Liteiny Avenue in St. Petersburg.

Liteyny Prospekt (Template:Lang-ru) is a major street in the Central Business District of Saint Petersburg. The street extends from the Liteyny Bridge and runs to the Nevsky Prospekt.

Liteyny Prospekt means Foundry Avenue, and is one of the oldest names in Saint Petersburg. The street got its name in 1738, after a large foundry (established in 1711). There was made a ride in the forest from the foundry to the Bolshaya Perspectiva (future Nevsky Prospect) that eventually got the name Liteyny Prospekt.

After the October Revolution the street got the name Prospekt Volodorskogo (after V. Volodarsky). In 1944 the historic name was restored.
