Gregory's ServerA cute thing about Kazan. There once was a street called Esperanto street. Now it's Nursultan Nazarbayev street, but the fun thing is that older people still call it Esperanto. Not many people know why it's called such, though.

It would've been so joyful to hear the word Esperanto every time I pass the street on a bus or a trolley.
According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the street name history is as follows:
<1927 (A name I have troubles translating)
1927 Esperanto
1949 Zhdanov
1988 Esperanto
2015 N. Nazarbayev
Esperanto was used two times! Both times the name was considered thanks to the local Esperanto club. It doesn't seem to be active anymore. No idea what happened to them. Their domain expired.
