Russian term or phrase: отдалённого
«Названия улиц произошли не случайно. В этих названиях – указание на историческое событие, на известное в своё время лицо, на бытовую черту, на местную особенность; в них хранится память прошедшего, иногда **отдалённого»**[3]. Улица Пречистенка в этом, безусловно, не исключение.
They preserve the memory of the past, sometimes of the remote things.
