Lubyanka Square Lubyanskaya Square (Russian: Лубянская площадь , Lubyanskaya ploshchad'), or simply Lubyanka in Moscow lies about 900 m north-east of Red Square. History first records its name in 1480, when Grand Prince Ivan III of Moscow, who had conquered Novgorod in 1471, settled many Novgorodians in the area. They built the church of St Sophia, modelled after St Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod, and called the area "Lubyanka" after the Lubyanitsy district of their native city.
