Moscow. Russia. Urban Landscape. View Of The Prechistenskaya Embankment And The Moskva River Editorial Photo

Prechistenskaya Embankment is located on the left bank of the Moskva River in Khamovniki between Novokrymsky Passage and Lenivka. The name of the embankment originated in the XVIII century along Prechistenka Street and originally referred only to part of its modern length. In 1924, together with the former embankment of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which ran from Soymonovsky Passage to the Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge, it was renamed Kropotkinskaya. In 1993, the embankment was returned to its historical name.
