Vosstaniya Square neznaiko wrote in January 20th, 2014
Probably every second person who comes to St. Petersburg leaves the Moskovsky Station on Vosstaniya Square. The first thing the guest sees is Ligovsky Prospekt, always stuck in traffic jams, on the square itself there is the victory obelisk and the building of the Oktyabrskaya Hotel with the inscription on the facade “Hero City Leningrad”.
Vosstaniya Square, present day
The square has a very interesting history. Also here you can notice the visual deception of the obelisk, and it has its own, no less interesting, history.
In 1765, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna ordered the construction of a church at the intersection of Nevsky Prospekt. In those days, this was the border of that first St. Petersburg. On the site of the Smolny Cathedral there was a village; instead of Ligovsky Prospekt there was a water canal originating in the Liga River. In 1794, instead of a church, a stone temple was laid, and in 1804 the construction was completed.
The Znamenskaya Church is named after the attached chapel. The main chapel was consecrated in the name of the Lord's entry into Jerusalem, the side chapels - in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Sign of the Mother of God.
The Znamenskaya Church was dismantled at the beginning of 1941. (The date 1936 is erroneous - the church was still active in the first half of 1937).

The square itself was formed in the 1840s in connection with the construction of the St. Petersburg - Moscow railway. A little later, the Nikolaevsky (now Moskovsky) station building was built.

It was built in the mid-19th century. The hotel was then called “Severnaya”, “Bolshaya Severnaya”, and after the revolution it became “Oktyabrskaya”. In the 1920s, a city hostel for the proletariat was organized in the hotel, where all Petrograd street children were taken. In short, the hostel was called GOP, and its young inhabitants were called gopniks.
In 1909, a monument to Alexander III was erected in the center of the square. In October 1937, the monument was dismantled and moved to the courtyard of the Russian Museum. In 1994, the monument was erected in the courtyard of the Marble Palace.

On November 17, 1918, the square where large-scale events and manifestations of the February Revolution took place in 1917 was renamed Vosstaniya Square.
At the end of the 1930s, work began on the construction of the metro, which was frozen at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War and the blockade of the city.
During the war, Vosstaniya Square was an active operating point - the station worked (evacuation of residents of the besieged city), pillboxes were placed.

In the post-war period, in 1952, the square was reconstructed, a front square was laid out, in the center of which it was planned to erect a monument in memory of the historical events of the city.

Interestingly: on Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg, two high-rise dominants - the City Duma Tower and the Obelisk to the "Hero City of Leningrad" - are regular pentagons in plan.
This creates a favorable effect from all vantage points and fits well into the urban landscape, which is why many citizens traditionally believe that both of these structures are square in plan.
Z Namenskaya Square is one of the most famous in St. Petersburg.
Now in the center of the square there is a stele in the form of a bayonet, but this was not always the case. The square has greatly changed its appearance compared to imperial times (and is the only one on Nevsky Prospekt) and has changed compared to Soviet times.
Popularly, the square was named Znamenskaya after the chapel of the Church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary, consecrated in 1765. In 1794 - 1804, according to the design of the architect F. I. Demertsov, the church was rebuilt in stone. In 1809, a cast-iron fence and two chapels appeared (both were rebuilt by P. A. Chepyzhnikov during the renovation of 1863-1865). From the name of the church (“Znamenskaya”), Znamenskaya Square and Znamenskaya Street (now Vosstaniya Square and Street) got their names. The bridge over the Ligovsky Canal, located on Nevsky Prospekt, was also called Znamensky.
I feel sorry for the church. Many great people attended it, including Academician Pavlov.
My maternal great-grandmother got married in this demolished church...
This is a document and below is herself... Although the seal is not very similar to the original. Maybe there was another Znamenskaya?
Previously, on the square there was a monument to the Trans-Siberian Railway in the form of the equestrian Emperor Alexander III.
In Soviet times, the monument stood with the inscription "SCARECROW". And then it was demolished and now it stands behind the backyard in the courtyard of the Marble Palace) and then the Church of the Sign itself.
There are interesting folk poems about the monument.
“There’s a chest of drawers, there’s a hippopotamus on the chest of drawers, there’s a hat on the hippopotamus, what kind of fool is this daddy?!”
Ilyich was supposed to appear on the square. Lenin and St. Petersburg are tightly connected. It was not for nothing that the city was Leningrad. They sculpted so many monuments that the political bird had nowhere to spoil.
With the advent of people's power, the square received the name "Uprising Square". And Lenin in the center would be its classic socialist conclusion. The name obliged, where else if not there...
There was even a stone laid on the square with the inscription: (You’ll go straight...) “A monument to Lenin will be built here. Laid down on the day of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of Leningrad." But, fortunately, it didn’t work out.
