Talk:Red Square

red
Why is it called the Red Square? Because Russia adopted state capitalism for a while? -- Romanophile ♞ (contributions) 12:18, 12 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It's sort of a mistranslation. The Russian adjective does mean "red", but when the square was named it had the meaning "beautiful" (now archaic). Ƿidsiþ 07:00, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
