Location
The street originates in the courtyard of the house on Mira Street, 14 (Hotel Intourist) and is directed almost strictly to the east, diagonally in relation to modern buildings. On the right side are houses No. 2 (the old wing of the department store), No. 4 and No. 4a (boiler room and the department store's office), on the left side there is house No. 3 (a merchant mansion) and a two-story building No. 5. 130 meters after the start, the street breaks off without ever leaving the residential yard.
Names
In Tsaritsyno, the street was the northern side of Bazarnaya Square, connecting the old city with Preobrazhensky Suburb , and did not have a separate name. The name of the writer Nikolai Ostrovsky , whose biography is not connected with Volgograd, the street received before the Second World War .
History
In the 1770s, Tsaritsyn began to turn from a defensive fortress into a peaceful city. Preobrazhensky forstadt was built north of the fortress wall [1] . Between it and the old city is the Bazaar Square of a triangular shape. On its northern side, over time, a dozen houses were built in height of 1-2 floors.
The market square of Tsaritsyn until 1917. The street, which later received the name of Ostrovsky, begins at the left border of the frame and goes to the right in depth, to the place where the intersection of Komsomolskaya and Lenin Avenue is now located |
Five streets went from Bazarnaya inland to the forstadt: Elizavetinskaya (now Gogol Street), Anastasyinskaya (Volgodonskaya), as well as the not preserved Sofiyskaya, Nadezhdinskaya and Mariinskaya.
After the city was renamed Stalingrad, the street was reconstructed in the 1930s, as a result of the development of Bazarnaya Square, a second, now even, side appeared. The building of the Central Department Store at the beginning of the street was erected in 1938 according to the project of the architect Maria Tsubikova [2] .
The department store went down in the history of the Battle of Stalingrad as a building, in the basement of which was located the headquarters of the Hitler 6th Army (only 4 days), and on January 30, 1943 a turning point of the whole World War II took place - the capture of Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus [3] . (Military historian Andrei Isaev claims that according to the magazine of military operations of the Don Front, events did not occur in the department store, but in the building of the city executive committee on the neighboring square of the Fallen Fighters ) [4] .
Most street houses were damaged or destroyed during the Battle of Stalingrad. After the war, a number of buildings were restored, some of them were demolished later (during the post-war reconstruction of the city in the 1950s, the grid of Preobrazhensky forstadt streets was almost completely destroyed), and only a few are the remains of the street.
