Ruska street appeared on the outskirts of Ternopol in the XVI century as a trade route from Lviv to Kamenetz-Podolsky. On the opposite side of the lake were defenses that provided peace and security in the surrounding areas. Such conditions contributed to the development of trade, so a market appeared on the winding territory of the future Ruska and people began to actively settle.

It is known that in the XVIII century, the owners of houses that stood near the market were required to pay tax. And, the closer the house is to the market, the higher the tax.

In the XIX - XX centuries, Ruska street was the main artery of the city, merchants settled here and located shops, restaurants, pharmacies, warehouses, street trading points and sacred buildings. During World War II, a curved street was leveled by the labor of Jews, whom the Germans exploited for their own purposes.

In 1944, the historical buildings of the street were almost completely destroyed. In the 50s, the street was ennobled, made wider and in the days of the Soviet Union it was called Lenin Boulevard.

Today it is the central street of Ternopil and its most intense highway.
