History[]
The street historically developed in the 1740s as one of the streets of Ssylnaya Sloboda (Banished Sloboda), emerging outside Zeley Gates of Yekaterinburg Fortress. Street direction reflected the line of the south side of the pond.[1]
Till 1845 Fetisovskaya street was quite developed, consisting of two long quarters. The street started from Metlinskaya (Metlin) Street (beginning of modern 8 Marta (March 8) Street) and approached Severnaya (North) Street.
In 1919 the street was renamed to commemorate the events of January 9, 1905 in Saint Petersburg.[1]
On April 8, 2008 the street was renamed after the first president of Russia Yeltsin.[2][3]
On February 1, 2011 Boris Yeltsyn Monument was opened on the street near Demidov-Plaza business center.[4]
