Vaynera Street: a Walking and Shopping Area
The Vaynera Street was named in honor of Leonid Vayner, the Ural Bolshevik, who died during the Civil War. There was a printing house in one of the buildings in this street, where he worked. Until 1917 the street was called Uspenskaya, since there was a Holy Assumption Church there. The street was called Torgovaya (trading street) in the early XIX century, when street-stands of local merchants appeared there, which eventually turned into shops. The building of the Russian-Asian bank - the largest financial institution in the region – was also located here.
A Museum of Fine Arts appeared in Vaynera Street in Soviet times, and the post-Soviet era enriched it with a series of bronze sculptures, such as a monument to Yefim Artamonov, a farmer who lived in the XIX century and who, as legend says, invented a bicycle. Among other curious sculptures you can see the composition "Lovers", the sculpture "A Banker and Chauffeur" and even a monument to Michael Jackson. Vaynera Street is the favorite resting and shopping place for Yekaterinburg residents. The length of its pedestrian part is slightly less than a kilometer.
