Mosin Street

Mosin Street in Sestroretsk was renamed on December 15, 1952, from Krestovskaya Street in honor of S. I. Mosin, the head of the local arms factory and creator of the 1891 model rifle. The section from Voskova Street to the Spillway Canal was previously called Krestovskaya Street, and the Krestovsky Square has been preserved at the southwestern corner with Voskova Street. The oldest vocational school No. 120 also bears Mosin's name. At Mosin Street, 63, there was a school complex of pre-revolutionary buildings; a wooden structure from 1905 was demolished in 2014 for the construction of a new wing, which the prosecutor's office deemed illegal.
