KRASNOPRESNENSKAIA EMBANKMENT

Located on the Left Side of the Moscow River 

Krasnopresnenskaia Embankment is in the Presnensky District in the Central Administrtaive Okrug of Moscow. It lies between the Bagration and Novoarbatsky Bridges and eventually becomes Smolenskaia Embankment. The embankment is accessible through Vystavochny and Glubokuy Lanes and 1995 Goda and Nikolaeva Streets. Originally called Presnenskaya Embankment, the embankment received its new name in 1940, dedicated to the armed uprising of 1905. The House of Soviets of the RSFSR (built 1965-1979), now called the House of the Government of the Russian Federation is a notable structure on the embankment.