The fact that the 250th anniversary of Leningrad was celebrated four years later still surprises contemporaries. But this reason is banal and respectful - Stalin died in 1953, there was no time for celebrations. They mourned for four years. In addition, Khrushchev did not like Leningrad (all Soviet leaders were distinguished by this). They did not expect anything good from the intelligentsia and culture. But this is not the main reason why the monument to the leader was never erected.
According to some estimates, at that time (1957) in Leningrad there were only seven monuments and busts of Lenin in the open air, mainly on the territory of factories. But then, at least one Ilyich a year appeared in our city.
This is the remains of the Znamenskaya Church. Now this is the metro lobby. You can come in and pray...
Of course, Vosstaniya Square is a serious place, not a backyard near a factory warehouse; you can’t erect a monument here from the corner.
There is a legend that there was a competition. And the work of the sculptor Anikushin, the main and most “star” Leningrad sculptor of that time, won. But the authorities could not install the monument correctly. He did not get up according to all the canons of socialist feng shui. All the time he turned backwards towards something... or sideways towards some urban dominant. No matter how you install Lenin, your ass doesn’t lead to communism and doesn’t paint bright prospects, but the matter is political. If you put your outstretched hand towards Nevsky, what about the passengers leaving the Moskovsky station? Foreign guests will go out to the city of the world revolution and the first thing they will see is Ilyich’s backside. Politically incorrect!
They lasted until 1965, and then the order arrived to erect a monument to the hero city of Leningrad in connection with the twentieth anniversary of the Victory Day, and it was decided to build an obelisk on Vosstaniya Square that would look the same from all sides."
True, this obelisk to the “Hero City of Leningrad” was finished only twenty years later, already in independent Russia. As Rosembaum wrote, they stuck a bayonet into the heart of the city... as they say, it’s a beautiful phrase, but if you’re serious about an architectural solution, then it’s a matter of taste and color. For example, I like it. There is not enough vertical space in our city.
Back in the 17th century, the Novgorod Highway ran through the territory now called Vosstaniya Square, which ran along a sandy ridge washed up by the ancient Littorina Sea. The natural elevation protected the area from flooding. In 1710, construction began on the Great Perspective Road (the future Nevsky Prospekt), which two years later connected the Admiralty with the Novgorod Highway. The resulting intersection later became Vosstaniya Square. From 1712, for six years, a road was built here from the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. It connected with the Novgorod tract just north of the Bolshaya Perspektivnaya Road, which predetermined the only break in Nevsky Prospekt.
In 1718-1725, the Ligovsky Canal was dug along the Novgorod tract to supply water to the fountains of the Summer Garden. There was a wooden bridge across the canal here.
There is often a version in guidebooks that Peter I initially wanted to build a road from the Admiralty to the monastery in a straight line. But two teams of construction workers made a mistake and brought two sections of the highway here, which allegedly resulted in the only turn on Nevsky Prospekt. To make it even more convincing, the narrators supplement this story with the fact that Peter I ordered the builders to be flogged at the turning point. This story has nothing to do with reality.
Under Empress Anna Ioannovna in the 1730s, an attempt was made to bring Nevsky Prospekt to the dome of the Holy Trinity Cathedral. A new one was laid parallel to the Nevskaya Perspective Road, thus creating the routes of modern Goncharnaya and Telezhnaya streets. But later this idea was abandoned, returning the old road to its former name - Nevsky Prospekt.
In the middle of the 18th century, between Vosstaniya and Mayakovsky streets there was a royal poultry yard, and opposite, across the prospect, there were stables and a dog yard. Vosstaniya Square at that time was a huge wasteland. From 1744 to 1778, to the north of the wasteland, the Elephant Yard was located - one of the first menageries in Russia. Its territory was surrounded by a fence, and a sign was hung at the gate with the inscription “Her Majesty’s Elephant Hunt.” Next to the menagerie, various foodstuffs were traded from carts.
At the same time, this place was still sparsely populated. According to the historian P.N. Stolpyansky, here once " at 9 o'clock in the evening... a wolf appeared, ran at the fireman who was inspecting the lanterns, knocked him down and, tearing his left cheek with his teeth, began to run...". [Quoted from: 2, p. 11]
At the corner of Nevsky Prospekt and Ligovsky Canal in 1765-1767, by order of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, a wooden church was built in the Name of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem, which became popularly known as Znamenskaya. The temple acquired this name from one of its chapels - the Sign of the Most Holy Theotokos, consecrated in 1765.
After the closure of the Elephant Yard, carriage sheds grew up in its place, next to which there were wooden residential buildings. They stood mostly in the depths of the plots, exposing only fences to the future square.
