The residents of the settlement had their own church of the Tikhvin Mother of God, it stood on the place where house No. 2 is now located. This area began to be actively built up quite late — at the end of the 19th century, several large enterprises and warehouses of the Kiev Railway appeared here.

During the Soviet period, Berezhkovskaya Embankment was dressed in granite, a tram was launched along its entire length to Vorobyovy Gory (which were then called Leninskiye Gory), and the roadway was expanded. In the 1960s, the embankment underwent less positive transformations — the ancient church was demolished, as well as all traces of the former settlement here.

Arkady Strugatsky lived on Berezhkovskaya Embankment, in house No. 14, for a long time. While admiring its industrial landscape, he created a significant part of his works. By the way, an important role in these landscapes is played by the Frunzenskaya CHPP built in the 1930s (now TPP-12).
