The name Red Square originates neither from the pigment of the surrounding bricks (which, in fact, were whitewashed at certain periods) nor from the link between the colour red and communism.
O nome da Praza Vermella non provén nin pola cor dos ladrillos que o rodean (que, de feito, foron blanqueados en certos momentos da historia), nin da relación entre a cor vermella e o comunismo.
