Arbat Square.
The square takes its name from an ancient street, Arbat, first mentioned in annuals in 1493. It changed its name only once: in 1909 Moscow held the one hundredth anniversary of N.V. Gogol’s birth, a monument to the writer was erected on Prechistenka, and Arbat was renamed into Gogolevskaya Square. But the previous name that had been popularly known for centuries was returned soon.
