Metropolitan Petru Movilă Street.

It is located in the central area of the city, between Alexei Sciusev and Columna Streets, with a length of about 1 km. It bears the name of Metropolitan Petru Movilă (1565-1646), a notorious personality in the cultural history of Moldavia, Ukraine and Russia, founder of schools and reformer of the Orthodox religion, author and publisher of books: Moghiliovskaia (until 1918), Paul Dicescu (1918-1924), Petru Movilă (1924-1944), Berzarin (1944-1990).
The street dates from the first decades of the last century. The earliest buildings were basically single-storey residential houses. Later important buildings were built: the Commercial Gymnasium, today’s School No. 2, the Tax Department, today’s one of the study blocks of the Technical University, etc. At the upper end of the street, there was originally a vacant lot, which was later redeveloped into a square – the Nemțească Square, where after the war a sports complex was built, later transformed into the “Dinamo” Stadium. In the 60s and 70s of the last century, modern multi-storey buildings were erected on this street: the House of Writers, the House of Publishers, the Polygraphic Combine, the “Știința” Printing House, the “Bucuria” Shop, etc.
