Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street or simply Hrushevskyi Street[2][3][4] (Ukrainian: вулиця Михайла Грушевського, romanizedvulytsia Mykhaila Hrushevskoho) is a street in central Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

The street is named after Ukrainian academician, politician, historian, and statesman Mykhailo Hrushevsky. Hrushevsky wrote his first academic book on the history of Bar, Ukraine, titled Bar Starostvo: Historical Notes: XV-XVIII. [5]

Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street is located in the government quarter Lypky neighborhood of the Pecherskyi District. It houses the Supreme Council Building, Government Building and the Parliamentary Library. It is adjacent to Mariinskyi Park which contains Constitution Square.

The street acts as a border between the Pechersk and Lypky neighborhoods. At the European Square this street connects to Old Kyiv. There is a noticeable ascent that starts at the European Square and continues on all the way to the intersection with Garden Street next to the Government Building.

History[edit]

The street was established sometime in the 1810s as part of the greater Alexander Street which included such modern streets as Sahaidachny Street, Volodymyr Descent, Museum Lane. The street was established along an old Ruthenian path called "Ivanivsky Road". After the return of the Soviets to Kyiv in 1919, the whole of Alexander Street was renamed Revolution Street. After the transfer of the capital from Kharkiv to Kyiv in 1934, the street was split and today's Hrushevskyi portion was renamed as Kirov Street.

It was one of the main sites of the Euromaidan protests in 2014.[6]
