Azimut Hotel Murmansk on Five Corners

Five Corners (Russian: Пять Углов) is the main square of Murmansk, Russia. From 1977 until December 1990 it was formally named "Soviet Constitution Square",^[1] but this name never entered wide popular use.

The following buildings are located on the square:

• the Murmansk Regional Duma building (this building formerly housed the Sevryba Management Software company)
• the General Post Office
• the Kirov Cultural and Technology Center
• the Azimut Hotel Murmansk (formerly the Arctic)
• the Meridian Hotel
• Volna ("Wave"), a supermarket

Until the mid-1980s, there were many two-story wooden houses around the square. The last of these was demolished after the construction of the Hotel Arctic.
