Where do the names come from. Petersburg st., Nab., ​​Flash., From the Annensky Criminal Code. to post. lips. Poltavchenko: Erofeev, Vladimirovich

Not every adult and even very educated person knows what “toponymy” is. But toponymy surrounds us from the first days of life. Wherever we were born, nor lived – in the city, in the village, or even somewhere on the settlements, the names are surrounded everywhere. City, district, village, village, street, lake, river, tract … But there are also folk names that are not always applied to the map, but exist in everyday life. This is all toponymy.
The book of employees of the Toponymic Commission of St. Petersburg A.G. Vladimirovich and A.D. Erofeev is devoted to the history of the names of streets and lanes of the Northern capital.
From the book we learn why some objects have retained their names from the middle of the 18th century, while others have repeatedly changed their names. The authors consider the causes of such renaming, tell how certain names were accepted earlier and how this is happening now.
