Red Square

Red Square is a plaza in the city of Leningrad. It is a flat square made of red bricks, in a spot that is considered the heart of the [|Soviet Union Minecraft Server]. Several important government buildings surround the plaza, and a statue of Vladimir Lenin in Minecraft form stands on a centre fountain.

History
Before Red Suare, Filmreelriley had previously expressed concern for the amount of space that was seperating the Leningrad Courthouse and the city of Greater Leningrad. Between these places was an ice pond, with a small mound sticking out of the middle, where the server's original spawn was. There was a house made by Mcginger_1497 in the mound and pathways connecting the house to Greater Leningrad and the Courthouse. Filmrelriley saw this as the perfect area for Red Square, and after demolishing the pathways, he started laying down the blocks. Groundbreaking for Red Square occured on January 29th, 2012 at the start of the First Revolution. The construction was a group effort by the Order of Lenin and is cosidered to be the pivotal point of the transition to the U.S.S.R. The plaza itself was designed by Filmreelriley. Most of the Order of Lenin helped to lay down the blocks, and the site was measured by Cmashburn. He built around the mound house, but Mcginger_1497 later insisted he remove it. The original scheme was brick blocks, but after discovering that the plaza would turn white with snow, Filmreelriley decided to remove the bricks, dig down an extra level, and place red wool with glass on top. The bulk of this project was done by Cmashburn. The glass plaza immediately fell out of favour, with Mcginger_1497 saying "It's giving me a headache". It was later agreed that the snow-resistant Brick Slabs would be more suitable, and they were placed over the glass floor (which is still intact beneath the plaza). The Kremlin was the first structure built specifically for Red Square.
