Frunzenskaya Embankment is a street and embankment in Khamovniki District of Moscow. It is a section of the embankment along the Moskva between the Krymsky and Novoandreevsky Bridges.
Along with three adjacent streets, Frunzenskaya Embankment was named after the Russian Bolshevik military commander Mikhail Frunze.[1] The embankment's historic and original name is Khamovnicheskaya Embankment. The date of renaming under the Soviet regime in different sources is 1925,[2] 1926,[3] and 1936. The last date is most likely correct, since on the map of Moscow in 1934, the embankment was still called Khamovnicheskaya.[4]
