'''Lubyanskaya Square''' ({{Langx|ru|Лубянская площадь}}, Lubyanskaya ploshchad'), or simply '''Lubyanka''' in [[Moscow]] lies about {{convert|900|m|yd}} north-east of [[Red Square]]. History first records its name in 1480, when Grand Prince [[Ivan III]] of Moscow, who had conquered [[Novgorod]] in 1471, settled many Novgorodians in the area. They built the church of St Sophia, modelled after [[St Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod]], and called the area ''Lubyanka'' after the Lubyanitsa street of their native city.
