      • The square was named in 2005 after Anatoly Sobchak, mayor of Petersburg in 1991–1996.
      • The bronze bust of Sobchak by Igor Korneev was unveiled in June 2006.
      • Until the 19th century the Smolensky Field lay here, a place of executions; in 1866 Dmitry Karakozov was hanged here.
      • The Kirov Palace of Culture was built in 1931–1937 to a design by Noi Trotsky; its restoration has been under way since 2021.
