History
The street arose after the approval of the master plan of the city at the end of the 18th century during the reign of Catherine II. In the XIX century, the street was built up with two-story apartment buildings. The flooring on the street was wooden, and at the beginning of the 20th century it was replaced by cobblestone.
In tsarist times it consisted of two different streets: Malaya Petrovka (between the parade-ceremonial square and the Church of the Savior of the everyday) and Malaya Duhovskaya (from the Church of the Savior of the everyday to the Vedeneev baths).
The origin of the name Malaya Petrovka is unknown. Small Dukhovskaya was named after the Holy Spirit Monastery , near which it ended.
In 1918, Malaya Dukhovskaya was renamed Volodarsky Street. In 1936, Malaya Petrovka was renamed Pushkinskaya. In 1948, the streets were united under the name Pushkinskaya.
In 1964-1966 the street was paved, landscaped, and a boulevard was made in the middle.
On the corner with Herzen Street in Soviet times there was a station for young technicians of Vologodsky Oblon (the building was not preserved).
At the corner with Kozlenskaya was the 1st fire station with a Kalanca, built in 1853.
In Soviet times, the street lost absolutely most of its wooden environment. On the site of the last two quarters, the buildings of the Government of the region (Herzen, 2) were built, and Drygina Square was formed .
