Lysaya Gora is a district of Kharkov. It is located in the northwest of the city, north of the Kholodnaya Gora district. The two mountains are separated by the Savkin Yar ravine, which runs from east to west, along which Verkhneudinskaya Street runs and which is bounded by Revolyutsii 1905 Goda Street from the north (on Lysaya Gora) and Nizhnegiyevskaya Street from the south (on Kholodnaya Gora). The district is separated from the center by a cutting of the Kursk-Kharkiv-Azov Railway line, the Oktyabr locomotive depot and the Kharkov-Sortirovochny station. The name "Bald Mountain" was formed because the dense forest that used to cover it was sold in the 1820s by a local landowner for the construction of the bell tower of the Kharkov Assumption Cathedral. The cut down forest was used to make scaffolding, and the unsuitable "commercial timber" was used to burn bricks, which were made right there, on the spot - at a brick factory (in Savkin Yar). As a result of this felling, the mountain completely "grew bald"; the unchecked spring ("mountain", as it was called then) water began to regularly flood the foothill villages (settlements) - Ivanovka and Panasovka. The floods stopped only after drainage work was carried out during the laying of the Kharkiv Kharkiv Railway in the 1860s-1870s. The eastern slope of the mountain began to be populated around the 1840s by representatives of the Kharkov poor, who were unable to maintain the appearance of their homes in a manner appropriate to the provincial center. Later, in the 1870s-1890s, the development of Lysaya Gora became more intensive: in connection with the launch of the Kursk-Kharkov railway, railway employees and workers of the locomotive and carriage depot, locomotive repair shops and factories appearing in Kharkov (Ivanovo brewery, ceramics, etc.) began to settle there. In the late 1880s, the Kazan cemetery appeared on Lysaya Gora (it still exists today). Later, in 1898-1912, a large Orthodox church, sometimes called a cathedral, was built on Kurilovskaya Street (after Leningradskaya, which was renamed Kurilovskaya during the “decommunization” in 2016), running north from Kuzinskaya (now Revolution of 1905), in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which has never been closed and is still in operation today.
