June 4 Information
Street in Tashkent, 1920
A number of sources about the exiled Indian revolutionaries in 1920 mentions that the 'India House' in
Tashkent was located on 'Lavmentev Road'. The house was supposedly located on the verge of the old and new Tashkent. But I find zero mentions of 'Lavmentev' road in Tashkent, in fact I see no hits for 'Lavmentev' neither in English or Russian except for when talking about the India House. This must be a typo that has been reproduced. But what was the real street name? --

Now our article
Tashkent mentions that "A cantonment and Russian settlement were built across the Ankhor Canal from the old city" so that may give us a clew as to the location of "Lavmentev" Road. If only we had a contemporary map of the city.

Indian Freedom Fighters in Tashkent (1918-1922) by Dilorom Karomat (2020) (which has the Ivanov mention) has a photograph of "Party club and committee in the Old city of Tashkent 1920s". Whether or not this is the Indiyskiy Dom I could not say. The buildings in the picture do have signs on them, which it is possible someone may be able to read.

A FB post says "Там, где киоски и стоит фургон - это улица Шипкинская -Почтовая - Алексея Толстого. Мы спускались по Лермонтовской (именно спускались, там был спкск от Пушкинской). Попадали на перекрёсток -типа площадки. Туда "вливались" Бородинская, Лермонтовская и Алексея Толстого. Затем шли мимо этих киосков (там иногда покупали кислое молоко) к молочному павильону. Одноклассницы жили слева и справа от павильона. Первой от Бородинской была забегаловка - пивнушка." Pushkin Avenue is now
Mustaliq Avenure [
ru. Tolstoy street would have become Oloy ko'chasi in 2010, but can't find it in google maps but per goldenpages its in the Mirzo-Ulug'bek (which would be near Mustaliq Av.). Borodin Street per goldenpages now Xalqobod ko'chasi, in Unusobod sector (just north of Mizro Ulubeg). --

By comparison with Google's contemporary map, Лермонтовская Улица seems to be the street where
here a branch of Trustbank is pinned. No street name is shown. Yandex gives the address of a house on the street as "Oloy dahasi, 17",[2] which does not appear to name a street but more "building #17 in Oloy". Buildings in other nearby streets are also "Oloy dahasi, #". --
