The Square of Changes (also, Peremen Square; Belarusian: Плошча Перамен; other informal names: "Peremen Square", "Courtyard of Change," and "DJ Area of Change") is the name of a popular courtyard in Minsk, Belarus, located at the intersection of Chervyakov, Kakhovskaya, and Smorgovsky streets. It appeared spontaneously in August 2020 during the protests after the sixth presidential election in Belarus. On the wall of a ventilation booth, unknown people painted a mural of two sound engineers from the Minsk State Palace of Children and Youth (Kirill Galanov and Vladislav Sokolovsky), who played Viktor Tsoi's song "Khochu Peremen" at the official pro-Lukashenko event on August 6, 2020 in Kiev Square, Minsk.
Since mid-August 2020, the mural depicting the sound engineers has been removed many times by public officials but re-created by local residents every time it was vandalized. The locals regularly invite musicians to their evening concerts, conduct self-educating lectures, and decorate the space with national symbols.[1]
