The 28 May Street (Azerbaijani: 28 may küçəsi) is located in the Nəsimi raion of Baku. Beginning at the Richard Sorge Street, it spans about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) and ends up at the Bulbul Avenue. The street was known as Telefonnaya (Telephone Street) during the Russian rule, then was renamed to 28 April Street to mark the date of the establishment of Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.[1] Since 1992 it is known under the current name, which highlights the date when Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was declared.
Among the street's landmarks is the Lutheran Church of the Saviour and Samad Vurgun park. The nearest metro hub is the 28 May Station.