This place remained outside St. Petersburg for a long time. In bad weather, the wasteland turned into a swamp. To allow vehicles to pass along it, logs were laid, on top of which wheel tracks (two rows of boards) were installed. In 1772, temporary sidewalks were installed along the roadway, which appeared by order of Catherine II for access to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. Cobblestone streets appeared here only at the end of the 18th century.
The architectural dominant of the square in 1794-1804 was the new stone Church of the Sign, built according to the design of F.I. Demertsov. In 1809, the temple was surrounded by a cast-iron fence with two chapels in the corners.
The atmosphere of this place in the 1840s was described by the famous lawyer A.F. Koni: " Znamenskaya Square is vast and deserted... Two-story and one-story houses frame it, and past... a river flows, along the steep banks of which grass grows. The water is muddy and dirty, and rough wooden railings stretch along the shore". [Quoted from: 2, p. 13]
Since 1849, this place has been referred to as the square to the Znamensky Bridge. Since 1857 - Znamenskaya Square, after the nearby Znamenskaya Church.
In the first third of the 19th century, the eastern side of the square was marked by the wooden house of merchant A. Timofeev, on the site of which a three-story stone building was built in 1835. Behind it, in 1846-1850, the architect Z. F. Krasnopevkov rebuilt the carriage house (Nevsky Prospekt 91). The tower of the moving house was clearly visible from Znamenskaya Square; it was a noticeable part of the appearance of this place.
This place played a special role when it was decided to build the final station of the railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow on its southern outskirts. In connection with this, the architect N. E. Efimov in 1844 developed a plan for the layout of Znamenskaya Square. It was approved by the highest on February 8, 1845. The plan was implemented as part of the construction in 1847-1851 of the Nikolaevsky (now Moskovsky) station according to the design of K. A. Ton (Nevsky Prospekt 85). With its opening, Znamenskaya Square became the main “gateway” to St. Petersburg.
Since 1843, “calibers” (they were also called “guitars”) - droshky with a narrow seat for two people - began to carry passengers from Znamenskaya Square to the Admiralty. With the opening of railway traffic from St. Petersburg to Kolpino in 1847, omnibuses began to travel from here - covered carriages for 20 people. St. Petersburg residents nicknamed them “I’ll embrace” or “the forty martyrs.”
They knew about the construction of a railway station in the city in advance. Therefore, land in the district quickly rose in price and began to be bought up by business people for the construction of hotels and apartment buildings. The plot on the northern border of the square was given free of charge by Nicholas I to the merchant Ponamarev “and his comrades” for the construction of a hotel here. The merchant was obliged to begin construction in 1845 and complete it three years later. But Ponamarev did not fulfill his obligation. The site was given to Count Stenbock-Fermor. By 1851, that is, by the opening of the railway between St. Petersburg and Moscow, the northern side of Znamenskaya Square was decorated with the building of the Stenbock-Fermor hotel (Nevsky Prospekt 118).
Since August 1863, a ring of horse-drawn railways ("horses") was located on Znamenskaya Square. The carriages were supposed to run every 10 minutes every day from 9 am. However, the schedule was almost never respected, since the carriages stood at the final stop until they were fully occupied by passengers.
Until the mid-19th century, Znamenskaya Square and its surroundings were illuminated by oil lanterns. Their rectangular pillars were painted with black and white stripes, and on each of them hung four burners. They shone weakly, giving light only a few steps away from them. In the second half of the 19th century, they were replaced by gas lamps.
Order on Znamenskaya Square was maintained by a security guard, whose black and white booth stood at the wide Znamensky Bridge. He was dressed in a gray uniform of coarse cloth and armed with a halberd. The guard had an impressive shako on his head. The duty was carried out in two shifts. One of the guards was resting in the booth, and the second was keeping order. They were helped by an occasional assistant. The order of the St. Petersburg Chief of Police in 1866 prescribed:
“The guards from the Anichkin Bridge... should be strengthened at night to suppress robberies, and in addition, sometimes... should go around Znamenskaya Square one by one throughout the night” [Quoted from: 2, p. 13].
In 1867, the house of the merchant A. Timofeev, by order of the new owner, furniture manufacturer K. A. Tur, was built on and rebuilt by the architect G. M. Barch (Nevsky Prospekt 87). Another year later, a building was built on the opposite side of Nevsky Prospect - a four-story house of the Chesnokov merchants (Nevsky Prospekt 120). The Ligovsky Canal in the Znamenskaya Square area was taken into a pipe and filled in in 1892. It was replaced by Ligovskaya Street, now an avenue. The Znamensky Bridge was dismantled as unnecessary.
