The first houses were built here in 1907. At that time, the square was called Hlávkovo. Probably after 1914 it took the name Kubíkovo náměstí after the deceased former mayor. In 1925, it was officially named Siberian Square. An exception was the period of German occupation, when in the years 1940 - 1945 it was called Ošperské Square. Aspern (Aspry, Ošpry) is a village in Lower Austria, where the battle between the Austrians and the French was fought in 1809. Of the local family houses, the one with No. 280, built in 1907 according to the design of the architect Jan Kotěra, is interesting. The older buildings were supplemented in the second half of the 20th century by the buildings of the Russian School, today the Secondary School at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Czech Republic. Since 1981, a sculpture of two girls, called Mládí, by sculptor Jiří Kryštůvek, has stood on a high pedestal near the school. The first houses were built here in 1907.
