Why didn't you say Red Square instead of, in an English sentence, dropping in a Russian adjective and Russian noun?

  1. it's only a copy, paste, and click to get to Red Square
  2. it fits with the .ru transliteration of Volodymyr Zelenskyy
  3. it retains any original ambiguity between "red" and "beautiful"
  4. it avoids confusing the Union with the Federation
  5. it complies with dang's suggestion not to overly spoon-feed each other

I should say I got it of course, but not sure others in general would.

I had double checked that (1) worked before including it, and for that matter, even untransliterated « красная площадь » gives me "Red Square, Moscow, Russia, 109012" above the fold when using the most popular search engine.
