This square’s name was changed many times. Originally Nikolaev square, later Teveleva square, Soviet Ukraine square ,finally Constitution square. On the south-western side of the Nikolaev Square (Soviet Ukraine Square) there were trade houses of Dobrinin (1880), in place of which in 1915-1916 a house of insurance company 'Russia' was built (Labor Palace) as well as a shop of Ponamarev's and Ryzhov's products, where now there is a 'Lux' shop. The famous building, that was built at the beginning of that century by architect Beketov on the Constitution square.
This square will likely be one of the first things you will encounter when you walk or travel around Kharkiv. There are several sights of interest all right within walking distance of each other (e.g. statue, museum). And from the square, you can walk down the main road that leads you to a few nice parks along with Gorky Park
