Maroseyka Street (in 1954-1990 – Bogdan Khmelnitsky Street) is a street in the Central Administrative District of Moscow (Basmanny District).
Passes from Ilyinsky Gate Square to Pokrovka Street (intersection with Armenian and Starosadsky lanes). The numbering of houses is conducted from the Ilyinsky Gate Square.
Maroseyka is part of the ancient Pokrovka Street and got its name in the 17th century after the Little Russian Compound (with a distortion of Maloroseyka – Maroseyka), which was located at the corner of Maroseyka and Bolshoy Zlatoustinsky lanes, on the site of the current houses 9 and 11.
In the 15th-16th centuries, royal gardens were located on Pokrovka; The “royal road” along Maroseyka to Preobrazhenskoye and Izmailovo attracted the nobility. At the same time, foreigners settled on the street. In 1638, out of 83 houses on Maroseyka, 62 were occupied by representatives of boyar families. The reduction of the Orthodox flock prompted the clergy to seek protection from Mikhail Fedorovich, and in 1643 a decree was issued prohibiting the purchase of households by foreigners and closing the Lutheran prayer houses.
In the 1900s-1910s, Maroseyka was rebuilt by architects I. A. Ivanov-Shits and M. S. Lyalevich. Most of the street still retains the buildings of the first half of the 19th century.
