Malaya Dmitrovka

В конце XVI века вокруг Москвы была построена крепостная стена Белого города, которая разделила Дмитровскую дорогу на Большую и Малую Дмитровку. Долгие годы в стене глухой Дмитровской башни существовал лаз, через который жители могли проходить в город, потом Малая Дмитровка повернула к Тверским воротам вдоль стены Страстного монастыря, располагавшегося на месте нынешней Пушкинской площади.

В начале XVIII века вдоль улицы начали селиться именитые граждане, до середины XIX века на улице стояли дворы знати и дворянства. Потом их сменили купцы, люди среднего достатка, интеллигенция, чиновничество.

Бытописатель Москвы П.Боборыкин писал о Малой Дмитровке в 1899 г.: «Эта улица одна из самых красивых, чистых, широких и с постоянной ездой, особенно летом: тут пролегает путь на дачи через Бутырки в Петровско-Разумовское».

По Малой Дмитровке прошла линия первого московского трамвая. С 1899 года одновагонный трамвай ходил от стен Страстного монастыря до Бутырской заставы.

Dmitrov was the closest port, connecting Moscow with the Volga River. In the XVI century, the road went past the village collars - guards the gates of the Kremlin, who lived between Dmitrijevka and Tver, now on their settlement resemble the names of alleys - Vorotnikovsky, Tar, Staropimenovskiy. On the other side was Dmitrovskaya settlement. At the end of the XVI century Moscow was built around the fortress wall of the White City, which divided Dmitrovskaya road on the Big and Small Dmitrovka. For many years in the wall of the tower there was a deaf Dmitrovskaya hole through which people could take place in the city, then turned to Malaya Dmitrovka Tver gate along the wall Passion Monastery, situated on the site of the present Pushkin Square. At the beginning of the XVIII century the street began to settle eminent citizens, to the middle of the XIX century on the street stood the courts of the nobility and gentry. Then they were replaced by merchants, middle-class people, intellectuals and bureaucrats. Bytopisatel Moscow P.Boborykin wrote about Malaya Dmitrovka in 1899 .: "This street is one of the most beautiful, clean, wide and constant riding, especially in the summer: here lies the way to the garden through Butirki in Tepliy." Minor Dmitrijevka passed the first line of the Moscow tram. Since 1899 odnovagonny tram went from the walls of the Monastery of the Passion to Butyrskaya outpost. In 1944 Malaya Dmitrovka was renamed after Chekhov in connection with the fortieth anniversary of the death of the writer. The former name was returned to her in 1993. Modern Malaya Dmitrovka stretches from Pushkin Square to the Garden Ring 651 m.
