Kirov Street
(Voinovskaya untill 1922,
Krestyanskaya 1922-1935)
Krestyanskaya 1922-1935)
Kirov Street is one of the shortest streets in the historical center of Tyumen.
The outlines of this street and its main attraction at that time, the Assumption Convent, are already on the first preserved city plan of the end of the 17th century.
In the last decades of the 19th century, the previously unnamed street was named Voynovskaya in honor of the Tyumen merchant of the First Guild Ivan Petrovich Voynov, founder of the first maternity hospital in Tyumen.
By the fifth anniversary of the October Revolution, Voynovskaya Street was renamed into Krestyanskaya, and in early 1935, into Kirov Street.

Sergey Mironovich Kirov (real name Kostrikov) was born on March 15 (27), 1886 in the city of Urzhum, Vyatka province (now Kirov region) in a petty-bourgeois family. Sergey was four years old when his father left the family. Soon after, the boy’s mother, Ekaterina Kuzminichna, died. Eight-year-old Seryozha, along with his two sisters, Anna and Elizabeth, remained in the care of grandmother Melania Avdeevna, who assigned her grandson to a "charity home for young orphans." In 1901, after graduating from the city college, Sergei received financial support from Urzhum benefactors and became a student at the Kazan Lower School of Mechanics and Technology. In Kazan, he begins to attend underground student and work clubs.
In 1904, after graduating from college, Sergey Kostrikov moved to Tomsk and enrolled in preparatory courses at the Tomsk Institute of Technology. Here he became a member of the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party (RSDLP) and began working in an underground printing house, for which he was arrested in 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1911. From 1909 to 1917, S.M. Kostrikov lived in Vladikavkaz, where he worked as a journalist for the liberal-bourgeois newspaper Terek. There, in the editorial office, he meets his future common-law wife Maria Lvovna Markus (1885 (1882 (?) — 1945). At the same time, his pseudonym S. Kirov appeared.

During the February Revolution, Kirov joined the Vladikavkaz Council of Workers' Deputies as one of a small group of Bolsheviks. In October 1917, he was elected a delegate to the II All-Russian Congress of Soviets in Petrograd, which resulted in the proclamation of Soviet power in Russia. According to the official Soviet biography, Kirov’s political views before 1917 are clear — he was a staunch Bolshevik-Leninist. Recent studies dispute this claim — Kirov could not choose the "platform" of his political preferences for a long time, sympathized with the Mensheviks, supported the Provisional Government, and only after the October 1917 events sided with the Bolsheviks.
During the Civil War (1918−1922), S.M. Kirov participated in organizing the defense of Astrakhan against the White Guard troops of A.I. Denikin and A.V. Kolchak. At that time, he established the illegal transportation of oil and gasoline to Astrakhan from Baku, occupied by British troops, carried out a number of diplomatic assignments and participated in the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Kirov became one of the founders of the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic (ZSFSR) in 1922. As First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Bolsheviks (CC KP (b)) of Azerbaijan, Sergei Mironovich led the restoration and reconstruction of the republic’s oil industry.
In January 1926, Kirov was appointed first secretary of the North-Western Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPSU (b). In February 1926, he became first secretary of the Leningrad Gubernatorial Committee of the CPSU (b). Under Kirov, an industrial and local fuel and energy base is being created in Leningrad and the Leningrad Region, and the urban economy is being reconstructed.
In December 1934, Kirov was shot dead in the corridor of the Leningrad Regional Party Committee (in Smolny) by Nikolayev, an employee of one of the Leningrad regional party committees. It was announced that the murder was the work of "enemies of the people" — Trotsky and Zinoviev.
Kirov’s death caused a wide public outcry. On December 1, 1934, a decree "On the procedure for conducting cases of preparation or commission of terrorist acts" was published under the signature of Secretary of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR A.S. Yenukidze. According to this document, Kirov became a victim of conspirators — enemies of the USSR. According to the currently prevailing official version, the murder of S.M. Kirov was committed by a lone terrorist, L.V. Nikolaev, for personal reasons and was of a criminal rather than a political nature.
After Kirov’s death, a huge number of geographical and economic objects in the country were named after him, including a street in Tyumen.
At the corner of Voynovskaya and Znamenskaya Streets (now Kirov and Volodarsky Streets), there was a photographic studio of Taras Klementyevich Ogibenin, a collegiate secretary, a member of the Tyumen City Duma, a member of the City Council, and a participant in the photographers' exhibition in Paris in 1900.
The photo studio was located in a two-story wooden house with a glazed roof, which allowed photographing in natural light. In addition to the filming pavilion, there was a chemical laboratory in the house. There was a one-story residential wooden house next to the photo shop. Both houses were bought in 1904 from a middle-class woman, M.I. Yarunova. A garden was planted inside the estate, which was accessed by a porch decorated with decorative bollards.
An advertisement was published in the Tyumen newspaper: "The photographic studio of T.K. Ogibenina performs all kinds of photography work. A special device for enlarging portraits of any size in the most elegant artistic decoration. Photographing in natural colors using the Lumiere method (on glass). A new mounting of photographic cards on soft substrates, and the drawing can be made not only in black, but also in blue, green, red…, which gives the photos a very elegant, original look. Portraits on porcelain, convex portraits on clay (photographic bas-reliefs). The photo is placed in its own specially built room, with an American-style pavilion, on the corner of Voinovskaya and Znamenskaya streets. Orders are accepted from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m."
After the revolution, Ogibenin’s unique photo archive — 24 boxes with glass plates of portraits of citizens, pictures of city streets — was destroyed "as unnecessary" by the new owner of the photo pavilion, the Bytovik artel… Both houses were demolished during the construction of the Promstroybank building in the late 1970s.
