      • The name "Red" ("beautiful") stuck to the square in the second half of the 17th century; before that it was called Torg ("the Market") and Pozhar ("the Burnt Place").
      • The square measures about 330 by 75 metres.
      • In 1990 Red Square, together with the Kremlin, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
      • The Lobnoye Mesto is mentioned from 1549; contrary to legend, executions were usually held not on it but next to it.
      • The Minin and Pozharsky monument by Ivan Martos was unveiled in 1818 and moved to St Basil's Cathedral in 1931.
      • GUM, formerly the Upper Trading Rows, was built in 1890–1893 to a design by Alexander Pomerantsev.
      • The present granite Lenin Mausoleum was built to a design by Alexey Shchusev in 1930.
      • On 7 November 1941 troops leaving the parade marched from here straight to the front.
