Vosstaniya Square, Regional heritage square in Taganrog, Russia

Vosstaniya Square is a city square in Taganrog bounded by Frunze Street, Smirnovsky Lane, Oktyabrskaya Street and the facade of the railway station. Its central space was rebuilt between 2002 and 2005 to architect P. V. Bondarenko's design, which added a one-way road across the square to ease traffic on Smirnovsky Lane. A chapel of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built and consecrated in front of the station in 2012.

Until the 1860s the site was pastureland. After the railway and station were built, the area became a trading place with dozens of shops and stalls; the annual fairs moved here from the old Fair Square. In 1935 a public garden was laid out, a Lenin monument by sculptor D. Yakerson was installed, and the square was renamed Vosstaniya in memory of the January 1918 armed uprising. The name only stuck when it was confirmed again on 13 February 1958.

The name Vosstaniya, confirmed again on 13 February 1958, commemorates the January 1918 armed uprising; residents long kept calling it Station Square. In summer 1873 schoolboys Alexander and Anton Chekhov sold goods from one of the market stalls here. A chapel of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built and consecrated in front of the station in 2012.

The square lies between Frunze Street, Smirnovsky Lane, Oktyabrskaya Street and the railway station facade. A one-way road laid across it in the 2002–2005 reconstruction by architect P. V. Bondarenko was meant to ease traffic on Smirnovsky Lane along the Torговый ряд market. The intercity bus station stands on the side where forest warehouses once traded.

In the summer of 1873, schoolboys Alexander and Anton Chekhov sold goods from one of the dozens of stalls on the station square, on the site of today's intercity bus station where timber warehouses once stood. The future writer was then a gymnasium pupil in Taganrog.
