Площадь Революции, Central square in Vladikavkaz, Russia.

Revolution Square is a square in Vladikavkaz's Industrial district at the crossing of Iristonskaya and Pozharsky streets. Its layout follows two axes: the bridge over the Terek and Pozharsky Street running west-east, and Iristonskaya Street running north-south. A granite obelisk stands where the axes meet, framed by buildings; architect Gevorg Chknavoryan created the ensemble, modelled on Yerevan's Republic Square.

The square was laid out in the second half of the 20th century at the crossing of Iristonskaya and Pozharskogo streets, where the axis of the Terek bridge meets the north-south axis of Iristonskaya. It was first named Square of the Chinese Volunteers for the Chinese fighters who died for Soviet power in the North Caucasus in 1918. After the 1969 Soviet-Chinese split it was renamed Revolution Square, though locals still call it "Kitayskaya".

Locals still call it "Kitayskaya" (Chinese) after its first name, Square of the Chinese Volunteers, honouring the Chinese fighters who died in the Civil War in the North Caucasus. The name was changed to Revolution Square after the 1969 Soviet-Chinese split, but the old name stuck.

The square is served by several bus lines and marshrutka minibuses that connect different neighborhoods throughout the city. Its central position makes it easy to reach on foot from most downtown areas.

Locals still call it "Kitayskaya" (Chinese Square), a name that survived the 1969 renaming after Soviet-Chinese relations worsened. The granite obelisk of 1960, designed by architect Anatoly Btemirov, honours the Chinese volunteers who died fighting for Soviet power in the North Caucasus.
