The unofficial name of the section of Nevsky Prospect from Alexander Nevsky Square to Vosstaniya Square.

According to legend, when laying the Nevskaya prospect from the side of Palace Square, soldiers laid a clearing, and from the side of the present Alexander Nevsky Square - monks from the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
Due to the lack of coordination of actions, a "knee" was formed in the area of ​​the present Suvorov Avenue.

In the 1730s, there was an unsuccessful attempt to straighten the avenue, which resulted in Goncharnaya and Telezhnaya streets.
