All over Ivanovo
The Moscow saying "in all Ivanovskaya" means that the action in question is performed with special dashing, in full force, on a full scale. Its appearance is associated with the famous Ivan the Great bell tower in the Kremlin. Ivan the Great is the popular name of one of the oldest Kremlin churches — the Church of St. John the Ladder "under the bells" (that is, with a bell tower above the church proper). The bell Tower of Ivan the Great is a Moscow landmark and a national shrine. There is a popular belief that as long as Ivan the Great stands, Russia will also stand. The space around Ivan the Great – Ivanovskaya Square - in the XVII century was the center of state institutions, and sometimes they "shouted a cry", that is, they shouted any announcements. Perhaps this is where the expression came from: "shout to the whole Ivanovskaya Square." However, there is another version of the proverb's origin associated with the bells of Ivan the Great. Each bell tower had a set of bells of different sizes and sounds, and such a set was called a "bell surname" (that is, a family). Usually, only a part of the bells were rung, and only in particularly important cases - the whole family name. The Ivanovskaya surname numbered about 40 bells, and when they sounded all together, Muscovites said: "They're calling all over Ivanovskaya."