The first St. Petersburg taxi began carrying passengers in 1897 from Znamenskaya Square to the Admiralty. Ten years later, the tram and bus that replaced the horse-drawn tram began running here. The newspaper “Petersburg Leaf” wrote about the latter on October 5, 1907: “ Yesterday... members of the partnership made... a test flight on the only motor omnibus in St. Petersburg. The omnibus completed the entire trip from Nikolaevsky Station to Alexandrovsky Garden in 9 minutes, overtaking 5 horse-drawn carriages". [Quoted from: 2, p. 40]
In 1909, the center of the square was decorated with an equestrian monument to Emperor Alexander III by sculptor P. P. Trubetskoy.
Since 1910, when Nevsky Prospekt was covered with ends to Fontanka to Znamenskaya Square, one of the first traffic lights worked here. Then it was a circle painted in three colors with an arrow moved by a traffic controller.
In February and June 1917, crowded demonstrations and rallies and clashes between the rebels and the police took place on Znamenskaya Square. In memory of the revolutionary events in October 1918, this place became known as Vosstaniya Square.
Regular bus routes from Vosstaniya Square appeared in December 1926. From here the bus went to Vitebsky Station and further to Palace Square. There were initially five cars on the line.
In the early 1930s, the Znamenskaya Church was going to be closed. But then the world famous scientist Ivan Petrovich Pavlov had influence on the city government. According to one legend, Pavlov got married in this church. It is also known that the scientist was a deeply religious person and often visited here. Immediately after his death, the temple was demolished in 1936; the area it occupied remained for a long time surrounded by a fence, behind which the first station of the Leningrad metro was built.
In 1937, the monument to Alexander III was moved to the courtyard of the Mikhailovsky Palace.
The Great Patriotic War stopped the turbulent life of Vosstaniya Square. The last train left the Moscow station on August 29, 1941. The tram did not work in winter, but the following spring Leningraders managed to get it working again. On March 20, 1944, the first post-blockade train to the capital departed from the Moscow station. On this occasion, a ceremonial farewell ceremony for the train took place on the square.
In 1950-1952, the facades of all buildings on Vosstaniya Square were restored. In 1952, its center was occupied by a square, in which a foundation stone was installed. In its place it was planned to erect a monument to V.I. Lenin. By this time, the tram ring had been removed from the square, and the tram stopped running along Nevsky Prospekt. The roadway of the square was filled with asphalt concrete.
The place of the Znamenskaya Church was taken by the pavilion of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station, built according to the design of I. I. Fomin, B. N. Zhuravlev and V. V. Gankevich, opened on November 5, 1955. This metro station was one of the first eight to open in Leningrad.
The obelisk "Hero City Leningrad" was opened in the center of Vosstaniya Square on May 8, 1985, on the 40th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
In the 1980s, projects began to be created to create a two-level interchange on Vosstaniya Square, thanks to which the already heavily congested transport hub would have been decoupled. Ligovsky Prospekt, according to the plans of Soviet engineers, was supposed to pass under Nevsky. However, due to the high cost, the project was not implemented by the 1990s, and then, due to a change in the economic system, it was completely forgotten. In the 2000s, the project of creating a new shopping center under Vosstaniya Square was widely discussed. But due to the fact that underground work can negatively affect the condition of neighboring historical buildings, modern architects treat this project with great caution. Its implementation is also expensive for a modern capitalist economy. At the same time, there are still proposals to replace the obelisk with a monument to Alexander III.
The metro stations “Ploshchad Vosstaniya” and “Mayakovskaya” are located in the central part of St. Petersburg, in the eastern part of Nevsky Prospekt. Near these stations there are such facilities as the Moskovsky Station, the Gallery shopping center, the Nevsky Center shopping center, and the visa center.

VOSSTANIYA square
The square, located at the intersection of Nevsky and Litovsky prospects near the Moskovsky railway station, was previously called Znamenskaya. The street leading from the square also had this name. When the Ligovsky Canal flowed here, the bridge across it along Nevsky Prospekt was also called Znamensky. All these names come from the Znamenskaya Church, built in 1794-1804 on the site of a wooden church that had previously been there. In 1936, the Znamenskaya Church was dismantled. Now in its place is the ground vestibule of the Ploshchad Vosstaniya metro station. During the February Revolution of 1917, Znamenskaya Square became the site of rallies and demonstrations of workers. Since 1918 it has been called Vosstaniya Square. Later, in 1923, Vosstaniya Street became known as Znamenskaya Street. Vosstaniya Street runs from Nevsky Prospekt to Kirochnaya Street. In 1985, an obelisk to the hero city of Lenin was erected on Vosstaniya Square.
