RUSSIA - Pushkin Square

Pushkin Square, Monument of Alexander Pushkin. Thanks to Olga for the card.


"Pushkinskaya Square or Pushkin Square (Russian: Пу́шкинская пло́щадь) in the Tverskoy District of central Moscow. It was historically known as Strastnaya Square, and renamed for Alexander Pushkin in 1937. 

It is located at the junction of the Boulevard Ring (Tverskoy Boulevard to the southwest and Strastnoy Boulevard to the northeast) and Tverskaya Street, 2 kilometres  northwest of the Kremlin. It is not only one of the busiest city squares in Moscow, but also one of the busiest in the world."
