Havannaya street (Zelenogorsk)

Gavannaya Street is a street in the city of Zelenogorsk in the Kurortny District of St. Petersburg . Passes from the Primorsky highway to the Gulf of Finland.

The original name is Kupalnaya Street . So since 1907 the site was called from Lenin Avenue to the Gulf of Finland. The passage led to the baths equipped on the shores of the Gulf of Finland (now there is another Kupalnaya street in Zelenogorsk).

Since the 1920s, the street has been divided into two. The section from the Primorsky highway to the Gulf of Finland was named Satamakatu , which can be translated from Finnish as Havana Street , a street in the harbor . The name is due to the fact that the street leads to the harbor (now there is a yacht club).

The second section, from Lenin Avenue to the Primorsky highway, in the 1920s was called Uimakatu ^[1] . This word was a translation into Finnish of the geonym Kupalnaya Street . In the 1940s, Uimakatu was abolished ^[2] , but today it exists as an unnamed alley in the square of the Eighth of March ^{[3] [4]} .

The southern section of the street became Havana after the war. ^{[ when? ]} The toponym is a translation of Satamakatu into Russian ^[1] . Now the Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2007) does not record the adjective Havana ; from the word harbor comes only the adjective Havana ^[5] . The Big Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language (2014) ^[6] adheres to a similar norm.

Currently, Havannaya Street passes through the territory of the Zelenogorsk Park of Culture and Rest and is its alley. Its route enters the boundaries of two land plots formed “for recreational purposes” ^[7] .

Along Havannaya Street, there are a total of 11 houses that are part of the Teriyoki Resort Hotel, namely 1 and 2 with letters ^[8] .
