BELEVSKOE FIELD, an area to the south-east of St. Petersburg, confined with Alexandrovskoy Fermy Avenue, Sedova Street, Krasnykh Zor Boulevard and Moskovskaya Line of Oktyabrskaya Railway. The name appeared in the early 20th century, when this territory was an extensive waste land. Within the limits of Belevskoe Field, a small village, Vlasyevka, was located. In the 1910s, the project of Belevskoe Field development was approved but has never been implemented. In the late 1940s, blocks of small two-three storied residential buildings were constructed; the rest of the territory was built up with standard blocks of flats in the early 1960s. The names of Belevsky Avenue and Belevsky Lane originate from Belevskoe pole.
