cars and buses in Mayakovsky Square, Moscow, early 1960s

"Mayakovsky Square in Moscow was originally named Triumfalnaya Square but was renamed in the 1930s to honor the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. A monument to Mayakovsky, created by Aleksandr Kibalnikov, was erected on the square in 1958. The square has since returned to its original name, Triumfalnaya Square, while the monument remains."
