Shabolovka (Russian: Ша́боловка) is a street in the south of Moscow's city centre (located in Yakimanka, Donskoy, and Danilovsky districts), known since the middle of the 18th century. The street contains the notable features of the Shukhov Tower designed by Vladimir Shukhov in 1919, and built between 1920–1922, and the attached Broadcasting Centre in dom 37.
Shabolovka Street moves away from Kaluzhky Square stretching from Leninsky Prospekt (until 1957 named Kaluzhskaya Street) to Mytny Ulitsta finishing at the crossroads Supukhovsky Val.
Unlike many of the other surrounding streets, Shabolovka was never decreed as a main street. The street originally fared as a connecting road to the Southern Village of Shabolovo which is nowadays modern Novye Cheryomushki. Houses along the road to Shabolovo appeared only in the late 17th century. In the built-up parts areas at the end of the road, Trinity Church was constructed. It was wooden framed, and in 1707 it is documented as having been rebuilt, most likely due to the outset of a fire. On the official map of Moscow, in 1739 Shabolovka already laid claim to buildings in the likes of the Donskoy Monastery. Not far from there sprouted the side streets of: - Rizpolozhensky Pereulok, currently renamed Akademia Petrovskogo street in the west, and to the east - Sirotsky Pereulok street now named Shukhov street.
