History
At the beginning of the 19th century, the main institutions of the Don Cossacks were located on Pavlova Square. In this place for 15 years was the administrative center of New Cherkassk. The square at that time was called Parade. And in 1895, the documents were listed as Institutskaya Square. It received its new name due to the fact that from the middle of the XIX century Donskoy Mariinsky Women's Institute was located in this place. After the institute was transferred to another building, the square was renamed again and was named after the ataman of the Don Cossack NI Svyatopolk-Mirsky . In 1910 a church in the name of Seraphim of Sarov was built on the territory of the square, which was later destroyed in the 1930s. At the same time, the square was renamed again and became known as the Lassalle Square [2] - in honor of the German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle . In 1963, the square received a new name and became the Pavlov Square - under this name it is also known to residents of the 21st century. Georgy Pavlov was a war hero, in September 1942, he and Timofey Vasilyevich Kolyvanov blew up a wagon with German ammunition, as a result of which traffic on the railway was suspended. Because of this, he was killed [1] . Georgy Pavlov was posthumously awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree [3] .
