It partly occupies the former vast ground of Semenovsky Lifeguard Regiment. Members of Petrashevsky's Circle were subjected to a mock execution in the ground in 1849 and killers of Emperor Alexander II were hanged on 3 April 1881. There was a race track in the ground in 1880s and the first cycle track in St. Petersburg opened in 1893. Most of the ground was built up in 1940-50s. The area that remained unbuilt was named Pionerskaya Square in 1962. The Juvenile Theatre was built by architect A. V. Zhuk at number 1 in the same year. A monument to A. S. Griboedov by sculptor V. V. Lishev was installed in 1959.<br/><br/>Reference: Кириков Б. М., Марголис А. Д. Пионерская площадь. Л., 1983.<br/><br/>O. A.
