Grandma Square

Babushkin Square in the city of Vologda is a station square in the city. It got its name in honor of Ivan Vasilyevich Babushkin, a famous Russian revolutionary.

Once the square was called the Station, then it was renamed the square named after O.Y. Schmidt. In January 1973, the square was renamed again and became Babushkin Square. In 1973 it was one hundred years since the birth of the revolutionary.
