Where did you grow up?

My hometown is Tomsk. It is a city in the center of Asian part of our country in Siberia region. Historical center of the town is Revolution Square (nowadays it’s named – Novosobornaja, but I prefer its past name from my childhood). When I was a young girl there were going demonstrations on 7 of November and 1 of May. I was fascinating of them and eager waited them. Once, when my mother was ill and couldn’t go, I went to the demonstration alone with her organization. :))

Tricky. Not sure exactly what you mean. You travelled there alone, and joined her organisation at the demonstration? You went with her organisation to the demonstration, but you were "alone" because she wasn't with you?

To me "alone" strongly implies that *no-one* was with you, so it's a little awkward alongside "with her organisation". But I'm not sure how best to rephrase it. "I left her at home and went to the demonstration with her organisation", maybe. They do sound like they were fun events :)

"its old name" or "its previous name" probably more natural here. " - " doesn't work here. You would say "named Novosobornaja" without pausing, so no " - ", no comma.
