Russian Federation Susanin Square, Kostroma
Susaninskaya Square in Kostroma is the city’s main plaza which is framed by an architectural ensemble of the late 18th- early 19th centuries.
The square is named in honor of Ivan Susanin, a national hero who demonstrated true love for his nation when he cunningly lured attacking troops into a forest to divert them from their target, Tsar Michael of Russia. The patriotic act cost Susanin his life, and he has since been immortalized in the opera "Ivan Susanin" by M. Glinka and in Kostroma, where a monument to him can be seen on Susaninskaya Square.
