Ivanovskaya Square is situated at the territory of the Moscow Kremlin. Its name originated from the Ivan the Great Bell Tower - the highest building in old Moscow. In 16th – 17th centuries Russian central government agencies, called Prikazes were located here. There was neither press, nor radio and television at that time. The news were just announced out loud to the crowd gathered around. People could get the important information at the Ivanovskaya square, where the special heralds read governmental orders in a loud voice. From this tradition, the idiom “to shout all over Ivanovskaya (square)” originated. Figuratively, it means “to shout with all one’s might” or simply “to shout at the top of one’s voice”. «Here was the crowd of clerks and scribes that were working at the square. They wrote various kinds of papers for those who needed it. At the time of Peter the Great the numerous clerks were legalized, they were headed by a special officer “in order to lessen the nation-wide bureaucracy and to write the papers for illiterate people” (G.Istomin. Kolokolnya Ivana Velikogo, 1893)
