired a fashionable look. Merchants willingly settled here, although the price of land was very high.
