Bolshoi Prospekt of Vasilievsky Island, Main thoroughfare in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia.

The 3400-meter-long avenue extends through Vasilievsky Island, featuring classical architecture buildings and commercial establishments along its path.

Established in 1810, the street evolved from an initial plan as a shipping canal to become a central boulevard under the guidance of architect Domenico Trezzini.

The avenue housed notable residents including writers Fyodor Dostoevsky and Nikolay Chernyshevsky, along with artists Ilya Repin and Nicholas Roerich.

The street provides direct access to numerous shops, cafes, and transportation options, connecting the eastern and western parts of Vasilievsky Island.

The prospekt underwent a name change during the Soviet era to Prospekt Proletarskoy Pobedy, reflecting the political transformations of the period.
