In this place stood Exaltation of the Cross Temple
At the start of the 17th century, the wooden church in name of the Exaltation of the Lord’s Cross was in this place. In 1740 under the leadership of the weaponry factory architect I. O. Nikipelov, a stone temple was built.
In 1934 it was taken down, and the square that was formed in this place was called Chelyuskintsev, in honor of the heroes/polar explorers.
In 1935, a monument to Labor and Defense was installed on the square. It was a group of sculptures, in the center of which on a pedestal stood a Red Army soldier, around whom were a drummer girl, a student, and a pioneer. In 1989, the monument was demolished.
In 2006, the square was renamed Exaltation of the Cross.
