Rostovskaya Embankment in Moscow got its name in the 19th century from Rostovskaya Sloboda, which emerged in the 15th–16th centuries near the metochion (compound) of the Rostov bishops. The Rostov bishops were not just clergymen but some of the most influential and wealthy people in Russian history, which explains their special status in Moscow. The allocation of land for the sloboda was a consequence of their high standing.

Savvinskaya Embankment is located on the left bank of the Moskva River in Khamovniki, between Rostovskaya Embankment and Novodevichy Drive. Like Savvinsky Lanes, the embankment was named at the beginning of the 20th century after the patriarchal settlement of Savvino, which belonged to the Savvinsky Monastery and was located here from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It is first mentioned in the 1454 will of Pyotr Dobrynsky, who bequeathed the "monastery of St. Savva to the Metropolitan of Kiev and All Russia.

Chertolsky Lane is a street in central Moscow in the Khamovniki district, running between Prechistenka Street and Gagarin Lane. Originally, it was called Tsaritsynsky Lane, because it was located on the site where, in the 17th century, there was a settlement of the "Tsarina's boyar children," who served as the lower ranks of the Tsarina's court. The lane received its current name in 1922, in memory of the Chertolskaya settlement on the Chertory Stream, from the folk term chertoroy — ravine or gully carved by water. This term itself is derived from the expression "the devil dug it" (chort ryl)

"Park Kultury" (also "Park Kultury"-radialnaya) is a station of the Moscow Metro on the Sokolnicheskaya Line. The station was opened on May 15, 1935, as part of the first operating segment of the Moscow Metro, which included 13 stations from "Sokolniki" to "Park Kultury." It got its name from the Gorky Central Park of Culture and Leisure, located nearby.
