Poltavsky Shliakh is one of the oldest streets in Kharkiv, Ukraine. It appeared at the end of the 17th century as a road from the Kharkiv fortress to Poltava. At the end of the XIX century, Poltavsky Shliakh became one of the most important arteries of the city with houses of the governor and wealthy burgher. A park was planted, the first opera house in Kharkiv (the building has not survived) was built, and in 1905 was opened the first cinema in the Russian Empire (preserved and still functioning). In 1882, the first in Kharkiv equestrian tram route was laid on this street.
