Jakšto Street
Jakšto Street

Jakšto Street (Lithuanian: Jakšto gatvė) is a short street in the central part of Vilnius, named after a Catholic philosopher Adomas Jakštas. It is some 350 metres long and leads from the principal Gediminas Avenue towards the Neris river, sloping by some 7 metres towards the north. The street is flanked by buildings built between the 1890s and the 2000s. Throughout its history and according to political preferences of Vilnius authorities, it was named Старый Переулок (Old Backyard), Улица Херсонская (Kherson Street), Krähenstraße (Crow Street), ulica Dąbrowskiego (Dąbrowski Street), Dambrausko-Jakšto gatvė (Dambrauskas-Jakštas Street), Komunarų gatvė (Communards Street) and Jakšto gatvė (Jakštas Street). Two houses which merit attention are the historicist building designed by Mikhail Prozorov in the 1890s and the functionalist building by Jerzy Sołtan, constructed in the 1930s. The street featured prominently in the history of Vilnius on January 1, 1919, when it became a battleground between the local workers' soviet and the local Polish militia. Over time the street hosted some locally important institutions: the Russian high school Гимназiя Ппозоробой (early 20th century), the radical left-wing Vilnius Soviet of Workers Deputies (1918-1919), the Lithuanian high school Vytauto Didžiojo Gimnazija (1931-1944), and the key Russian-language LSSR daily Советская Литва (1949-1987). However, for city dwellers of some 5 generations the street has been rather associated with performance hall, hosting various types of shows; it was named "Apollo" (Russian rule), "Słońce" (Polish rule), "Pionierius" (Soviet rule) and "Vaidilos" (Lithuanian rule).
