Lenin Square is the central square of Novosibirsk. It is located on the Red Avenue in the place of its intersection with the streets of Lenin, Deputatskaya, Ordzhonikidze and Vokzalnaya highway. It is divided into transport and theatrical, with a square and a monument to Vladimir Lenin. Also, here there is a station of the Novosibirsk underground - "Lenin's Square".

In 1928 the "Business House" (Krasny Prospekt, 25) was built. Even before the construction of the house, at the suggestion of the engineer Safronov, the building was decided to move 58 meters inside the block from the Red Avenue. This was done in order to organize in front of the building parking for crews and cars.The proposal developed, and engineer I. Zagrivko suggested the idea of ​​creating a central square in Novosibirsk. Beginning in 1926, the square began to form (first as a parking for transport in front of the "Business House", and then, since 1931, as a square in front of the building of a monetary bank, as well as in the future theater of ballet and opera).

The present Lenin Square was renamed quite often. On the site of Lenin Square before the revolution was the New Market Square. In 1920, it was renamed Red Square. By the end of the Civil War in Russia, the square was renamed the Victims of the Revolution Square and was named after 1922-1924. In 1924, after Lenin's death, the square was named in his honor. From 1935 to 1961 the main square of Novosibirsk was named after IV Stalin, but after the de-Stalinization campaign in 1961, the square was returned to Lenin's name.
