Red Square (English spelling)

Japanese: 赤の広場 - あかのひろば(英語表記)Красная площадь/Krasnaya ploshchad'
Red Square (English spelling)

A long and narrow square in the center of Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation. It covers an area of ​​73,000 square meters. Located to the east of the Kremlin, the square was created in the 17th century after the open-air market was removed. Before the Russian Revolution (1917), the square was only half its current size. After the Lenin Mausoleum was built from dark red rocks in front of the Kremlin walls in the late 1920s after the Russian Revolution, the sight of a line of Russians and foreigners visiting the mausoleum stretching from Alexander Park, west of the Kremlin, past the State Historical Museum at the western end of Red Square, and extending to Red Square, became a Moscow specialty during the Soviet era. Today, although not as many foreigners as before, you can still see visitors from the provinces and visitors from the provinces on Saturdays and Sundays. In 1990, it was registered as a World Heritage Site along with the Kremlin (World Cultural Heritage). During Soviet times, parades were held in this square on May 1st, May Day, and November 7th, the anniversary of the Russian Revolution, but these have not been held since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

ロシア連邦の首都モスクワの都心にある細長い広場。面積7万3000平方メートル。クレムリンの東にあり、17世紀に露天市(いち)を取り払って広場がつくられた。ロシア革命(1917)前は現在の面積の2分の1しかなかった。クレムリンの壁の前に、ロシア革命後の1920年代末、暗赤色の岩石でレーニン廟(びょう)がつくられて以後、この廟に詣(もう)でるロシア人や外国人の列が、クレムリンの西にあるアレクサンドル公園から、赤の広場の西端に立つ国立歴史博物館わきを通り、赤の広場へ延びる光景はソ連時代のモスクワの名物となっていた。現在では、かつてほどではないが、外国人や、土曜、日曜に地方から出てきた参拝者がみられる。クレムリンとともに1990年に世界遺産の文化遺産として登録された(世界文化遺産)。ソ連時代には5月1日のメーデー、11月7日の革命記念日には、この広場でパレードが行われたが、ソ連解体後は行われていない。
