During the Soviet times the street carried the name of Tobilevych after the Ukrainian play writer Ivan Tobilevych better known as Ivan Karpenko-Karyi. Since 1992 it was renamed into street of Stratchenykh (literally - street of Executed) to commemorate the 15 people who were executed by Gestapo in front of the city's synagogue in accusation of being the members of Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists.

The street runs between Market Square and Mickiewicz Square - Lesya Ukrainka Street. At Mickiewicz Square it also connects to Kurbas Street that runs around the mentioned square. Along the way the street of Strachenykh intersects Virmenska Street. At No.7 is located the city's synagogue "Tempel". Next to the synagogue there is a monument to the executed residents of the city and the three-star hotel "Pid Templem".

The street is relatively narrow, designated for a two way traffic. It has a row of trees on both sides separating sidewalk from a roadway.
