Funny street names in Russia are not uncommon. Many people even collect such items, because funny geography raises the mood well. There are funny names both in megacities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in small towns. In total, in Russia, according to statistics, there are about 170 thousand towns, villages and cities, and almost everyone has something to laugh at!
Illogical logic
Like children's charades, which baffled many street and lane names with their logic, they cause laughter among Russians and make foreigners who do not understand the salt of jokes difficult.
Most often, a smile is caused by the numbering of streets and alleys.
For example, in Samara there is the 11th and 13th passage, while the 12th does not exist.
In Moscow, 4th Street on March 8 holds the palm - after all, neither the first, nor the second, nor the third streets dedicated to International Women's Day have been built or named.
Vladimirsky 16th passage is also good - there are no other thoroughfares nearby!
The following street names are also surprising:
- Nameless;
- Last;
- Extreme;
- It’s empty.
After all, it seems that there is no life on these streets!
Well, the name of the Dull lane just causes laughter.
But there are also examples of urban planning logic. In Voronezh, Sukonovka Pravaya Street is adjacent to Sukonovka Left.
Politics
Funny street names are often associated with politics. There is a Communist impasse in Saransk, and Plekhanov and Bakunin streets meet at the crossroads in Penza.
In many cities, the streets of Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx are inextricably linked and located either side by side or perpendicularly. So, having found one street, it is already difficult to get lost even in an unfamiliar place.
There are deputy streets in many Russian cities, but deputies are unlikely to live on them.
In Yekaterinburg, Narodnaya Volya street is limited to the prospectus on March 8 - and the question arises, who constricts the will of the people? But the inhabitants of Kostroma can teach the lives of the inhabitants of Yekaterinburg, because in this city there is a New Life street.
Krasnoyarskaya Street Labor Protection - the most law-abiding. Finally, in Arkhangelsk is the most important street of the country - Russian.
