Description 
We now come to Pushkinskaya Square. Up to 1932 it was called Strastnaya after the Strastnoi Convent which stood on the site before being demolished in the Soviet period. In front of the 'Rossiya' Cinema stands the monument to Pushkin designed by Opekushin, which is especially loved and revered by Muscovites. It was erected with funds raised by public subscription and was unveiled in an impressive ceremony on 14June 1881. At that time it stood on the opposite side of the square at the beginning of Tverskoi Boulevard, and the attractive Strastnoi Convent stood in front of it. In 1950 Pushkin was to leave Tverskoi Boulevard, for the monument was transferred to the other side of the square. It was turned through 180° and placed on the exact site of the convent bell tower. On the site now occupied by the editorial offices of 'Izvestiya' stood the house of Rimskaya-Korsakova. Muscovites called it 'the House of Famusov' from Griboyedov's comedy Grief from Intellect. The writer was a frequent visitor to the house. It is said that once when he was a guest at a ball at Madame Korsakova's he started criticising Muscovites for their love of everything French. His words were exactly like the forthcoming monologue of Chatsky: 'Would that God could destroy this impure spirit of blind, slavish and foolish imitation.' Everybody decided that Griboyedov had gone mad, and later many of them visited him to check on his health. Griboyedov could not bear these constant visits and he protested loudly: 'I'll show them that I am not mad!' His response was to write Grief from Intellect. The house was later knocked down regardless of its age and the memories of Griboyedov.
