Pushkinskaya Square or Pushkin Square (Russian: Пу́шкинская пло́щадь) is a pedestrian open space in the Tverskoy District in central Moscow. Historically, it was known as Strastnaya Square (Russian: Страстная площадь) before being renamed for Alexander Pushkin in 1937.[1][2]

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 (1.2 mi) 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.

The former Strastnaya Square name originates from the Passion Monastery (Russian: Страстной монастырь, Strastnoy Monastery), which was demolished in the 1930s by the Soviet regime.

At the center of the square is a statue of Pushkin, funded by public subscription and unveiled by Ivan Turgenev and Fyodor Dostoyevsky in 1880. In 1950, Joseph Stalin had the statue moved to the other side of the Tverskaya Street, where the historic Passion Monastery had formerly stood. On 5 December 1965, Glasnost Meeting, the first spontaneous public political demonstration in the Soviet Union after the Second World War, took place here. In January 1990, the first McDonald's restaurant in Soviet Union and largest one in the world at that time opened here.

And, for example, in Odessa a street under the same name is described as:

Vulytsia Pushkinska (Ukrainian: Пушкінська) is a street in the downtown of Odesa, Ukraine. The street is named after Russian poet Alexander Pushkin, who lived on the street. The street starts from the Dumska Square and finishes at the crossing with the Panteleymonivska Street. The street was founded in 1827.

The street was founded as Italian Street (Ukrainian: вулиця Італійська, vulytsia Italiiska). It was named after Pushkin on June 25, 1880, and the street saved the name until now. Although Pushkin lived in several different buildings at different times, the Museum of Pushkin (the branch of the Odesa Literature Museum) was organized at Pushkinska Street 13. The statue of Pushkin was founded at the front of the building dedicating to the 200th-year jubilee of his birthday.

Many famous architecture monuments are located on the street; among them are Abazy Palace (now the Odesa Museum of Western and Eastern Art), the New Burse Building (now the Odesa Philharmonic Theater), and the Bristol Hotel.

Страстная площадь

Она же — Пушкинская

Самая многострадальная площадь старой Москвы — та, где стоит в окружении фонарей памятник Пушкину. Ее пространство двести лет застраивали, украшали и разрушили в минувшем веке на моих глазах, нанеся последние удары в 1960–1970-е годы. История площади началась в Средние века, с деревянных Тверских ворот в земляном оборонительном валу. В конце XVI века его заменили каменной, побеленной известкой стеной, получившей название Белого города. Воздвиг мощную крепость, окружавшую всю Москву, поражавшую иностранцев неприступностью и размерами, «государев мастер» Федор Иванов, по прозвищу Конь, отличившийся при трех царях: Иване Грозном, Федоре Иоанновиче и Борисе Годунове.
