🌳 Fountain Square in Sokolniki

A round square with a large fountain, from which the main clearings of the old park radiate like rays.

Eight avenues fan out from the Sokolniki Circle, including Pesochnaya, the Luchevye and the Maysky clearings.
The fan layout of the clearings was cut in the 1840s.
The Maysky clearing was cut as early as Peter I, who held festivities here.
In 1883 a wooden rotunda was put up on the circle, where music played on holidays and later concerts and even operas were given.
In 1959 the American National Exhibition opened nearby, where Khrushchev and Nixon held the famous "kitchen debate".
