I'm not at all sure that Bolotnaya Square has something to do with Balchug. If there are some Muscovites lurking about, please clear up where the square is located. --Ghirla -трёп- 21:12, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The aforementioned square is indeed located on the island. I'd like to mention, though, that Balchug is an unofficial name of the island -- believe it or not, it has no official name. (http://www.moskva.ru/history/legends/zamoskvorechie2.html , link in Russian) I myself always call it Sadovniki. Mapple 18:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
