Freedom Square (Kharkiv)
Freedom Square ((ウクライナ語:Площа Свободи), ''Plóshcha Svobodý''; (ロシア語:Площадь Свободы), ''Plóshchad' Svobódy'') in Kharkiv is the 8th largest city-centre square in Europe.
Upon the Soviet takeover the square was named 'Dzerzhinsky Square' in 1926 after Felix Dzerzhinsky, the founder of the Bolshevik secret police (the Cheka, precursor to the KGB). After the independence of Ukraine it was renamed Freedom Square. During the brief German occupation the name of the square changed twice: in 1942 the square was named German Army Square, and in 1943 Leibstandarte SS Square. A monumental statue of Lenin was erected in 1964 and was torn down by protesters on September 28, 2014.
The main part of the square is bordered to the west by the site of the statue of Lenin, to the east by Sumska street, to the north by the Hotel Kharkiv and to the south by Shevchenko park. It is approximately long and wide. The area of the complete square is approximately . A notable landmark of the square is the Derzhprom building, a prime example of constructivist architecture.
