History
The former name of the street is Malaya Mikhailovskaya (on the day of St. Michael in 1710, the Swedish garrison of the city capitulated to Russian troops) [1] .
The modern name is due to the fact that along the street, urban residents drove livestock to pastures outside the city walls through the gates, which were also called Skotoprogonny (Karia-varav, destroyed in 1849).
Initially, the street ended at the intersection with Muirivache . In 1882, a breach was made in the fortress wall of Tallinn and the street was extended to the Pärnus highway, which increased the length of the street to 150 m. In the same year, in 1882, the Duveli tower was destroyed - the city authorities were preparing the opening of a new city market ( est. Uus turg ), He began to work on October 19, 1896.
Currently, the street is closed for vehicles and is a pedestrian [2] .

Notes
- ↑ On Mikhailov Day, September 29, 1710, an act of surrender of the Swedish Reval garrison was signed. The next day, Russian troops entered the Lower Town through the Karia Gate and Suur-Karja Street. In honor of this event since 1776, both the gate and the street were officially named Mikhailovsky.
- ↑ After the closure of Väike-Karja street with concrete barriers, the residents of Old Tallinn and the people who work there asked how the rescuers could get to them in case of fire.
