History
The street arose in the 1720s as a road from the Menshikov Market, located on the territory of the modern Rumyantsev Garden , inland, to the French settlement. The road got this direction, possibly due to its high place. Here there is a bias towards the Neva, a sand mane. It was most convenient to make a path along it, and then a road. Initially, it did not have an official name; among the locals it was called Sand Lane.
As the 1st line of Vasilyevsky Island was built up, Pesochny Lane became the access road to the yards located here. On a neighboring street, houses were built according to standard designs that did not provide for entry into the courtyard from the main facade, so the lane was used to transport firewood.
On March 5, 1871, Pesochny lane began to be called Solovyovskiy, after the gold maker and philanthropist S.F. Solovyov, on whose money the Solovyevsky garden was defeated, to which the street goes.
During the blockade of Leningrad , in the winter of 1941-1942 , the lane was a morgue, corpses were brought here from all the surrounding streets.
In 1952, Solovyovsky Lane was renamed, since then it is Repin Street: the passage with its southern end goes to the Rumyantsev Garden adjacent to the historical building of the Academy of Arts , which houses the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I.E. Repin , and in the Rumyantsev Garden from the embankment next to the bust of V.I. Surikov, a bust of I.E. Repin was installed.
