Lenin Square (Russian: Площадь Ленина) is the main square in Donetsk, the capital of the proto-state breakaway republic of the Donetsk People's Republic. It is located between the streets of Artem, Postyshev, Gurov, and Komsomolskiy Avenue.[1]

It was formed between 1927 and 1967.[2] In 1967, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution, a monument to Lenin was erected on Lenin's Square.[3][4]

Many notable events have occurred on the square recently, including the following:

  • The protest by pro-Russian separatists against the Ukrainian Government took place on the square.
  • Parades of the separatist government in honor of Victory Day, May 1, and the founding of the DPR take place on the square.
