Kutuzovsky Prospekt is a major radial avenue in Moscow, Russia, named after Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov, leader of the Russian field army during the French invasion of Russia of 1812. The prospekt continues a westward path of Vozdvizhenka Street and New Arbat Avenue from Novoarbatsky Bridge over the Moskva (river) to the junction with Rublyovskoye Shosse; past this point, the route changes its name to Mozhaiskoye Shosse.
